Vitamin Injections
Why choose a jab over a pill?
Generally, vitamin supplements cost less than a vitamin injection, which needs to be administered by a medical professional. However, the average digestive system only absorbs roughly 20% of everything consumed orally. The rest of those key nutrients end up in the sewage system.
Additionally, vitamin pills are generally manufactured with ‘fillers’ that have no nutritional value for your body. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And when it comes to giving your body a highly concentrated boost, a vitamin injection is a much more effective option as it bypasses your digestive system so your body can start benefiting as quickly as possible.
What are the benefits?
Absorption
Vitamin injections bypass the digestive system and are delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for faster and more efficient absorption of nutrients compared to oral pills, which may be subject to degradation in the digestive tract.
Higher Concentration
Injections can deliver a higher concentration of vitamins and nutrients compared to oral supplements, which may be limited by the body's ability to absorb and utilise the nutrients.
Quick Results
Due to the direct delivery into the bloodstream, vitamin injections may lead to quicker results and more immediate effects compared to oral supplements, which may take longer to show noticeable benefits.

B12
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, also known as cobalamin. It plays a vital role in brain function and the production of DNA and red blood cells.
Deficiency is common, especially in people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. In fact, it’s thought that up to 90% of people following these diets have a deficiency. This is because B12 is only found naturally in animal foods.
An untreated vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to neurological problems or pernicious anaemia.
