Cutting Short the Common Cold

Updated: September 25, 2026 · Reviewed by Taylor J. Graber, MD

Whether it's a summer cold or the sniffles that show up when the weather cools off, the common cold is hard to avoid. Sooner or later, most of us end up reaching for tissues and a bowl of soup.

If you're feeling under the weather, our Immunity Booster IV is designed to support your body while you recover. It includes vitamin C, zinc, glutathione, B-complex and vitamin B-12 in a bag of IV fluid.

Zinc may help support a shorter, milder course of illness for some people, though it isn't a cure: a cold still needs to run its course. The IV fluid helps with dehydration, and the B vitamins may help with low energy while you recover.

If you also have body aches, a fever or a headache, the ASAP Immune Recovery IV adds Toradol, an anti-inflammatory, to the same blend.
