Vitamin Injections
Vitamins are an essential factor for our bodies to function optimally. Having deficiencies of such vital nutrients can lead to a whole range of unpleasant symptoms and chronic health conditions.
Vitamin B-12
Injections of Vitamin B12 are becoming more in demand as people become aware of the many benefits, as well as the link between a lack of Vitamin B12 and various associated ailments or illnesses. These injections are the best way of rapidly boosting your levels, having an almost instant impact on your health and wellbeing.
Vitamin B12 is vital for the adequate functioning of our digestive system and defends us against harmful viruses and bacteria. Vitamin B12 deficiencies affect the way in which our bodies use valuable energy. Stress, fatigue and 'brain fog' as well as reduced physical stamina are common side effects of Vitamin B12 deficiency. Benefits of Vitamin B12 injections in the treatment of these, as well as serious issues including dementia and panic disorder, have come to light within the past twenty years. Recently, the increasing popularity of veganism has made B12 shots more popular than ever before.
The benefits of Vitamin B12 injections include a healthier cardiovascular system, and for this reason, we always recommend a course of treatments to individuals who are looking to achieve maximum health and energy improvements. It is certainly evident that high concentrations of Vitamin B12 are an essential component of a healthy and active lifestyle.
For healthy individuals, the benefits of having vitamin B12 injections include an improvement in overall cerebral functioning as well as physical and psychological well being. As a moderate appetite suppressant, one of the other potential benefits of B12 injections is easier weight loss. They can be used intermittently and are a popular rejuvenation therapy for exhaustion, 'burn out', migraines and - of course - post-party nausea!
Biotin
Biotin also known as B7 or vitamin H, is a type of B complex vitamin that occurs naturally in a variety of foods, such as egg yolks, milk and dairy, legumes, nuts, avocados, bananas and organ meats like liver. Biotin helps support a healthy nervous system and improves the basic protein that makes up hair, skin and nails. This is why Biotin is known to help with hair growth and improve the general health of hair, skin and nails. It is also an important part of how enzymes in the body break down substances like fats, protein and carbohydrates into energy.
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, therefore it is not easily stored in the body. Any excess is passed through your system, and regular intake is required to avoid deficiency due to its transient nature. Biotin can be taken in tablet form or given intramuscularly as an injection. Most supplements are not effectively absorbed by our bodies through ingestion, intramuscular Biotin injections have been more effective in increasing Biotin levels faster in many patients.
Correct dosages of Biotin supplementation have shown an increase in hair growth, hair structure and thickness, as well as a decrease in hair loss. Higher doses of Biotin have also resulted in significant nail health improvement. Studies have shown that those who take a Biotin supplement can thicken their nails by up to 25 percent and decrease the amount of nail splitting and breakage they endure.
There are also numerous reports from both males and females stating that an unexpected side effect (or benefit) of Biotin, was that it noticeably improved their sex drive - however, there is no factual scientific evidence to support this, other than improving their overall health by supplementation.

Vitamin C Injections
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, it is a vitamin found in various foods and cannot be made by the human body so is an essential part of the diet. It is needed for the health and repair of various tissues in your body, including skin, bone, teeth and cartilage. It is required for the functioning of several enzymes and is important for immune system function. It also functions as an antioxidant.
Vitamin C keeps the cells healthy and helps to protect them and is vital in the maintenance of healthy skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels.
​
Persistent lack of vitamin C in your diet can lead to a condition called scurvy. Symptoms of scurvy include easy bruising, easy bleeding and joint and muscle pains. Vitamin C deficiency can be treated with a course of vitamin injections.
​There are certain groups of people who are more at risk of vitamin C deficiency.
They include:
-
People dependent on drugs and/or alcohol who may not have a healthy, balanced diet.
-
People who go on very restrictive diets.
-
People with a medical condition that affects the body's ability to digest and absorb food, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.​
-
Smokers. Smoking affects the absorption of vitamin C from foods and also vitamin C is used up in the body more quickly in those who smoke.
-
Pregnant and breastfeeding women because they need higher amounts of vitamin C.
​Vitamin C may be used for the following:

Helps to protect cells and keep them healthy

Antioxidant support
-
Maintaining healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage

To support normal skin function including collagen production
-
Helps with wound healing

Vitamin D Injections
Vitamin D is completely different than most other vitamins. It is a steroid hormone produced from cholesterol when your skin is exposed to the sun. For this reason, vitamin D is often referred to as “the sunshine vitamin.”
However, sun exposure rarely provides adequate vitamin D, making it necessary to obtain it from supplements or your diet. Yet, only a handful of foods contain significant amounts of this crucial vitamin, and deficiency is very common.
Benefits of Vitamin D:
​
-
Reduced risk of osteoporosis, falls, and fractures. Higher doses of vitamin D can help prevent osteoporosis, falls, and fractures in older adults

Better strength. Vitamin D can increase physical strength in both upper and lower limbs
-
Cancer prevention. Vitamin D may help prevent cancer. One study noted that 1,100 IU per day — alongside calcium — reduced cancer risk by 60%
-
Depression management. Studies show that vitamin D may ease symptoms in people with clinical depression
-
Reduced risk of type 1 diabetes. One study in infants linked 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day to a 78% reduced risk of type 1 diabetes
-
Improved mortality. Some studies suggest that vitamin D reduces people’s risk of dying during the study periods, indicating that it may help you live longer
-
Improved appearance of dark circles under the eyes
-
Improved quality of hair, skin & nails
