Vitamin Injections
Vitamin injections are a rapid way of getting much needed vitamins into the body to enhance performance and wellbeing.
Injection vs Oral Pill
Injections contain 500 times more than an oral pill. The body starts to break down and metabolise an oral pill, which means a much lower amount is available for the body to absorb. Did you know that in a high dose of 1000mg vitamin pill, the body only absorbs around 30mg. Water soluble vitamins just pass out through urine. With an injection, it ensures a quick and efficient absorption so the whole amount injected is the amount that the body absorbs and benefits from. Individuals who are severely deficient in certain vitamins may not benefit from oral pills as they can be poorly absorbed by the digestive system. It is just as important that the body does not get too many vitamins as this can be toxic. A vitamin injection can monitor exactly how much the body is getting so it is a safe amount.

High dose Multivitamin (Vitamin C and B Complex Combined)
Combining both a Vitamin C and Vitamin B Complex has a whole host of benefits for the body. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and assists in the absorption of many other vitamins and minerals. It enhances physical wellbeing, improves condition of the skin and hair and prevents illness. It is also responsible for producing collagen. The B vitamins are responsible for the development and maintenance of the nervous system and the formation of blood cells. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) – this is responsible for metabolism including that of glucose, amino acids and lipids. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) – this is a vitamin needed for growth and overall good health. It helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to use as energy and it allows oxygen to be used in the body. Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide) – this is very important as it is needed and used by every part of the body to function properly. It can help acne, reduce cholesterol and help brain function. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) – this is needed for brain development in children and brain function in adults. It helps the body produce the hormone serotonin which helps regulate mood and norepinephrine which helps the body cope with stress.
Multivitamin injections are recommended once every 4 – 6 weeks. The injection is given into the Gluteus Medius muscle in your bottom and only takes a few seconds to administer.
