Don't Eat Your Vitamins — Inject Them!

Your body requires vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to function properly. 

You should be able to get all the necessary nutrients for optimal health and wellness through your diet. Unfortunately, however, many Western diets lack nutrient-dense foods. As a result, nutrient deficiencies are a widespread issue.

While you can certainly supplement your nutrition with oral tablets, vitamin injections offer a potentially more effective alternative.

Maria Cole, APRN, FNP-C, and the rest of our team at Enrich Health and Wellness in Boerne, Texas, offer vitamin injections to address nutrient deficiencies and boost health and wellness. 

The health effects of nutrient deficiencies 

Not all nutrient deficiencies affect you the same way. Your symptoms typically depend on the nutrient(s) you lack and the severity of the deficiency. 

Here are indicators that you could be deficient in certain vital nutrients:

• Fatigue (lack of vitamins B6, B9, B12, C)
• Changes in hair, skin, and nails (A, B2, B3, B6, B7)
• Muscle weakness (B1, B12, E)
• Vision changes (A, B1, B2, E)
• Decline in cognitive function (B1, B3, B6, B12)
• Nerve pain and tingling (B1, B6, B12, E)
• Joint swelling (C)
• Abnormal bleeding and bruising (C, K)
• Mood changes (B3, B6, B9, B12)

Oftentimes, you don’t notice a nutrient deficiency right away. Symptoms become more severe as the deficiency grows.

When to consider vitamin injections

Lack of proper nutrition isn’t the only cause of a nutrient deficiency. Being immunocompromised, having a chronic illness, traveling frequently, and being pregnant can affect how your body absorbs nutrients, requiring you to supplement your intake. 

Even if you aren’t deficient in a specific nutrient, supplementing your vitamin and mineral intake with injections can benefit your overall health and wellness. 

What to expect when you get vitamin injections

Before you start vitamin injections with our team, we discuss your symptoms and your goals for nutrient supplementation. 

At Enrich Health and Wellness, we offer a wide variety of injections, ensuring an option for everyone. We inject them into a muscle, delivering the nutrients into your bloodstream for quick and noticeable results. 

An advantage that injections have over oral supplements is that the direct delivery of nutrients into your bloodstream provides 100% absorption. Nutrients taken orally lose something when they pass through the digestive tract. 

Other benefits of vitamin injections include improved immunity, more energy, clearer thinking, radiant skin, and a boosted metabolism.
