There are two main injections that we do in the scope of naturopathic medicine: B12 injections and vitamin D injections. Injections can be a quick and easy way to get a larger dose of vitamins into your body.
B12 injections come in two forms. These forms can help patients who have difficulties with absorption of B12 as well as someone who may have difficulties in their methylation pathway due to genetics. B12 injections can be important for patients who are not adequately getting it in their diet such as in vegans.
B12 injections can help with:
nerve pain
fatigue
sleep concerns
memory and brain fog
Vitamin D injections can be used for those who are not eating sufficient amounts (commonly found in fish and some seafood). Or those that may have genetic conditions that have impairment converting it from the sun to be utilized in the body.
Vitamin D injections can help with:
reduced risk of metabolic disease
improved immune function
improvement in mood and brain cognition
