Intramusclar vitamin injections therapy at Optimum Health
Vitamin Injections or intramusclar (IM) vitamin injections are a quick, safe, and easy way to get the vital nutrients your body needs. Unlike an intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (under the skin) injection, intramuscular shots are administered directly into the muscle. A key benefit is faster absorption of nutrients to give you the boost you need quickly without much of a wait.
These injections, also known as vitamin shots, are a great alternative for those that have dietary restrictions or other complications that would make oral ingestion less than ideal. While you can get many of the vitamins and minerals you need through eating, you may have dietary limitations that prevent you from eating all the foods that can give you those necessary nutrients. Intramuscular injections can help bridge that gap.
You are most likely already familiar with intramuscular injections—it is the way almost all vaccines are administered. However, intramuscular injections are also used to administer vitamins and minerals into the body as a therapeutic treatment.
Optimum Health offers various ready-made and custom mixes of vitamins and antioxidants to meet the health and lifestyle needs of our patients.
