Intramuscular (IM) vitamins

Intramuscular (IM) vitamins are a type of vitamin injection that is administered directly into a muscle. This method of delivery allows the vitamins to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly and efficiently, bypassing the digestive system.

IM vitamin injections can be used to provide a variety of vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin B12, vitamins C and other essential nutrients that may be deficient in the body. These injections may be recommended for individuals who are unable to absorb vitamins through oral supplementation or who require higher doses of vitamins than what can be achieved through oral supplementation.

The administration of IM vitamin injections is typically performed by a healthcare professional at Transcend Mental Health & Wellness. The injection site may be sore or tender for a short period of time after the injection is given, but this is generally temporary.

IM vitamin injections are generally considered safe when administered by a trained healthcare professional. However, as with any medical treatment, there is a potential for side effects or complications. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of IM vitamin injections with Transcend healthcare provider before undergoing this type of treatment.
