Overview

Vitamin Intramuscular Injections can form an integral part of enhancing your health & protecting your wellbeing.
Intramuscular vitamin injections or vitamin shots, are a method of delivering vitamins directly into the muscle tissue using a syringe and needle. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for quicker and more efficient absorption of the vitamins into the bloodstream.
Intramuscular injections not only result in a more uniform absorption of the Vitamin, research shows intramuscular injection methods can also create between 30%-60% greater absorption of the Vitamin, with the benefit of rapid onset of the action, compared to that of the oral and the subcutaneous routes.

Introduction

Often named the “the sunshine vitamin” (as the body produces it after sun exposure) Vitamin D has long been known to help build strong bones by increasing the body’s absorption of two essential nutrients – calcium and phosphorous. It is now widely recognised that sufficient levels have a much broader range of benefits for the body, from increased energy levels to facilitating immune system function. Deficiencies in Vitamin D have been found to contribute to other illnesses.
