Super Immunity is Epical HealthMed’s most comprehensive immune-support IV infusion—combining ultra-high-dose vitamin C, zinc, selenium, glutathione, a full B-complex, and immune-activating amino acids (arginine, glutamine) to produce a powerful, multi-layered immune response enhancement. Designed for patients who need maximum immune support—post-cancer treatment, chronic illness, severe immunodeficiency states, or those experiencing frequent recurrent infections—Super Immunity goes beyond the standard Defender drip.
When standard immune support isn't enough
Some patients face immune challenges that go beyond what monthly Defender sessions can address: post-chemotherapy patients whose white blood cell counts are recovering; patients with HIV or other immunodeficiency conditions seeking adjunctive nutritional support; individuals who get sick 6–10 times per year despite doing everything right; and those recovering from severe viral infections like COVID-19, Epstein-Barr virus, or prolonged influenza.
Clinical applications for Super Immunity
- Post-chemotherapy recovery: restore micronutrient levels depleted by cytotoxic treatment and support white blood cell recovery
- Recurrent infections: break the cycle of frequent URI, sinusitis, or opportunistic infections by fully restoring immune reserve
- Adjunct in chronic viral illness: EBV reactivation, CMV, herpes simplex, and other persistent viral infections managed with adjunctive high-dose vitamin C and zinc
- Post-surgical immune support: surgery depletes glutamine and vitamin C rapidly; replenishment reduces post-surgical infection risk
- Severe stress-induced immune suppression: prolonged psychological stress causes clinically significant immunosuppression; Super Immunity restores the depleted cofactors

Monitoring and safety
G6PD screening is mandatory before ultra-high-dose vitamin C. Renal function should be assessed as vitamin C at high doses increases urinary oxalate. Calcium gluconate is included to counterbalance the calcium-shifting effects of high-dose vitamin C. All patients are monitored during the infusion with vital sign checks.
Seasonal planning and bundle structure
Higher-strength immunity pages need stronger guardrails around eligibility, then clear options for structured scheduling when the treatment is appropriate.
Educational content only. This page does not replace individualized medical advice. Always consult your clinician for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
- High-strength package framing: explain that this is a more advanced immune-support option than routine maintenance drips
- Seasonal recommendations: highlight periods such as peak travel months, winter illness waves, or post-illness recovery
- Bundle pricing: present series-based or bundled pricing options where the clinic wants to encourage a full protocol
- Clinical review: keep a clinician note or screening step visible before repeat booking is approved

Frequently Asked Questions
Can high-dose vitamin C treat cancer?
High-dose IV vitamin C is an adjunctive integrative oncology therapy studied in conjunction with conventional cancer treatment—not as a standalone cancer cure. Research shows it may improve quality of life, reduce chemotherapy side effects, and at very high doses (>50g) may selectively harm cancer cells. It should be used alongside, never instead of, conventional oncological care.
Is this safe for someone currently undergoing chemotherapy?
IV vitamin C is generally safe alongside most chemotherapy regimens and may reduce treatment-associated toxicity. However, specific agents (particularly certain platinum-based drugs) may have interactions. We require oncology team approval and a review of your specific chemotherapy protocol before administering Super Immunity during active treatment.
How long does a G6PD test take?
Results typically return within 24–48 hours from a standard blood draw. If you are planning a Super Immunity session, we recommend having the test done at the same visit as your initial consultation so it’s ready for your first infusion appointment.
How often should someone with recurrent infections get Super Immunity?
An initial intensive protocol of weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks is most effective for breaking cycles of recurrent infection. After the initial series, monthly maintenance combined with addressing underlying immune impairment (nutritional deficiency, sleep, stress) maintains the benefit.
Can I get Super Immunity if I'm HIV positive?
IV nutritional therapy, including high-dose vitamin C and glutathione, is a recognised adjunctive approach in HIV management—supporting immune cell nutrition and reducing oxidative stress that accelerates immune decline. We require coordination with your infectious disease or primary care provider and review of your current antiretroviral regimen.
Is the arginine in Super Immunity safe for people with herpes simplex?
This is an important clinical consideration. High-dose arginine can theoretically promote herpes simplex replication, as the virus uses arginine for DNA synthesis. We balance arginine with lysine in the formulation and can adjust the ratio based on your herpes history. Patients with frequent HSV outbreaks should disclose this during intake.
Will Super Immunity interact with my immunosuppressive medication?
Immunosuppressive medications (steroids, tacrolimus, mycophenolate, etc.) are used to prevent autoimmune damage or organ rejection. High-dose vitamin C and immune-activating nutrients could theoretically increase immune activity in ways that conflict with these medications. Super Immunity is not appropriate for patients on immunosuppressive therapy without explicit approval from the prescribing specialist.
What symptoms suggest I might need Super Immunity rather than Defender?
Consider Super Immunity if you: get sick more than 5 times per year; are recovering from serious illness, surgery, or chemotherapy; have a diagnosed immune deficiency condition; experience prolonged (>3 weeks) recovery from routine colds or flu; or have been evaluated for low white blood cell counts. Defender is appropriate for healthy adults with normal immune function seeking general support.
