Vitamin shots, or injections, are a potent and prescription-only version of vitamins in a form that is safe to inject into the body. Vitamin shots are usually administered under the skin, in a muscle or vein. When a vitamin shot is received, the body is saturated with vitamins, and every cell has as much as it needs right away. Many patients feel this immediately and enjoy the boost of nutrients. Vitamin shots have been used for over a century and are helpful with the following conditions: Viva Wellness offers a variety of vitamin shots at our clinic in San Diego. If you are interested in any of the following vitamin shots, please call our office today to set an appointment. Vitamin B12 is essential for the production and generation of blood cells and helps maintain a healthy nervous system. Vital metabolic and enzyme processes such as protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. Therapeutic use of B12 has provided relief for: fatigue, depression, insomnia, and has been useful in the treatment of hepatitis, bursitis, asthma, and osteoarthritis.
In this vitamin cocktail are compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder. By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver. The key amino acids used to make these shots are: Vitamin B12, Methione, Inositol, and Choline. Swelling, water retention, moodiness, dry skin, anemia, and hormonal imbalances are all the problems that can be related to a deficiency of vitamin B6. This vitamin is probably involved in more body processes than any other. Vitamin B6 shots assist enzyme reactions in protein and red blood cell metabolism and can increase energy, support immune system function and improve memory. LCarnitine is primarily involved with transporting long-chain fatty acids from the cell cytosol into the mitochondria. Since long chain fatty acids are oxidized (burned) in the mitochondria, LCarnitine facilitates production of energy from fat. LipoVite Injections are injections of lipotropic injections.
Injections contain a combination of B12 and B6 vitamins critical to the body’s efficient use of fat. A lipotropic injection is usually injected into the muscle under the skin and fatty tissue in specific areas of the body. These injections are designed to cause weight loss by boosting metabolism and energy levels. After several injections, the patient should become more active and burn more calories when moving or performing basic bodily functions. In addition, the active ingredients break down fat cells into smaller particles and are carried through the blood to muscles to be used for fuel, particularly during exercise.I am a hypnotherapist and the author of the self-help book Cut the Crap and Feel Amazing. I have helped thousands people to overcome all sorts of issues including finding health solutions. I wanted to share my own health story to get the information across to other people who may be affected by the same condition, vitamin B12 deficiency. Back in September 2011 I first mentioned to the GP that I was feeling really tired and I had a sore tongue.
The Doctor dismissed my symptoms at this stage as nothing. Then 2 months later in November 2011 I mentioned again about the over whelming tiredness, my really painful tongue and a thirst problem. He tested for diabetes and B12 deficiency, but the results came back as normal. I continued to get worse and over the following six months I visited the GP several more times. The symptoms meant I would get up in the morning but by eleven o'clock I was washed out. Then again around 4pm I would feel overwhelming exhaustion. The Doctor was very patronising as if he thought I was attention seeking by coming into the surgery. I told him that it felt as if I had suddenly aged overnight my back ached, I had a constant head ache at the back of the left side of my head, I had a wheezy breathlessness particularly going upstairs (for which I was given an asthma inhaler which made no difference), I had a prickly cough in my throat and my chest which was worse during the night, my hair began falling out unusually in clumps, I had memory loss on and off throughout the day, I had a balance problem often stumbling into things, I had a constant chest pain around the heart area, numbness and nerve pains in my hands and feet and painful hip joints.
The Doctor suggested I was depressed but as a hypnotherapist treating other people for depression and able to use self hypnosis myself I knew it was not depression. He got me to fill in a depression questionnaire which identified I was not depressed but he still ignored me. He suggested I had carpel tunnel syndrome in my hands so I was sent for wrist splints at the physiotherapy dept of the local Hospital. The Physiotherapist gave me exercises to do but my hands continued to get worse. After three months the Physio was surprised to not see any improvements. By now I was going downhill rapidly so the physiotherapist referred me back to the GP. In September 2012, by chance I spoke to an elderly relative who has pernicious anaemia (PA), I went on the pernicious anaemia website to help her get some information. When I saw the symptoms listed I discovered the symptoms were the same as my own. At first I thought it was coincidence but after further investigation I decided to try vitamin B12 patches (in October 2012) and later went privately to get an infusion of B12.
I then began injecting twice per day combining this with taking folic acid tablets to help the vitamin B12 absorb. Within 24 hours my balance problem had stopped. I then began to breathe properly and over the coming months I started to get better. Since 2014 I stopped injecting instead replacing this with applying three vitamin B12 skin patches daily which contain folic acid. I also apply one vitamin D skin patch daily and I have found being in the sun really helps me too. The patches work by by-passing the stomach. The vitamin supplement tablets which I also take daily are B100 complex, magnesium, CoQ10. I soak in an epsom salt bath once per week. I am on a gluten free diet as I found out I am celiac (coeliac) gluten intolerant, which apparently destroys the absorption of vitamin B12 absorbtion in the gut. I did further research and discovered that vitamin B12 is commonly given as injections in Germany you can buy injections over the chemist counter. In Japan they give vitamin B12 injections to anyone who’s blood level is 500 whereas in the UK they don't give vitamin B12 injections with the NHS until your blood level is 160.
In Japan there is no dementia and some believe this is due to the vitamin B12 given. The deficiency causes the neurons to die in your nerves which is what cause the pain in hands and feet, balance and memory problems. Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin which you cannot overdose on but it is not on offer through the NHS unless you have a low blood reading or anaemia with it (Pernicious Anaemia PA). Current testing is believed to be insufficient. My Great Grandfather died of Pernicious Aneamia in 1934 a few months before they discovered that vitamin B12 needs to be injected as the body does not always absorb or process vitamin B12 properly in the gut. It can take up to ten years to get a diagnosis as Doctors do not believe you until the symptoms are more advanced. Many people need an injection daily but the NHS often only give it once per month even if you are diagnosed. Could the NHS be spending a lot of money testing people for other illnesses when it is a vitamin B12 deficiency which explains the patients long list of symptoms?
