Intralipid Infusions

What Are Intralipid Infusions?

Intralipid infusions are sterile, fat-based emulsions designed to provide essential fatty acids and calories, commonly used to support patients with specific nutritional or immune needs. These infusions help maintain energy levels and bolster immune function for individuals with a variety of conditions.

Intralipids for Fertility Support

How Intralipid Infusions May Aid Fertility Treatments

Intralipid infusions have become a supportive therapy in fertility care, especially for patients with autoimmune-related fertility challenges. Studies suggest that intralipids can play a role in:

Enhancing Implantation Success: Intralipids may help prevent immune system responses that could otherwise interfere with embryo implantation.
Supporting Patients with Elevated NK Cells: Some fertility patients have elevated natural killer (NK) cells, which may hinder embryo implantation. Intralipids may help modulate these cells, promoting a healthier environment for pregnancy.
Reducing the Risk of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: For patients who have experienced multiple miscarriages related to immune factors, intralipid therapy offers a potential avenue to support ongoing pregnancy.

Intralipid infusions are often recommended alongside other fertility treatments such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI). Please consult with your fertility specialist to see if intralipid therapy might complement your treatment plan.

Other Uses of Intralipid Infusions

Intralipids offer a range of supportive benefits, and our experienced team is here to discuss how this therapy might fit your unique health journey. Please consult with your provider to determine if intralipid therapy is suitable for you.

Supporting Immune Health and Managing Autoimmune Conditions

Intralipid therapy may be beneficial for patients with immune system dysregulation or autoimmune diseases. Research suggests that intralipids can help reduce inflammation, modulate immune response, and provide symptom relief in conditions where the immune system is overactive, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Nutrition Support in Critical and Chronic Care

Intralipids are also widely used in critical care settings for patients who require supplemental nutrition. For those who cannot take in sufficient calories through diet alone due to chronic illness, surgery recovery, or severe infection, intralipid infusions deliver essential fats and calories directly, helping maintain energy and prevent malnutrition.

Potential Benefits in Neurological Conditions

Emerging research is exploring how intralipids may support neurological health in certain conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, where fatty acids may help in managing inflammation and supporting brain health. Although more research is ongoing, intralipids may one day offer therapeutic support in select neurological conditions.
