As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, it’s easy to notice your energy dip and your body feeling more susceptible to colds and flu. Between busy work schedules, family responsibilities, and the winter chill, keeping your immune system in top shape can feel like a constant challenge. That’s where IV Therapy comes in. 

Unlike traditional supplements that take time to absorb, IV infusions deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream, giving your body an immediate boost. Whether you’re trying to stay healthy during cold and flu season or simply want to feel your best, IV Therapy provides a fast, effective way to support your immune system and recharge your energy. 

At Garden City Medical & Wellness Spa in Garden City, NY, our expert team customizes each infusion to your unique needs, helping you build resilience from the inside out and face the season with confidence.

How IV Therapy Supports Your Immune System

IV infusions provide a direct route to deliver essential nutrients where your body needs them most. Some of the key immune-boosting benefits include:

  • Rapid nutrient absorption – Nutrients bypass the digestive system, allowing your body to use them immediately.

  • Targeted support – Customized blends can include vitamin C, zinc, B-complex vitamins, and more to fortify your immune system.

  • Hydration boost – Adequate hydration is critical for immune function, and IV therapy helps replenish fluids efficiently.

  • Energy and recovery – Improved hydration and nutrient balance can reduce fatigue and support faster recovery from illness.

Who Can Benefit From IV Immunity Therapy?

Almost anyone looking to strengthen their body before or during cold and flu season may find value in IV therapy. Common candidates include:

  • Busy professionals juggling work and personal life.

  • Parents managing multiple family responsibilities.

  • Athletes or active individuals with higher nutrient demands.

  • Anyone experiencing fatigue, low energy, or frequent illness.

What to Expect During an IV Therapy Session

Understanding the process can help set expectations and ease any concerns:

  • Consultation first – A healthcare professional reviews your health history and assesses your needs.

  • Customized infusion – The IV bag is prepared with a vitamin and mineral blend tailored for your immune system.
  • Session duration – 500ml bags take about 60 minutes, while 1000ml bags take around 90 minutes.

  • Quick and comfortable – Most sessions take 30–45 minutes. Relaxation areas are provided to make the experience calm and pleasant.

  • Immediate effects – Many patients notice a boost in energy and well-being within hours.

Safety and Considerations

IV therapy is generally safe for healthy adults. However, there are a few considerations:

  • Ensure you disclose your full medical history and any medications.

  • Stay hydrated before and after your session.

  • Mild side effects may include a cool sensation at the injection site or temporary lightheadedness, but these are rare.

How Often Should You Get IV Therapy for Immunity?

The frequency of treatments depends on your goals, lifestyle, and health status. Many people schedule:

  • Once weekly during high-risk periods.

  • Every few weeks, as a preventative measure during cold and flu season.

  • As needed if feeling run down or after recovering from illness.

Regular sessions can help maintain nutrient levels, support overall wellness, and reduce susceptibility to seasonal illnesses.

Glutathione Push: An Extra Boost

At Garden City Medical & Wellness Spa, many of our IV cocktails offer the option to add a glutathione push for an additional $50. Glutathione is a powerful tripeptide made of cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine, known for its potent antioxidant, detoxifying, and cell-protective properties.

  • Slows down the aging process of cells

  • Supports liver and cellular function while promoting detoxification

  • Increases energy levels

  • Boosts immune function

  • Improves skin health, mental focus, and sleep quality

  • Reduces the effects of stress

Please note that our Entice, Purify, and Immunity Now IV cocktails already include glutathione as part of the infusion.
