Should I get a vitamin injection or IV therapy?

It depends on what you need. A vitamin injection delivers one concentrated nutrient through a quick five to ten minute shot, making it ideal for maintaining levels of a specific vitamin like B12 or vitamin D. IV therapy delivers multiple nutrients simultaneously through an intravenous drip over about an hour, which is better when you need high-dose, multi-nutrient support. Many of our clients use both: IV therapy for periodic deep replenishment and vitamin injections for efficient maintenance between sessions.

What does a B12 injection do?

A B12 injection delivers vitamin B12 directly into your muscle tissue, where it absorbs into the bloodstream over the following hours. B12 supports energy production, red blood cell formation, nerve function and DNA synthesis. People with low B12 levels often experience fatigue, brain fog, numbness in the hands or feet and difficulty concentrating. An injection raises B12 levels faster and more reliably than oral supplements, especially for people with digestive absorption issues.

Are vitamin injections covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by provider and plan. Some extended health insurance plans in Alberta cover naturopathic services, which may include vitamin injections when prescribed by a naturopathic doctor like Dr. Cheryl Cooper, ND. We recommend checking with your insurance provider before your appointment. Our front desk team can provide you with the documentation you need to submit a claim.

Do vitamin injections hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch when the needle enters the muscle, followed by brief pressure as the nutrient is injected. The entire injection takes less than a minute. Some people experience mild soreness at the injection site for a day or so afterward, similar to what you might feel after a flu shot. Serious discomfort is rare, and our nursing team led by Maddison Miller uses proper technique to minimize any pain.

The Power of Adrenal Injections for Stress Relief and Mental Health

Our most impactful injection for busy, high achieving people is our adrenal injection. Adrenal fatigue is a condition that occurs when prolonged stress overworks your adrenal glands, leading to a range of symptoms including hormone imbalances. Your adrenal glands produce key hormones which regulate energy levels, metabolism and the body’s response to stress. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue include: fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, sweet or salty cravings and a weakened immune function.

At Vitality BioMed we offer adrenal injections designed to rebalance your adrenal glands and restore balance. These injections contain a powerful blend of amino acids, B vitamins and essential nutrients that help reduce stress and anxiety, boost energy levels, support hormone balance and strengthen the immune system.
