Whether you have an infection from a virus, a cold, or the flu, having an illness puts extra demands on the body during the recovery process. Your body needs more vitamins and hydration than usual to fight off your infection. Boosting your antioxidant levels can also help accelerate the recovery process by removing excess free radicals that contribute to cellular damage.

Hydration is an essential part of recovering from illness, but it’s not always easy to drink a lot of fluids when sick, especially if you have nausea or a sore throat. IV treatments are administered directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption and fast effect.
