A quick, nurse-administered shot for energy, immunity and general wellbeing. Medical screening first.
Vitamin injections deliver a specific vitamin or blend directly into the muscle, usually in the upper arm. Because the dose bypasses the digestive system, absorption is higher and more predictable than with an oral supplement. B12 is the most commonly requested.
They differ from an IV drip in both route and time: an injection takes a couple of minutes rather than 45, and delivers a single targeted dose rather than a broader infusion. Every injection is administered by a qualified nurse after a medical history, because vitamin injections are not appropriate for everyone.
Given and monitored by a qualified nurse, never a walk-in service.
Medical history taken before every session.
Including screening. The injection itself takes moments.
Some notice a difference within a day; for others it is more gradual.
We check your medical history and confirm the injection is appropriate for you. The injection is given into the upper arm muscle with a fine needle. It takes a few seconds and most clients describe a brief sting followed by a dull ache.
You can carry on with your day immediately. The injection site may ache for a day, much like after a vaccination. Bruising is possible but uncommon. If you are having a course, we will space them appropriately rather than as often as you like.
An injection goes into the muscle and takes moments, delivering one targeted dose. An IV drip goes into a vein over about 45 minutes and delivers a broader blend of nutrients and fluid.
That depends on what you are trying to address and on your medical history. We will discuss it at your appointment rather than recommending the most expensive option.
It depends entirely on the vitamin and your individual need. Some are appropriate every few weeks, others far less often. We will give you a sensible interval and stick to it.
Some clients do, particularly where there is a genuine deficiency. Others notice little. We would rather be honest about that than overpromise.
For ongoing tiredness, yes, and we would encourage you to see your GP. A vitamin injection is not a substitute for finding out why you feel tired.
It is not appropriate with certain medical conditions, some medications, or during pregnancy without medical advice. Your screening covers this before anything is given.
