Low Immunity & Frequent Infections in Goa: Why It Keeps Happening

Frequent infections and low immunity are common among residents of Mapusa, Panaji, Porvorim, and North Goa. Dr. Milind Colvalcar explains why immunity drops and how medically supervised IV Immunity Boost therapy supports recovery.

If you feel like you’re:

  • Catching colds repeatedly
  • Taking longer to recover
  • Falling sick after travel or stress
  • “Never fully bouncing back”

…it’s not just seasonal.

At Glam Gyno, we repeatedly see these low-immunity patterns among patients from Mapusa, Assagoa, Vagator, Anjuna, Porvorim, Panaji, and coastal North Goa — often overlapping with chronic stress and burnout, persistent dehydration despite adequate water intake, and incomplete recovery — rather than any single vitamin deficiency.

Why Immunity Drops Faster in Goa

Living in Goa places unique demands on the body:

  • Heat & humidity → fluid and electrolyte loss, which explains why many people remain dehydrated even after drinking adequate water — weakening immune resilience over time.
  • Travel exposure → pathogen load
  • Chronic stress → immune suppression and delayed recovery, a pattern frequently seen alongside stress, brain fog, and burnout in working professionals and caregivers.
  • Poor sleep → immune dysregulation
  • Alcohol & irregular meals → nutrient depletion

Medical research consistently shows that chronic stress combined with micronutrient depletion significantly reduces immune response efficiency.

Why Diet and Supplements Often Fail During Repeated Infections

Stress and Illness Reduce Nutrient Absorption

When immunity is already low:

  • Gut absorption is compromised
  • Oral supplements may deliver <40% effectiveness

Why Timing and Delivery Method Matter for Immunity

This is where IV Vitamin Drip Therapy in Goa becomes clinically relevant. By bypassing digestion and delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy allows faster and more reliable immune replenishment — particularly when stress, illness, or gut absorption issues limit the effectiveness of oral supplements.

Doctor’s Clinical Insight on Recurrent Infections

“Repeated infections are rarely about ‘weak immunity’. They’re about depleted immunity. IV therapy allows us to correct this efficiently and safely under medical supervision.”
Dr. Milind Colvalcar, Glam Gyno, Mapusa

Who Commonly Benefits from Immunity IV Therapy

  • People with recurrent colds
  • Women under chronic stress
  • Frequent travellers
  • Post-illness recovery patients
  • Individuals with persistent fatigue and low resistance, especially when tiredness continues despite adequate sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions – Immunity & IV Drip Therapy

Is IV Immunity Boost therapy safe?

When administered under medical supervision, IV Immunity Boost therapy is generally safe and well tolerated. At Glam Gyno, all IV drips are prescribed only after a consultation and clinical assessment by Dr. Milind Colvalcar to ensure suitability and safety.

How quickly does an Immunity IV Drip work?

Some individuals notice improvements in energy levels and recovery within 24–48 hours. Immune-related benefits may continue to develop over the following days as nutrient levels normalise. Results vary depending on individual health status.

How often should I take an Immunity IV Drip?

Frequency depends on your overall health, immune stress, travel exposure, and recovery needs. Some patients benefit from a single drip during illness or recovery, while others may opt for periodic support during high-stress or travel-heavy periods. This is decided after medical consultation.

Is IV therapy better than oral immunity supplements?

IV therapy delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This allows for significantly higher absorption compared to oral supplements, particularly during illness, stress, or when gut absorption is compromised.

Who should avoid Immunity IV Therapy?

IV Immunity Therapy may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as severe kidney disease or specific allergies. This is why a doctor consultation is mandatory before treatment at Glam Gyno.

Can IV Immunity Drips prevent future infections?

No therapy can guarantee prevention of infections. When used appropriately, IV Immunity Drips may help support immune function, improve recovery time, and enhance resilience by addressing underlying nutrient depletion — alongside standard medical care and healthy lifestyle practices.

When to Seek Medical Evaluation

If infections are:

  • Recurrent
  • Slow to resolve
  • Affecting daily life

…it’s time for assessment.
