Are Vitamin shots actually worth it or is this the new celebrity/ insta fad?
Short answer - It's worth it.
Clinical Cosmedics have been researching and trialling both intravenous therapy vitamin infusions and intramuscular vitamin boosters since 2015.
Our first introductory to IV therapy was through an oncologist in Brisbane, who was administering high doses of vitamin C via IV for cancer patients in between both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The results were remarkable, since meeting him, I have been obsessed with researching vitamin therapy and the benefits.
Now, before I go on, I want to make a few essential statements. I am a nurse. I am not a doctor nor researcher, I do not compound the vitamin boosters myself, and I am NOT making any claims to whether or not vitamin infusions work nor am I going to speak on the science behind my chosen boosters, this is purely my opinion and the feedback of my patients in which have trialled the boosters.
Ok, now that is out the way I want to tell you why you need a vitamin booster shot...
If you're anything like me, you have full intentions of taking your multivitamin tablet each morning or night, maybe some extra vitamins like fish oils, st johns wart or some Brahmi to improve your brain function but the reality is, most of us forget to take it because we're so busy with watching the last episode of Tiger King on Netflix or putting the kids to bed or rushing for work in the morning after hitting the snooze button three times.
What if I told you that I could give you one to two weeks of your usual oral tablet vitamin dosage in just one little injection in the arm or the butt?!
When nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream, they bypass the digestive system and are pushed directly into cells where they can be more effectively utilized by the body.
Now, before you whine about how much you hate needles and you've you have had a phobia since you were eight, let me tell you that from my experience, the benefits are phenomenal and it totally works the 2-second pinch.
We've chosen IM injections over IV infusions for several reasons, mainly as we found the IM booster gave an almost identical result as the IV minus the hydration of course unless of course. The Vitamin booster shot is also really affordable with shots from $75-$100 compared to IV Infusions from $300-$500.
These little injections are quick, easy, pretty much painless and affordable.
We have created our menu based on the feedback of our patients and their needs. Each patient who trialled the booster presented positive feedback and reported increased energy level, cognitive function and have seen great results for our fitness patients in muscle gain and muscle recovery.
In conclusion, our vitamin booster shots in our opinion are a fantastic option for those wanting to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle; they are great for ongoing treatments but also for those needing a one-off boost.
So, If you're run down, have high anxiety levels, if your brain needs a boost, or if your energy level is about the same as a sloth then our advice is to try one of our custom boosters from our Clinical Cosmedics menu.
