Replenish Vital Vitamins and Nutrients With Injections

The human body requires a wide array of nutrients to keep the body functioning normally. In cases where the body is unable to process, absorb, and or create nutrients for daily function, vitamin injections help replenish the body’s store of life-providing nutrients such as B12, C, D, and Biotin.

Counteract Vitamin Deficiency

Behind B12

The water-soluble nutrient, vitamin B12, plays an important role in the body’s formation of red blood cells. A deficiency in red blood cells, a condition called anemia, often leads to sluggishness and fatigue.

The manufactured version of vitamin B12 is commonly used in injections is called cyanocobalamin. Getting B12 shots in McKinney can address issues caused by a deficiency in this vital nutrient. People may lack B12 as a result of poor nutrition, intestinal problems, infection, and cancer.

Types of Vitamin Injections

Vitamin B12

B12 injections help patients who have difficulty absorbing B12 through their digestive systems. It helps the body’s ability to produce red blood cells, resulting in increased energy, improved cognitive function, and balance.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D assists patients who spend long hours indoors. This naturally occurring hormone contributes to bone density and overall immune system health. Vitamin D also helps the body absorb minerals from food.

Vitamin C

A lack of Vitamin C can lead to serious conditions such as scurvy. Regular vitamin C intake provides the basis for a well-functioning immune system. Injections may also speed up the recovery of serious wounds from trauma or burns.

Biotin

Injecting Biotin keeps hair healthy and vibrant. Although biotin occurs in the body naturally, genetic disposition, long-term antibiotic use, or prenatal supplements may cause our reserves to dip. This treatment also improves nail and skin health.

Preparing for Vitamin Injections

  • Bring a complete list of prescriptions.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing to allow the injector easy access to the injection site.
  • Stay hydrated the day of injection.

Post-Injection Care

  • Rehydrate to allow the body to process and distribute the injection.
  • Take time to rest.
  • Stick with the maintenance plan Dr. Ralston has laid out.

What to Expect

During the patient’s first consultation for vitamin injections like B12 shots in McKinney, Dr. Ralston meets with them to discuss current health goals. He uses this time to tailor a vitamin injection treatment to suit their specific needs. Depending on their availability, the injection may be administered the same day.

Vitamin injections are administered directly into the muscle. Patients sit back, relax, and feel a slight pinch as the syringe sends vital nutrients into the body.

Vitamin injections enter the body immediately without the need for the digestive system to break down tablets or powder. It may take 48 to 72 hours for the vitamin to disperse throughout the body via the circulatory system.
