- More time indoors means more shared germs
- Dry, heated air irritates your nose and throat

Immune drips with vitamin C and zinc are popular. For a much higher dose of vitamin C, a High-C IV may be an option after G6PD screening.

Talk with our team. Many people use IVs proactively. If you have a fever, severe symptoms or feel very ill, see a doctor.
How often should I get an immune IV during cold and flu season?
It depends on your health, travel and exposure. Our team can recommend a seasonal plan.
Do IVs replace a flu shot?
No. IV therapy supports wellness but doesn't replace vaccines or medical care. Talk with your doctor about vaccines.
