Frequently Asked Questions

Are vitamin injections doctor prescribed?

Yes, all B12 injection and infusion services are prescribed by licensed and insured medical professionals

What are the benefits of vitamin injections and IV infusions?

1. Enhanced Absorption

Direct Delivery: IV and injectable vitamins bypass the digestive system, allowing nutrients to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Higher Bioavailability: Vitamins delivered intravenously have nearly 100% bioavailability, meaning your body can use almost all the nutrients provided.

2. Rapid Effect

Because nutrients enter the bloodstream directly, the effects are often felt quickly, making IV therapy an excellent option for immediate energy boosts or addressing deficiencies.

3. Customized Nutrient Delivery

IV infusions can be tailored to meet specific needs, such as boosting immunity, enhancing skin health, improving energy, or addressing chronic conditions.

4. Support for Specific Health Conditions

People with malabsorption issues, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or post-gastric surgery patients, benefit from IV nutrients, as their digestive systems might not absorb oral supplements efficiently.

IV therapy can support conditions like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, and even recovery from illness or surgery.

5. Hydration

Many IV infusions include saline or other hydrating solutions, which can improve overall hydration while delivering nutrients.

6. Boosted Energy and Immune System

Vitamins like B12 and vitamin C delivered intravenously can enhance energy levels and immune function.

7. Anti-Aging and Wellness Benefits

IV infusions often include antioxidants such as glutathione, which can combat oxidative stress, promote glowing skin, and reduce signs of aging.

8. Ideal for High Doses

IV therapy allows for the safe administration of higher doses of certain nutrients (like vitamin C) that might cause gastrointestinal distress if taken orally.

9. Quick Recovery from Dehydration or Hangovers

  • IV hydration and vitamin therapy are popular for alleviating symptoms of dehydration, hangovers, and jet lag.

10. Convenience for Active Lifestyles

  • IV therapy provides a time-efficient way to deliver nutrients, often taking 30-60 minutes, making it ideal for busy individuals.
