When consuming supplements orally, the body can only tolerate small doses and much of the nutrient content is lost in elimination. Additionally, many over the counter supplements contain fillers and other contaminants that are difficult for your body to digest. Bypassing the gastrointestinal route, Nutrient Injections and IV Therapy allow for much better absorption and use of nutrients. Many people benefit from taking high quality oral supplements in addition to other forms of nutrient therapy like injections and IV Therapy. Nutrient injections are available at our Birmingham office without an appointment. Shots are administered by one of our health professionals. They take approximately five minutes and do not require a consultation, though you always have the option of speaking with our Doctor to learn more about our nutrients and which are most appropriate for you.
