The Driip Resilience Bundle

Now, more than ever, it’s vital that we receive enough immunity-supporting nutrients. Between seasonal colds, cases of flu, and COVID-19, there are plenty of nasty pathogens that we need to protect ourselves from. Typically, we would receive all the nutrients we need from the foods we eat. However, our soil is the most depleted of vital minerals and nutrients than it has ever been, leading to low availability of nutrients in our current food supply. You have to eat eight oranges today to get the same vitamin and mineral content of an orange in the 1920s.

Unfortunately, finding the right immunity supplements can be a challenge. However, Driip IV gives you everything you need in one boosting bundle. In one great offer, we provide an Immune Support drip, a 1,000mg glutathione boost, extra vitamins (B5 and B6) for stress support, a 10,000mg vitamin C boost, and a 10,000 IU vitamin D injection. Keep reading to learn more about our resilience bundle and what it can do for your immunity!

Immune Support Drip

Our immune support drip contains B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6), calcium, glutathione, magnesium, methyl B12, selenium, vitamin C, and zinc. All these nutrients support optimal immune function. Nutrients like glutathione play a role in the innate immune system, while magnesium, selenium, and vitamin C play roles in both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Meanwhile, B vitamins help reduce stress and promote the creation of mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters. The less stressed you are, the more effective your immune system will fight off pathogens and infections. Overall, the immune support drip is a great tool to help keep yourself healthy, but Driip doesn’t stop there. We want you to get the most out of the combination of these nutrients, so we’ve added more to make an even more effective immunity treatment.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is an antioxidant that helps regulate innate immunity. The innate immunity system is the first line of immune defense against pathogens before adaptive immunity (antibodies, T cell responses). Glutathione helps trigger the inflammatory response, which involves the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a powerful bactericidal mechanism, and soluble mediators whose role is to amplify the host response by recruiting and activating immune system cells.

Many pathological conditions are associated with decreased glutathione levels. There are several reasons for low glutathione levels, including oxidative stress and poor nutrition.

As much as glutathione is essential in triggering an inflammatory response, it is also crucial to the first step of adaptive immunity. This step consists of the antigen presentation by antigen-presenting cells. Cell-mediated immunity requires that protein antigen be degraded, and one of the first steps in antigen-degradation requires glutathione. Overall, studies show that low glutathione levels are typical when occurring with oxidative stress and that damage to the body is common when glutathione is low while the body is attempting to fight off pathogens.

Why Do We Need Vitamin B5 and B6?

Vitamin B5 helps regulate your production of the stress hormone cortisol when you’re under chronic stress. When present in adequate amounts, vitamin B5 keeps your adrenal glands functioning properly. If you’re deficient in vitamin B5, your adrenal glands have difficulty maintaining appropriate cortisol and adrenaline levels, making it challenging for your body to recover from the effects of said stress.

The body utilizes vitamin B6 to synthesize the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline. The body uses more vitamin B6 to create stress hormones in reaction to physical, emotional, chemical stressors. If you’re stressed all the time, eventually, your body will have less vitamin B6 available to use for other bodily processes, like the formation of vital, mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters, like GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. Australian researchers found that individuals taking a B-complex vitamin were better able to cope with workplace stress, further suggesting that B vitamins help the body manage stress, thus, allowing the body’s immune system to focus on what matters.

How Does Vitamin C Help the Immune System?

Like glutathione, vitamin C is a vital antioxidant. It contributes to proper immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. It supports the epithelial barrier function against pathogens and promotes the oxidant scavenging activity of the skin, potentially protecting the body against environmental oxidative stress. Ultimately, vitamin C enhances microbial killing.

Studies show that vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections. Infections also seem to dramatically impact vitamin C levels, lowering them due to enhanced inflammation and metabolic requirements.

While vitamin C helps the immune system as an antioxidant, research suggests that its action as a cofactor for numerous biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes plays a crucial role in its immune-regulating effects. Overall, research shows that vitamin C is vital for the immune system to launch and maintain an adequate response against pathogens while simultaneously avoiding damage to the human body.

Vitamin D: The Sunshine Vitamin

Despite its name, vitamin D isn’t a vitamin but rather a hormone. A vitamin is an essential nutrient that the body needs but doesn’t produce. So, we have to obtain things like vitamin C and B vitamins from our food, supplements, or nutrient IV drips. However, our bodies can synthesize or make vitamin D. Often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” our bodies create vitamin D when UVB rays from the sun hit our skin. When the rays hit your skin, they convert a protein called 7-DHC into vitamin D3. Enzymes then process vitamin D3 in the liver and kidney, and it becomes activated. Then it starts doing what it’s supposed to do, helping the body’s multiple systems function.

Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory effects, and it increases immune cell production. Vitamin D deficiency is linked to several illnesses and disorders, like specific cancers as well as autoimmune and cognitive disorders. In research, vitamin D supplements show protective effects against acute respiratory infections like common colds and the flu. Data also shows that a broad spectrum of tissue cells, including immune cells, express vitamin D metabolizing enzymes, which allows the native circulating forms of vitamin D to convert to its active form, calcitriol. Researchers determined that this process is essential for normal immune function. Thus, insufficient vitamin D levels may cause dysregulation of immune responses.
