Vitamin injections can be a good option for people who want to ensure they are getting enough vitamins, or who have trouble absorbing nutrients from supplements. Injections can be a quick and effective way to address deficiencies, and can provide long-term health benefits.

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is involved in energy production in your body and can improve your energy levels and decrease fatigue. It is also the essential vitamin which is needed for the production of mood-regulating chemicals in the brain. So, having the right balance can improve your mood, sleep, emotions and even help prevent depression.
Vitamin B Complex
B vitamin levels certainly get lower as we age, and older adults (particularly over 65's) will benefit from a B complex supplement. Evidence from various sources suggests that older adults are more susceptible to vitamin B complex deficiency. This may not be apparent as people learn to live with conditions that develop over a lifetime, or put it them down to age.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning your body can’t produce it. Yet, it has many roles and has been linked to many health benefits. It’s water-soluble and found in many fruits and vegetables, including oranges, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bell peppers, broccoli, kale, and spinach. While it’s commonly advised to get your vitamin C intake from foods, many people struggle to get the required amount on a daily basis.
Vitamin D
We don’t make enough vitamin D for our needs in the UK - in fact it is thought that around 20% of the UK population is deficient in Vitamin D!
Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children, and bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.
Glutathione
Glutathione is the “mother of all antioxidants”. Made up of three amino acids - glutamine, glycine and cysteine, it is naturally produced by the liver and has a number of functions. It helps with the break down and metabolism of toxins and free radicals - supporting their elimination from the liver, lungs, intestines, and kidneys in your urine. It also supports immune function and plays a role in tissue growth and repair.
