Injectable Vitamins: Purpose, benefits, and effectiveness

May 30. 2022

Imagine this scenario: your daily schedule allows you to exercise every day and get the right amount of all the essential nutrients and vitamins from your healthy and balanced diet, which results in you being fit and energized at all times.

While this sounds pretty perfect, we’ll probably agree that it would be ideal if you could get your daily schedule out of the equation. Most of us either hide behind it or don’t have the time and energy to incorporate a healthy lifestyle into our busy schedules. As a result, our body suffers significantly, leaving us exhausted, unsatisfied with our bodies, and sometimes even sick. Thankfully, we can add one more item to our scenario and make it picture-perfect: injectable vitamins.

What are injectable vitamins?

We’re all familiar with the importance of vitamins for our overall health. Still, most people are not so familiar with their proper use – how, when, and how much you should take. We typically get them through food or supplements, but intravenous is another excellent way to get vitamins in your system. This concept is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, and that’s not a coincidence.

To begin with, oral vitamin supplements can significantly vary in their effectiveness. Questions such as how many vitamin pills you should take, whether you should take them with or without food, and what time of the day is the most suitable are legitimate because all these factors determine how well the vitamins absorb in your body.
On the other hand, getting your vitamins intravenously means they go straight to your bloodstream, skipping your digestive system. That means the vitamins are pushed directly into your cells, where they can be fully and effectively utilized. Still, it’s essential to get them by a certified physician, who will be able to determine the exact dose you need.

Why should you take vitamins intravenously?

Now that we’ve covered the main benefit of taking injectable vitamins, let’s take a better look into other advantages of this method:

Personalized formulas

As mentioned earlier, the efficiency of vitamins depends on many factors. With that in mind, getting a thorough health check before taking injectable vitamins can ensure you get the right vitamins in the right amounts and increase their absorbency.

More effectiveness

You’ll have to take vitamin pills daily to make them effective; on the other hand, vitamin shots require one visit to the office or clinic once a week or so. Another bonus is that you can expect to see the results far more quickly than if you opted for pills since your body absorbs the vitamins immediately.

Medical supervision

Instead of staring at an endless amount of different vitamins and supplements in the drugstore and wondering what you should get, you can find an experienced and certified physician, and rest assured knowing that you’re getting the best possible results.

More economical

This one may come obviously after the previous benefit. If it’s not, we’ll break it down here: while, at first glance, it appears that over-the-counter pills are more economical, this doesn’t mean you’ll get the results you wanted in a short amount of time. On the other hand, choosing injectable vitamins with a slightly higher price tag will ensure you get 100% absorbency in no time. That means that vitamins you get intravenously are far more economical in the long run.

Which injectable vitamins can you get?

Here comes the part you’ve probably been interested in from the start: which vitamin shots can you get? Well, to put it simply, you can get any vitamin intravenously. Still, let’s first divide them into two groups: water-soluble and fat-soluble.

• Water-soluble vitamins, for example, include vitamin B complex and Vitamin C. Instead of requiring stomach acids to break them down; these vitamins get picked up by active transports, such as protein, which eventually deliver them into your bloodstream. When you take them orally, it’s recommended you get them each day since a significant amount of the initial vitamins gets lost through digesting, heating, etc.
  Vitamin B shots include several vitamins, so they often come as Vitamin B complex shots. Such shots boost your red blood cell growth and proper digestion, improve your cardiovascular health and aid the production of hormones. Still, the most prominent shots consist of vitamin B12 and other nutrients found in our specially formulated Lipo Ignite® injections. Besides Vitamin B12, these shots also contain methionine, inositol, and choline. The results you can expect from these shots include continual energy boost, improved digestion, healthier hair, and nails, as well as an improvement in your mood.
  Vitamin C is well-known for its positive effect on your immune system. Still, it also carries several other benefits, such as antioxidant and antihistamine effects, stimulating collagen production, and reducing toxicity levels in your body. Additionally, if you were looking for a few hCG diet supplements, you’ll be glad to know that vitamin C is a safe choice.
• Fat-soluble vitamins are stable through the process of heating. When taken orally, these vitamins are paired with fats so they can move through the intestinal walls and are broken down with the help of stomach acids. They’re then stored in the body until needed, so you wouldn’t have to take them daily. Still, taken intravenously, they skip the digestive system and go straight to the bloodstream. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins such as A, D, E, and K.

Things to consider before taking injectable vitamins

As with any other IV therapy, taking things seriously should be your first step. We can’t stress the importance of finding a professional, experienced and registered physician who will make sure to do a thorough medical check with you before going any step further. That will ensure you get the correct type of shot and the suitable dose, leading to the best possible absorbency and results.

Vitamin deficiencies

More often than not, you’ll find injection therapies that include a mix of specific vitamins and minerals. Such therapies are specifically formulated to target things like:

• • Hair, skin, and nails,
  • Immunity,
  • Metabolism,
  • Weight loss,
  • More energy,
  • Hangovers, etc.

On the other hand, vitamin therapies are also administered to people who have a vitamin deficiency. In such cases, injectable vitamins can help you beat the deficiency faster than using oral pills, for example. If you’re unsure whether or not you have a certain deficiency, Chicago’s best weight loss expert suggests you try micronutrient testing to determine if there’s any vitamin your body’s missing. While there are symptoms that can show in the case of a micronutrient deficiency, it’s worth mentioning that studies have shown that more than 90% of U.S. citizens have some form of vitamin deficiency. With that in mind, it’s worth running a few tests to see if you are one of them.

Final thoughts

Although injectable vitamins are becoming increasingly popular, especially among celebrities looking for a quick fix or a hangover cure, we suggest you take things seriously and avoid having them without a previous medical check. While each vitamin therapy has numerous benefits, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. You’ll get the best results by first knowing what your body requires. Schedule your call with our clinic and resolve any vitamin deficiency today.
