Vitamin and Nutrient Shots – also known as IM shots or IM injections – involve the delivery of nutrients ranging from amino acids to Vitamin B12 via an intramuscular (IM) injection. Physicians often utilize these shots as a delivery mechanism for various nutrients, vitamins and minerals, especially when oral versions are not being absorbed properly or quickly enough.
People often confuse Vitamin and Nutrient Shots with IV Therapy, but they are not the same.
Both IV Therapy and Vitamin and Nutrient Shots are incredibly effective methods for delivery of nutrients, vitamins or medications.
IV Therapy is a medical protocol that is utilized to administer medications, vitamins, minerals, and an array of nutrients via IV. It is used to treat illness or improve physical and mental performance. IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, bypasses the digestive system and directly delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals into the veins for immediate absorption.
Vitamin and Nutrient shots, also known as intramuscular (IM) injections, deliver vitamins and nutrients directly into muscle tissue for slower absorption into the bloodstream. IM injections are a less invasive delivery method that may be used instead of intravenous injections because some vitamins, nutrients or medications are irritating to veins - or because a suitable vein cannot be located.
Dr. Goldstone has years of expertise working with both methods and will help you select which one is right for your particular needs and the condition being treated. IM injections are more suitable for certain vitamins or medications, and IV Therapy works best for others. There are advantages to both.
Oral supplements may be unreliable if your body is unable to absorb them or cannot absorb them well. Let’s take Vitamin D, for example. Intramuscular (IM) vitamin D injections are a better treatment for those at risk of deficiency or who have been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency. Blood levels rise more quickly with intramuscular injections compared with oral capsules or tablets.
There are many additional benefits that come with Vitamin and Nutrient Shots, including:
Depending on the condition being addressed and the Vitamin and Nutrient shots selected, benefits may range from losing weight to improving overall health and longevity.
Each IM injection offers its own unique benefits. That’s why it’s important to work with a Functional Medicine doctor who seeks to understand the underlying root causes of your health issues – so that therapies and treatments like Vitamin and Nutrient Shots can be fine-tuned to address your specific health needs.
Vitamin and Nutrient Shots can be especially helpful with relieving nutritional deficiencies. Some of the conditions that have been treated with Vitamin and Nutrient Shots include:
Here is just a partial list of the options we offer for Vitamin and Nutrient Shots:
Essential for energy production and plays a crucial role in red blood cell formation. This vitamin is often recommended for those combating chronic fatigue, giving you that much-needed vitality to tackle your day.
This combination is specifically designed for weight management and energy. Together, these vitamins work to burn fat and support efficient energy use in the body. Combining MIC, B12 and L Carnitine not only enhances fat burning but also increases your exercise endurance, making your workout more effective.
Enhances hair and nail health by promoting growth and strength.
Contains glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. It helps eliminate toxins from your body by neutralizing harmful free radicals. Detoxifying your body preserves the health of cells and tissues and may reduce the risk of degenerative diseases and cancer.
With age, levels of NAD+ naturally decline, leading to decreased cellular energy and slowing metabolism. NAD+ injections can counter this decline, enhancing your energy levels, improving metabolic health, and supporting your overall well-being.
If you're focused on exercise, muscle building, and recovery, our formulations combine multiple B vitamins, amino acids, and L-carnitine. This blend not only boosts energy but also enhances endurance, significantly benefiting your exercise routine.
These blends can help boost metabolism, improve energy levels, and provide essential amino acids necessary for overall health. Provide essential building blocks for your body, helping to boost your metabolism and improve energy levels for a healthier lifestyle.
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your medical history, current and past medications, daily stressors, diet, exercise habits, and current health issues. We may explore issues like appetite, sleep, bowel movements, and current emotional state. All of this is designed to fully understand what areas of your health would benefit from most from Vitamin and Nutrient Shots.
Our priority in any treatment we offer– including these IM injections - is to understand your overall health and the specific conditions you wish to treat. At that point, we can then focus on specific type(s) of Vitamin and Nutrient Shots that we think would be best for you.
Typical injection sites include the arm, thigh, hip or buttocks. We will completely clean and sterilize the area(s) before your injection(s).
The results you experience from Vitamin and Nutrient Shots will vary according to individual factors like:
Because certain illnesses or chronic conditions may be caused by various underlying factors, no doctor should ever use a one-size-fits-all approach with Vitamin and Nutrient treatment options. In some instances, the wrong choices could actually worsen certain condition.
Selecting a knowledgeable, experienced physician is the most important decision you can make before beginning IM injections and choosing the specific vitamins or nutrients you need. Talk to us before we administer the injections if you have any concerns or questions at all. After your injections, if you experience any severe discomfort, please let us know.
With that said, Vitamin and Nutrient Shots have an excellent safety profile. There is no risk of disease transmission. You can be reassured by the long history of injection use in hospitals and medical practices, including our own practice.
