What is Intralipid Serum Therapy?
Intravenous lipid therapy, also known as intralipid serum therapy, is an innovative method used to support the immune system during in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures.
The treatment is based on administering a milky white serum containing soy protein, fatty acids, egg phospholipids, and glycerin intravenously to the expectant mother.
Scientific research indicates that in some women, factors such as the immune system rejecting the embryo are behind unsuccessful IVF attempts.
Intralipid serum regulates this immune balance, making it easier for the embryo to implant in the uterus and increasing the chances of pregnancy.

How is intravenous lipid therapy administered?
The serum used during treatment is a lipid emulsion rich in precious oils.
The application process proceeds in the following steps:
- An intravenous line is inserted on the first day of IVF treatment.
- The prepared intralipid serum is administered to the expectant mother in a specific dose.
- Treatment is continued at regular intervals until the embryo implants in the uterus and the baby’s heartbeat can be detected.
This procedure helps balance the immune system and prevents the risk of embryo rejection.
Who is a suitable candidate for Intravenous Lipid Therapy?
This method is generally applied in the following situations:
- Pregnant women with weakened immune systems,
- Women who undergo IVF treatment at an advanced age,
- Couples who have previously experienced unsuccessful IVF attempts,
- Patients with a history of recurrent miscarriages.
💡 FertiJin IVF Center applies a personalized serum protocol to each patient by thoroughly analyzing their immune and hormonal status.
Who should not receive intravenous lipid therapy?
Intralipid treatment is quite safe, but it should not be used in the following cases:
- People with soy allergies,
- Those with egg protein allergy,
- Individuals with active infection or severe liver disease.
In such cases, alternative immune support methods are preferred.

The Role of Serum Therapy in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Success
In some cases, the immune system may perceive the embryo as “foreign.”
Intralipid serum treatment counteracts this effect, preventing embryo rejection.
This allows for:
- Embryo implantation rate increases,
- Pregnancy losses decrease,
- The success rate of IVF increases.
At FertiJin IVF Center, serum therapy is usually applied in conjunction with other supportive methods (e.g., Lymphocyte Vaccine Therapy, PRP applications, Laser Budding, etc.).
