Vitamin Injections

Targeted Nutrients for Rapid Results

Vitamin Injections

VP Health offers intramuscular (IM) injections to deliver targeted vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants for rapid absorption and effectiveness.

Why Choose IM Injections?

Unlike oral supplements, IM injections bypass the digestive system and deliver nutrients directly into your bloodstream where they are rapidly utilized by the body. This can be especially helpful if you have absorption challenges, digestive complaints, or need a quick-acting nutrient boost.

Benefits of IM Injections

  • Boosts energy & reduces fatigue
  • Supports immunity & recovery
  • Enhances detox pathways
  • Improves metabolic function
  • Supports mood, cognition, and overall vitality

Our IM Injection Offerings

Glutathione

A powerful antioxidant and natural detoxifier that supports liver function, cognition and cellular health. This nutrient helps enhance detox pathways, brighten skin, and protect against oxidative stress.

Recommended Frequency: 1x/week for 6 weeks then monthly for maintenance.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

A key coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and metabolism. NAD+ declines significantly with age (some studies showing up to 50%), and IM delivery can support energy, mental clarity, and overall cellular function.

Recommended Frequency: 1x/week for 8 weeks then monthly for maintenance.

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

This vitamin supports energy production, mood, nerve health, and red blood cell formation. B12 injections are a great option for fatigue, low energy, or if you have trouble absorbing B vitamins orally.

Recommended Frequency: 1x/week for 5 weeks then monthly for maintenance.

Vitamin D

An essential fat-soluble vitamin that supports bone health, immune function, mood balance, and inflammation regulation. Studies estimate 70-97% of Canadians are Vitamin D insufficient and IM administration can help correct deficiencies more effectively than oral dosing.

Recommended Frequency: Every 2–4 weeks or as directed based on lab results.

MIC/B12 (Lipotropic Blend)

A combination of Methionine, Inositol, Choline (MIC) plus B12 that supports metabolism, fat processing, and energy production. Great for metabolic support alongside lifestyle goals in your health journey.

How It Works

Each injection is done in-clinic by either Dr. Mariah Pilling, ND or our trained nurse. IM injections are quick (typically under 5 minutes) with minimal downtime. Side effects may include slight bruising, soreness or stinging at the injection site. Dosing and frequency are personalized based on your assessment. Many patients choose to include injections in their health regimes alongside their care with the other practitioners found at VP Health.
