IV Vitamin Therapy
Immune IV Drip
IV Vitamin Therapy
Your immune system is designed to protect you against infections. However, there are a multitude of reasons why it might not be as effective as it should be. This is where our immune IV drip comes in – by replenishing the nutrients your immune system needs for optimum performance.
As practitioners of functional medicine, we encourage our patients to make positive lifestyle choices that impact all areas of their health, including the immune system. However, we recognise that no lifestyle can be perfect, and there are many other factors that influence immune health. This is why we created the immune IV drip, which can be tailored to your individual needs.
“The immune IV drip is invaluable to those who are on the go all the time, especially frequent flyers, commuters, jobs which expose you to many people or children like teachers and those who live or work in high pollution areas, like London. Our immune IV drip aids in maintaining optimal immune system function, so it can work at its best to protect you against illness. In addition, this drip is an amazing gut restorer. Thanks to the inclusion of the amino acid glutamine, you’ll receive extra gut health protection.”

From birth, the immune system provides some general protection against infections, but there are many environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence the effectiveness of the immune system as we age.
These factors include:
The main symptom of poor immune function is frequent or prolonged illnesses, such as colds and other infections. However, there are other telltale signs. These include:
Those with a very weak immune system may be more likely to experience an autoimmune disorder, blood abnormalities and inflammation of the internal organs.
The immune IV drip contains:
Immune amino acid blend: This is a mix of essential amino acids that aid with building proteins and strengthening the immune and digestive systems. This blend comprises:
Glutathione: Often referred to as the ‘master antioxidant’, glutathione has a number of benefits. In addition to maintaining normal function of the immune system, this antioxidant supports the liver in clearing toxins from the body.
Zinc: You may know zinc for its skin, hair and nails benefits. However, this micronutrient also plays a key role in strengthening the immune system. It does this by activating enzymes that break down the proteins in bacteria which cause infections – and this impairs their ability to spread throughout the body. Zinc can also support the body in recovering from infections.
The immune IV drip has been designed to target some of the most common nutrient deficiencies that occur when the body has constantly been in ‘fight’ mode. As such, it can benefit people who suffer from multiple infections, including seasonal infections or intolerances. We find that the immune IV drip can be particularly helpful in young parents or grandparents where the child is constantly exposed to new infections and brings them home from nursery or school.
We can also personalise the immune IV drip to you and your needs by adding additional ingredients as deemed necessary. Do ask your IV practitioner for guidance and advice during your in-depth consultation. This is a prime opportunity to discuss symptoms, medical history and other influential factors.
IV vitamin therapy at Harpal Clinic includes an initial consultation with our IV nurse.
