Lifestyle Hydration Drip
Nutrient and fluid support while you ride out a cold or flu
When a cold or flu has flattened you, appetite and fluid intake are usually the first things to go. Flu Fighter gives your body fluids, vitamins and minerals while you rest — support during the illness, not a treatment for it.
Featured ingredients
At a glance
A plain description of what is in the bag and what happens while you are here.
Fever, poor intake and reduced appetite add up quickly. Fluid replacement is the most immediately useful thing an IV can offer during illness.
Vitamin C is actively concentrated in neutrophils and lymphocytes and supports epithelial barrier function and oxidant scavenging.
Zinc is a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes and is required for protein and DNA synthesis, cell division and immune cell development.
Reclined, warm, and looked after by a nurse.
The science
We would rather tell you where the evidence is strong, where it is thin, and where it simply does not exist yet.
Cochrane's review of vitamin C and the common cold found regular intake does not prevent colds in the general population but modestly shortens duration — about 8% in adults. Importantly, trials that started vitamin C after symptoms began showed no consistent effect. We would rather set that expectation clearly.
A 2024 Cochrane review found zinc may shorten cold symptom duration by roughly two days but is ineffective for prevention, and rated the certainty of that evidence low to very low.
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems including ATP metabolism and neuromuscular function. Illness-related poor intake and fluid losses make repletion reasonable.
No IV drip treats influenza. Antivirals have a narrow treatment window and require a prescriber. If you have high fever, shortness of breath or chest pain, you need medical evaluation — not a drip.
Who commonly considers this: Adults feeling run down during a seasonal respiratory illness who want hydration and nutrient support while they recover.
