Is An IV Immune Boost Worth It?
We do lots of different things to make sure we do not get sick. Getting sick is the worst. It ruins all of our best plans. So we do stuff like try to eat the right foods or chew on gummy vitamins or participate in whatever homemade remedies we have heard might do the right trick. (Grandma’s homemade chicken soup, anyone?)
If you’re looking for a little bit more serious way of boosting your immune system, maybe you might want to consider receiving an IV immune booster treatment.
Whether you’ve heard of IV immune boost therapy or not, you might be finding yourself wondering: is it worth it? Let’s talk about it.
IV immune boost treatments can be received at the Los Angeles-based RWA Center in Beverly Hills.
First, you make an appointment with us and come in to speak with one of our medical professionals. They will talk to you about the IV immune boost treatment and figure out what sort of treatment will work best for you and your current body’s situation. After you finish with our consultation and after we come up with a treatment plan, we can get you set up and going with an IV immune booster therapy session.
During an IV immune boost treatment, you have fluids delivered in a sterile and safe saline solution right into you. This is the benefit of using an IV. When you take those vitamin gummies or any similar type of digestive vitamin solution, all the benefits of those vitamins must first pass through your digestive system. In the process, you may lose many of the benefits or your body may not absorb everything.
The IV deposits the immunity boosting benefits directly to your system, bypassing the pitfalls of the digestive system.
The good news about IV therapy, too, is that most patients do not find it to be too painful or uncomfortable. It is a fairly simple procedure that lots of people go through every day. You may feel a little pinch when the catheter is first inserted. The actual infusion of immune boosters, though, is not likely to cause you a whole lot of discomfort at all.
So is an IV immune booster worth it? Very likely! The effects of the therapy should be felt near immediately. Plus, if you keep coming back and getting more therapy sessions, your immune system is going to be strengthened. And a stronger immune system will help you fight off illness, and possibly get sick less often. And if you do end up getting sick, a strengthened immune system might help fight off those sicknesses faster than you normally would.
We’d argue that is worth it. We could all use a stronger immune system. If that sounds good to you, give us a call at (310) 407-0542 and we let you know more.

A NAD+ IV infusion typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration can vary depending on the dosage and the individual’s tolerance to the infusion rate. Some people may prefer a slower infusion to minimize potential side effects like nausea or discomfort, which can extend the session time. It’s usually administered in a medical or wellness clinic under professional supervision.
Experiences during a NAD+ IV infusion can vary from person to person. Some people report feeling a warming sensation or slight pressure at the infusion site. Others may experience mild discomfort, like nausea, headaches, or a sense of tightness in the chest, especially if the infusion rate is too fast. The effects can differ based on individual sensitivity and the rate of the infusion.
Each peptide is different, with dosages that can vary from person to person. In general, a vial of any peptide can last about 3-4 weeks. During the consultation, our provider will address dosing and how long the specific peptide will last for you.
No, our providers will address all your questions and concerns with you before your first appointment. Please eat and drink as normal.
In Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) with ozone therapy, a “pass” refers to the process of drawing a certain amount of blood from the patient, infusing it with a precise concentration of ozone gas, and then reinfusing the ozonated blood back into the patient’s body. Each pass represents one complete cycle of this process. In the context of multi-pass ozone therapy, multiple passes (or cycles) are performed during a single session to increase the therapeutic effects. For example, in a 10-pass ozone therapy, the process of drawing blood, ozonating it, and reinfusing it is repeated ten times. This technique is often used to enhance the oxygenation of blood, boost the immune system, and support overall healing. The number of passes used can vary based on the specific treatment goals and the patient’s condition.
The number of ozone passes you can do during a Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) session typically depends on your health status, treatment goals, and the protocol our provider will recommend during your initial visit. In your first visit, you can have 1, 2 or 3 passes of ozone therapy.
To receive more than 3 passes, our provider will have the G6PD test performed by a blood test. The results will indicate whether your G6PD enzyme activity is within the normal range, or if you have a deficiency.
The decision on the number of passes should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, who will consider your individual needs and how your body responds to the therapy. Some patients may gradually increase the number of passes over time as their tolerance improves.
The amount of ozone administered in each pass during ozone therapy can vary depending on the specific treatment protocol and the patient’s needs. Generally, approximately 14,000μg of ozone is administered in each pass.
Each pass of ozone can take approximately 7-10 minutes, this varies from person to person.
A G6PD test measures the activity of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for the proper functioning of red blood cells, helping them to protect against oxidative damage. People with G6PD deficiency have lower levels of this enzyme, which can lead to the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) when they are exposed to certain triggers, such as certain foods, medications, or infections.The G6PD test is particularly important before undergoing treatments like ozone therapy or high-dose vitamin C therapy. These treatments can increase oxidative stress, which may be harmful to individuals with G6PD deficiency, potentially leading to hemolytic anemia.
