Why Immunity IVs and Injections Matter During Cold & Flu Season

Dec 10, 2025

Why Immunity IVs or Injections Help During Cold & Flu Season

Why Do Immunity IVs and Injections Matter During Cold & Flu Season? Cold and flu season hits fast—and often at the most inconvenient moments. Between work, family, travel, and holiday gatherings, most people don’t have time to be sick. That’s why many of our Bend, Oregon patients choose an Immunity IV or Tri-Immune injection as an extra layer of protection during the months when viral illnesses are at their peak.

At Flow Wellness, we focus on proactive care. Strengthening your immune system before symptoms appear is one of the most effective ways to support your health and keep your energy up all season long.

Here’s how Vitamin C, Zinc, and Glutathione – the powerhouse trio inside our immunity therapies—work together to help your body stay resilient.

Vitamin C: Your Body’s First Line of Defense

Vitamin C is one of the most well-studied immune-support nutrients. It helps your body:

  • Increase white blood cell production — the cells that fight infection

  • Neutralize free radicals and inflammation

  • Strengthen the skin and mucous membranes — natural barriers that prevent viral entry

  • Recover faster when illness hits

While oral vitamin C is helpful, IV delivery provides much higher bioavailability, giving your immune system a rapid boost when it needs it most.

Zinc: Essential for Immune Cell Function

Zinc plays a direct role in how your immune system responds to pathogens. It helps:

  • Activate T-cells and natural killer cells

  • Reduce the severity and duration of colds

  • Support healthy inflammation levels

  • Improve wound healing and tissue repair

Many people are mildly zinc-deficient without realizing it—especially during winter—making supplementation even more important.

Glutathione: The Master Antioxidant

Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants in your body, responsible for:

  • Detoxifying cells

  • Reducing oxidative stress caused by illness, travel, or lack of sleep

  • Supporting liver function

  • Enhancing immune response at a cellular level

Low glutathione levels make the body more vulnerable to viral infections. IV or injectable forms help quickly replenish stores and support whole-body wellness.

Why Bend, Oregon Patients Choose Immunity IV Therapy

Our Immunity IV delivers all three nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption, making it ideal for:

  • People exposed to sick coworkers or family

  • Teachers, healthcare workers, and public-facing professionals

  • Travelers

  • Those starting to feel run-down

  • Anyone wanting extra support during peak viral season

You’ll leave feeling hydrated, supported, and fortified from the inside out.

No Time for an Immunity IV? Try Our Tri-Immune Injection

For busy schedules, our Tri-Immune shot offers the same immune-boosting trio—Vitamin C, Zinc, and Glutathione—in a quick, in-and-out injection. It’s a favorite among patients who want a fast, effective way to strengthen their immunity without blocking out time for an IV appointment.

How Often Should I Get An Immunity IV or Injection During Cough & Flu Season?

During cold and flu season, your immune system is constantly working overtime – whether you feel sick or not. That’s why many patients choose to schedule a monthly Immunity IV or Tri-Immune injection as part of their winter wellness routine. Regular support helps keep Vitamin C, Zinc, and Glutathione levels consistently elevated, giving your body the steady reinforcement it needs to defend against viruses, reduce inflammation, and stay energized. For those who want a simple, proactive plan, a monthly IV or quick injection is one of the easiest ways to stay resilient and avoid getting sidelined by seasonal illnesses.

Whether you choose an Immunity IV or the Tri-Immune injection, our goal is to help you stay energized and protected when your body needs it most. If you feel a cold coming on—or want to get ahead of one—our team is here to help you choose the right option for your lifestyle and goals.
