Vitamin Shots to Improve Your Health

Vitamin shots can give you a much-needed metabolism and energy boost when you are feeling fatigued and rundown. It is a practice that is popular with many busy celebrities and entertainers who cannot afford to miss work or an appearance just because they feel tired.

Taking vitamin shots is a quick procedure that can give you healthier-looking skin, improve your metabolism (which can make it easier to lose weight), and boost your energy levels.

How vitamin shots improve your health

Most people are aware of the important role that vitamins play when it comes to health. The problem is finding ways to ensure that they are getting all the essential nutrients that they need in the foods and drinks that they consume. Now, thanks to vitamin shots, people who do not always have the opportunity to eat well-balanced meals can safeguard their health and prevent vitamin deficiencies.

Being vitamin deficient is a prevalent issue. Studies reported by the CDC have shown that most people in the U.S. are deficient in at least one nutrient. The most common mineral and vitamin deficiencies that people have are potassium, calcium, fiber, iron, and vitamins A, B-12, C, E, and D.

Before the popularization of vitamin shots, most people took oral vitamins to make up for any deficiencies. While oral vitamins remain a great way to supplement a person’s diet, the body tends to do a better job of absorbing liquids injected into the bloodstream than it does absorbing vitamins from the stomach. The patient can also get an energy boost and increased metabolism, making it easier for them to reach other health goals, like weight loss.

The B-12 shot

The most popular type of vitamin shot is the B-12 injection. The common forms of this injection
are:

▪ Methylcobalamin

▪ Cyanocobalamin

▪ Hydroxocobalamin

▪ Adenosylcobalamin

The shots are normally injected into the upper arm, and the effects can be immediately felt. Th effects of a vitamin shot can last as long as three weeks. The benefits of the shot include:

▪ It helps keep the heart and blood vessels healthy (when combined with folate and vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 has been shown to help control levels of homocysteine in a person’s blood; elevated levels of homocysteine have been shown to increase a person’s risk of heart disease)

▪ There are a few indicators that link vitamin B-12 deficiencies to disorders like dementia and low cognition

▪ Patients get an energy boost

▪ The person’s immune system is strengthened, making them less likely to succumb to colds and other, similar illnesses

▪ The patient’s skin looks healthier

Frequently asked questions about vitamin shots

Here are the answers to common questions about vitamin shots.

How long do the effects of a vitamin shot last?

Most people feel the effects of vitamin shots, like increased energy, for around a week. Some patients might feel its effects for a bit longer.

Where will I be injected during my shot?

Vitamin shots can be administered in multiple places, like the deltoid muscle on the upper arm or the middle of the thigh muscle.

How do I find out if I have a vitamin deficiency?

A healthcare provider examines patients for vitamin deficiencies by performing simple blood tests. Samples are taken and sent to a lab where they are evaluated. Patients typically get the results of their tests within a week. Physical signs like fatigue can be indicators of vitamin deficiencies.

What is the difference between taking a vitamin supplement and getting a vitamin shot?

Supplements and shots are both effective ways to get vitamins into the body. Supplements are typically the more affordable option, and patients typically do not need a prescription for them. However, oral supplements lose a portion of their vitamins as they pass through the digestive system.

Conversely, vitamin shots do not lose any of their nutrients, so patients get their full effects. Vitamin shots only have to be taken weekly, unlike oral supplements, which typically have to be taken daily. Patients also feel the effects of vitamin shots faster compared to oral supplements.

Give your immune system a much-needed boost
