Vitamin D Injections

Vitamin D Injections help to maintain a healthy body and give yourself the best possible defence against viruses (including COVID-19). Delivering pure shots of Vitamin D straight into the bloodstream, injections are the surest way to making sure you get the full levels of this essential vitamin.
 

Vitamin D helps keep our bones, teeth and muscles strong, support our immune systems, and aid the function of our brains. Having low levels of Vitamin D could be a potential cause for a number of concerns, including:
 

  • fatigue

  • aching bones

  • slow energy recovery

  • susceptibility to viruses.
     

Unfortunately, Vitamin D deficiency is very common. It is believed that as many as 60% of the UK population have lower than the recommended levels. It is particularly common among older demographics, where skin becomes less effective at producing Vitamin D, or among people with darker complexions.
 

How does it work?
Vitamin D is hailed as the sunshine vitamin because we primarily produce it from the sun’s UV rays. However, it is also found in certain foods such as oily fish, dairy, and egg yolks.

Vitamin D helps the body regulate its levels of calcium and absorb calcium from food, which is essential for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. It is also powerful because it interacts with every one of our body’s cells. For example, it works with our white blood cells to fight off infections.
 

If you are low in Vitamin D, restoring your levels via injections can have the following health benefits:

  • Providing immune system support for staving off colds and other viruses

  • Maintaining strong and healthy bones and teeth

  • Maintaining bone density, particularly as we age, thus reducing risk of fractures

  • Maintaining strong muscles and aiding muscle recovery in sport

  • Restoring energy and combating fatigue

  • Stabilising mood
     

Although Vitamin D supplements can be taken orally, a lot of the product is lost through the body’s digestive process. With injections, the Vitamin D is delivered directly into the bloodstream for optimal results. This treatment is especially beneficial for those of us who struggle to get or produce enough Vitamin D. This includes people who don’t get enough sun, older people whose bodies are unable to produce as much Vitamin D, and people with darker complexions, whose skin is more resistant to the sun’s UV rays.
 

How long does it take to work?
The effects of Vitamin D injections are instant and cumulative. You should begin to notice the benefits as your levels become more and more replenished.
 

What is the downtime?
There is no downtime involved with the injections. You should be able to return to most normal activities straight away.

Vitamin D Injections involves only the minor, fleeting discomfort of an injection

How often can you have a Vitamin D injection?
Only one injection is needed every 6 months, or every 3-4 months if a deficiency is found. If more vitamin D is administered it can lead to toxic levels of vitamin D in the body, which can be detrimental to health.
 

Vitamin D is fat soluble, meaning it is stored in the body’s tissues and fat cells where it remains inactive and dispersed over time, when needed. Vitamin D can be stored in the body for a long time. The body absorbs 100% of the vitamin D through injections.


PLEASE NOTE:

If you are already taking vitamin D supplements, you will need to stop taking the supplement for 4 weeks before receiving a vitamin D injection. This allows your body to use up any stored vitamin D and the injection can then be administered. Do not to take any multi vitamin, containing vitamin D or vitamin D supplements after having the vitamin D injection. This is due to possible toxicity from too much vitamin D, which could cause health implications.
