Several types of Intramuscular (IM) Nutrient Injections are available. The IM injections deliver nutrients directly into the body effectively to support individuals with vitamin deficiencies, fatigue, absorption difficulties, etc. We offer injections including vitamins, amino acid and other compounds. Vitamin B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin is offered which is better absorbed and remains active longer in the tissues after injection. Methylcobalamin is able to cross the blood brain barrier and allows patients to feel its effects quickly. Current available nutrients include B12, B Complex, MIC/Carnitine, Glutathione and NAD+.
Benefits of Vitamin B12 Include:
- Increased energy
- Decreased brain fog
- Memory enhancement
- Improved mood
- Higher metabolism to aid in weight loss
- Lowers homocysteine levels in the blood, decreasing risk of heart attack/strokes
- Restores B12 levels due to certain medications such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI), Metformin, and birth control pills, and others.
Note: It is normal for B12 to temporarily cause pinkish or reddish urine. Unused B12 will circulate throughout the body but is non-toxic and will be removed via the kidneys through the urine. Side effects may include inflammation, swelling and/or slight bleeding at the injection site.
Benefits of Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC)--amino acids naturally found in the body’s building blocks of protein--include:
- Improved liver function and detoxification
- Breaks down fats
- Prevents buildup of cholesterol in the arteries
- Balances mood and appetite
Note: Individuals with a drug allergy to sulfa must not receive MIC injections.
