Vitamin Injections

Why do I need Vitamin C?

You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important building block for skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

 

How long does it take to work?

Although supplementary tablets can be taken to account for a lack of Vitamin C in the diet, injections are a more effective method because the Vitamin C is delivered straight into your system without being digested first, allowing for maximum results. They are also recommended for those with sensitive stomachs. Injections can enhance the production and function of immune cells, thereby strengthening the body's ability to combat infections and diseases.
