What are Injectable Vitamins?
Injectable vitamins are vitamins that are injected into the muscle or fat through a syringe or administered directly into the bloodstream via an IV drip.
Why Do People Get Injectable Vitamins and IV Therapy?
There are a few reasons someone might get injectable vitamins, including:
- Gastrointestinal absorption issues
- Vitamin deficiencies
- B12 supplementation while on a weight loss program
- Skincare
- Hydration
What Are the Benefits of Vitamin Therapy?
The benefits of injectable vitamin therapy include:
- Boosts the immune system
- Treats vitamin deficiencies
- Improve the skin's health and appearance
- Helps with recovery after drinking too much alcohol
- Hydrates your body
How Long Does it Take to Feel the Benefits?
It depends on what you're treating because the number of injections or infusions varies from person to person. For instance, a vitamin deficiency may require several injections over a few weeks to rectify, while rehydration for a hangover would provide almost immediate results.
How Much Do Vitamin Injections and IV Therapy Cost?
The cost can vary significantly depending on what's being injected and how many treatments are required. A B12 injection can cost as little as $25 while stem cell drips can range as high as $7,500 to $10,000.
