Immune & IV Therapy

IV therapy at Protocol Health delivers fluids, nutrients, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream to support hydration and overall wellness. An immune-support drip, such as an Immunity Boost IV Drip, is typically formulated with ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants intended to support the body's normal immune function. Formulations vary, and the right combination for you is guided by a clinical evaluation. Your provider determines whether IV therapy is an appropriate option based on your health and goals.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that the body produces naturally and that plays a role in detoxification and immune function. In an IV setting, it is sometimes included to support the body's antioxidant and cellular-defense processes, and it may be combined with other nutrients in a drip. Because individual needs differ, whether glutathione is suitable for you is determined during your consultation. Your provider will review your history and explain how it may fit into your plan.

An IV infusion is generally administered over roughly thirty to sixty minutes, depending on the formula and volume, in a comfortable clinical setting. Frequency varies widely from person to person and may range from occasional sessions to a more regular schedule based on your goals. There is no one-size-fits-all cadence, so any recommendation should come from a clinical evaluation rather than a fixed rule. Your provider will help determine a schedule that is appropriate for you.

When administered by trained clinicians, IV therapy is generally well tolerated, but like any medical service it carries some risk. Possible side effects can include mild discomfort, warmth, redness, or bruising at the insertion site, and some people feel briefly queasy during or after an infusion. Sharing your full medical history and any allergies helps your care team reduce risk and tailor the approach. Your provider determines whether IV therapy is safe and appropriate for you.

IV therapy may be considered for adults seeking hydration, nutrient, or immune support, but candidacy always depends on an individual health assessment. Certain conditions, allergies, kidney or heart concerns, or pregnancy may make IV therapy inappropriate, which is why a clinical review comes first. This is educational information and not a substitute for a personalized evaluation. Your provider will confirm whether IV therapy is a suitable option for your situation.

IV drips at Protocol Health are administered in person at our Scarsdale, New York clinic, since infusions require clinical oversight and monitoring. Telehealth patients across the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and California can start with a virtual consultation to discuss goals, but the drip itself is scheduled on-site. This lets you review your options and eligibility before booking an in-person visit. Your provider will confirm whether IV therapy is an appropriate option for you.
