Boosting Fall and Winter Immunity with IV Therapies
Your immune system is your body’s natural defense system. It protects your body from harmful substances, germs and cell changes that could make you ill.
Micronutrients — vitamins and minerals — fuel your immune system and keep it strong so you stay healthy. It is also important that we stay well hydrated and get plenty of good, routine sleep. Including a variety of organic fruits and vegetables daily, limiting sugar, fast food and alcohol will also keep your immune system functioning optimally. Getting fresh air, some sunshine and walking regularly will keep you oxygenated and keep your digestive tract moving while supporting your immune system.
But immune systems aren’t perfect, and sometimes they fail. Even if you are following a recommended wellness routine, maintaining the right balance of vitamins and minerals for optimal well-being isn’t always easy.
If you’re seeking additional ways to enhance your immune health, our team at The IV Method offer IV vitamin therapy to help you feel better. Whether you’re seeking more energy, hydration, or immunity boost, IV vitamin infusions may be for you.
Vitamin IV Therapies for Enhanced Wellness
It’s almost impossible to get every micronutrient you need from food alone. IV vitamin therapy is a popular supplement to a healthy lifestyle because it delivers a nearly immediate boost of micronutrients in the body.
At The IV Method, we offer a variety of IV Therapies that can give the body a much-needed boost during the darker, indoor winter season, including:
The Fighter: Designed with the top immune strengthening vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, Zinc, Glutathione, Magnesium, to help your immune system prevent illnesses and make you feel better faster after getting sick.
The Classic - Myers’ Cocktail: Comprised of a well-known blend of Magnesium, Calcium, B vitamins, Vitamin C other nutrients, this cocktail is designed to help alleviate chronic symptoms, restore vitamin balance, help your body process stress, and improve overall immunity.
Liquid Sunshine - Mood and Immunity Boost: This formula is a blend of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and hydrating sodium chloride that can combat both low mood and energy. This infusion also includes a Vitamin D intramuscular injection, allowing your body to benefit from what is commonly known as “the sunshine vitamin.”
High Dose Vitamin C: 25G, 50G*, 75G*, 100G*: An essential antioxidant for overall health, Vitamin C has high levels of anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-histamine properties making it a powerhouse for our entire immune system. It also helps improve quality of life by increasing energy and reducing nausea. We do not produce Vitamin C in our bodies, therefore it must be ingested in food or supplemented either orally or via IV. *A G6PD test is required prior to doses over 35 grams. Feel free to contact our wellness clinic, Integrative Medicine NW, for more information on testing.
Each unique blend of vitamins and other nutrients boosts function within your body. For example, we might recommend the Myers’ Cocktail if you’re seeking increased immunity and energy or a way to decrease stress and anxiety. Or The Fighter if you are feeling your immune system compromised and noticing symptoms of a cold.
IV drip therapy allows 100% absorption of nutrients where as oral intake (food or supplements) can absorb as little as 10-50% depending on the health of each person’s digestive tract. Let us know what you desire in boosting your personal immunity and we will assist in finding the best fit for you!

Marine Fish Oil: Omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids found in cold water marine fish support many physiological processes related to immune function, regulation of inflammation, lipoprotein metabolism, brain function, and mood regulation.
Vitamins and minerals play a vital role in supporting your immune system.
