Vitamin injections enable immediate delivery of key nutritional vitamins and antioxidants directly into the body intramuscularly, where they can be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.
In recent years, vitamin injections have become popular among healthy people who want to ensure that they are getting an adequate level of vitamins in order to improve energy levels, weight, sleep, mood and hair loss.
Vitamin injections are a very quick and efficient method of addressing deficiencies as some vitamins are very difficult to get through diet and the body only absorbs 15% of oral supplements.
