Why vitamin injection?

 

You may be wondering why you would choose to get a vitamin injection when you could take a vitamin supplement instead.

 

A supplement may be easier to take by mouth, but the vitamin has to be digested through the digestive tract, and some of the vitamins may be lost if it is not appropriately absorbed.  

 

Alternatively, with intramuscular injections, you do not have to worry about absorption through the digestive tract, as it is instead going directly into the muscle. It is then absorbed into the blood supply to get the vitamin into the body more quickly and at a higher concentration. This is another reason that vitamin injections are so useful.
