Let's ‘C’ the Benefits of Vitamin Injections...
Vitamin injections can help our bodies to heal, enhance the immune system, increase energy levels and improve our overall well-being. We have had Vitamin injections for decades. However, they have only become widely known in the last 10 years thanks to celebrities and key influencers extolling their ‘Brain Fog Busting’ and ‘Calorie Burning’ properties. Celebrity Skin Care Specialist, Nurse Jamie, says that “Studies reveal that over 90 percent of people are deficient in at least one or more nutrients.” B12, C, D, E, and A, as well as calcium, iron, fibre, and potassium are among the nutrients that most people will lack. She explains that “It is easier for our bodies to absorb liquid vitamins than their counterpart, pills” as they are injected directly into a vein or muscle. This will be able to bypass the digestive system entirely, increasing the vitamin’s accessibility to the patient’s body.As a result, a patient would only need a fraction of the dosage than you would with a pill. Not only that, but rather than taking a vitamin every day, a patient would only need an injection once a week! B12 is just one of the many vitamins that can be injected. Vitamins C, D, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12 as well as amino acids and other nutrients, are all popular injection vitamins.“Weekly vitamin shots are an effective way to increase your energy, strengthen your immune system, and promote weight loss.” - Nurse Jamie
