IV Vitamin Therapy

Immune IV Drip

Immune IV Drip
Supporting your immune system so it can work at its full potential

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.”

What is the immune IV drip good for?

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:

  • Sleep quality
  • Mental health
  • Diet
  • Exercise levels
  • Certain medications including antibiotics
  • Smoking, alcohol consumption and drug use
  • Exposure to environmental pollutants (like living or working in London)
  • Age

Symptoms of poor immune function

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:

  • Digestive problems such as diarrhoea, constipation and bloating
  • Wounds that take a long time to heal
  • Feeling tired all the time
  • Skin issues such as eczema, acne and dermatitis

Those with a very weak immune system may be more likely to experience an autoimmune disorder, blood abnormalities and inflammation of the internal organs.

What’s in the immune drip?

The immune IV drip contains:

  • Glutathione
  • Zinc
  • Immune amino acid immune blend (L-arginine-HCl, L-lysine-HCl, L-glutamine, taurine, glycine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, L-methionine)

 

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:

  • L-arginine-HCl: Helps to build proteins and is thought to inhibit growth of some cancers.
  • L-lysine-HCl: The body cannot make lysine; it must be obtained through diet. Lysine can help promote wound healing by helping to create collagen. It also plays a role in helping the body to absorb calcium, iron and zinc.
  • L-glutamine: This is needed to make other amino acids, and is essentially a fuel for the cells of the immune system.
  • N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC): This anti-inflammatory amino acid supports lung function, suppresses viral replication, and breaks down mucus in the body.
  • Taurine: Protects the body from oxidative stress associated with inflammatory diseases. It also supports nerve growth, lowers blood pressure, and is essential for heart health.
  • Glycine: A precursor for important metabolites like glutathione, this antioxidant and anti-inflammatory also helps regulate the immune system.
  • L-methionine: This has antioxidant properties that can help protect against oxidative stress.

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 Harpal way

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.
