The Immune Support Infusion at Integra Essenza combines vitamin C, zinc, trace minerals and electrolytes in a balanced fluid base, formulated by a physician after assessment. It is offered as immune wellness support and is not a treatment or preventive measure for any infection or illness. ₱7,000 per session, administered in-clinic.
It won’t say this protects you from getting sick, strengthens your immune system, or defends against infection. Those are the usual claims in this category. We’re not permitted to make them, and they’d also overstate what’s known.
What this is: a physician-formulated infusion combining vitamin C, zinc, trace minerals and electrolytes, given in-clinic over roughly 60 minutes. Zinc and vitamin C are both involved in normal immune function, which is nutritional biochemistry rather than a claim about you. Whether infusing them changes anything for a specific well-nourished adult is a harder question, and a physician here will give you their read at assessment.
This formulation makes more sense when the assessment finds something: documented low intake, an absorption problem, or a period of repeated illness with a plausible nutritional component. It makes less sense as a monthly insurance policy against catching things.
1. Assessment. Consultation, current labs, medication and supplement list. Zinc status is worth checking and often isn’t.
2. Formulation. Composition and dose set for you, or a recommendation that this isn’t the appropriate service.
3. The session. About 60 minutes in-clinic, physician-supervised, with monitoring.
4. Written findings. Including, where relevant, what was ruled out.

| Selenium and trace minerals | As indicated by assessment |
| Electrolytes | As indicated by assessment |
Zinc is the component most likely to cause a reaction, usually nausea or a metallic taste, and it’s given slowly for that reason. Repeated high-dose zinc over time can affect copper status, which is one reason cadence is reviewed rather than left open.
Otherwise: cannula-site irritation, occasional light-headedness, and uncommon allergic reactions.
₱7,000 per session, about 60 minutes plus monitoring. Includes physician supervision, preparation, administration and monitoring. Assessment and lab work separate.
Vitamin C and zinc both have established roles in normal immune function. What doesn’t follow is that infusing them into a well-nourished adult changes how often that adult gets sick, and the published evidence for that specific proposition is weak.
The clinical case is strongest where the assessment finds an actual gap, which is what the assessment is looking for.

No, and we’re not able to suggest it might. Nothing here is offered to prevent illness or infection.
Worth raising at assessment. For a well-nourished adult, sleep and hand hygiene will often do more.
Not with an active infection. That needs a doctor treating the infection.
Nausea or a metallic taste from zinc if infused quickly, cannula-site irritation, and occasional light-headedness. Repeated high-dose zinc can affect copper status over time.
Different formulation and a different dose of ascorbate, and the high-dose version requires G6PD screening first.
More components and a longer session. If the gap doesn’t look justified to you, raise it at assessment and ask whether a simpler formulation would do.
Yes, including renal function.
