Is IV Therapy the Key to Unlocking Better Winter Wellness?

Winter winds can sap your energy and your spirits. They send you indoors into overheated rooms filled with lots of other chilled folks … and the viruses and bacteria they carry. The holidays also bring you in contact with family and friends you haven’t seen for a while who give you unexpected gifts, including pathogens your immune system hasn’t encountered.

It’s no wonder why so many people come down with one thing or another in the winter months. Up to  20% of Americans contract the flu, and it seems that almost everyone gets at least one cold. 

Ironically, flu season coincides with some of the busiest and what should be the happiest times. Holiday shopping, parties, traveling, and get-togethers are fun but stressful. The last thing you need is to be engaged in a full-on battle with the latest variation of COVID, one of 200 cold viruses, or the innumerable bacteria that get passed around.

At Advanced Medical Care in Queens and Brooklyn, New York, our experienced providers offer a unique remedy to the emotional and immune stressors you must weather during winter: intravenous vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants delivered at an in-office IV infusion therapy session.

Could IV therapy be the key to unlock better winter wellness for you and your loved ones? Following is a brief explanation of the benefits of our standard IV infusions as well as our proprietary NEUROVITA-X formula.

It’s harder to hydrate in winter

Summer’s sun makes grabbing your water bottle an easy choice. You don’t even have to exercise to sweat. Just stepping out into a muggy New York City morning has you dripping.

Winter’s a different story. Your main goal isn’t to cool down; it’s to fend off the cold and wind by snuggling indoors and staying as warm as possible. An occasional cup of hot tea or cocoa isn’t enough to match the amount of water and other healthy fluids you drink in warmer weather.

Men need about 15.5 cups of healthy fluids per day and women need about 11.5 cups. By the time you feel thirsty, your body’s already dehydrated. Without sufficient hydration, your body can’t flush out toxins and beat down the invaders that knock at your cell’s doors.

One benefit of IV therapy is that it instantly hydrates your body, giving your brain and other organs the fluids they need to function optimally. You notice the difference immediately in your skin, too, which appears healthy and robust right after your treatment.

You need extra vitamins and minerals

When scientists figured out how to grow more food more quickly, they often did so at the expense of the food’s — and the soil’s — nutritional value. That’s why you can still get sick even if you eat healthy foods. In fact, no matter how vitamin- and mineral-rich your diet is, you could still be deficient in key nutrients.

Supplements are great, but they must pass through your digestive system, where they’re partially depleted. In contrast, the minerals and vitamins in an IV drip go straight into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract entirely. The nutrients get to your cells immediately, allowing them to produce the energy you need to brave winter’s stresses.

You need extra antioxidants

The added stress of winter and the assault of viruses and bacteria that come with it leaves your immune system depleted. An IV drip provides your body with powerful antioxidants like glutathione, which helps your body function at its best and even improves sleep. Deep sleep is necessary for your body to fully repair itself and fend off invaders.

We customize your IV drip depending on your needs. You may benefit from:

• Myer’s cocktail: the original IV drip, filled with B vitamins
• Glutathione: the master antioxidant
• Lipo-Lino Mix IV: helps with fat-burning and energy creation
• NEUROVITA-X: great for recovery from illness or workouts

Some of our IV drips, such as NEUROVITA-X, also help your body build more health- and life-preserving muscle mass. They’re great to boost your immune system, but also to boost your athletic capacity.
