What is Defend IV Therapy?

Defend is a targeted blend of vitamin C, B-complex, and zinc in hydrating fluids. It’s a smart pick for high-exposure weeks, seasonal flares, or the “I can’t get sick right now” window when you need energy and immune support to hold steady.

What is Defend Plus?

Defend Plus adds glutathione, the body’s workhorse antioxidant, for extra support during heavy stress or recovery. Good when you want immune backing and redox balance in the same visit.

Who It Helps

  • Frequent flyers, healthcare workers, teachers, parents in germ-heavy seasons
  • Post-viral “draggy” days
  • Allergy-prone weeks with low stamina

What You Might Notice

  • Calmer allergy reactivity
  • A steadier energy curve
  • Quicker rebound after long days or travel

Add-Ons & Injections

Tune the drip to your week. Popular options:

  • Glutathione IV push, vitamin C, B-complex, magnesium, taurine, amino acids, or extra saline (250–1000 cc).
  • IM injections: B12, Vitamin D, lipotropic.
  • Comfort upgrade: BioMat heat during your drip; IV packages often include a free BioMat upgrade when available.

Candidates & Safety

A good fit for most healthy adults looking for immune and allergy support. We review your health history first and adjust if you’ve had kidney concerns, complex allergies, or active infection. Minor vein irritation or bruising can happen; we set the rate for comfort.
