Having vitamins by injection can be hugely beneficial in comparison to taking oral supplements. When taken by mouth, vitamins have to navigate the digestive system before entering the blood stream, therefore, large amounts can be lost before actually providing any benefit to the body. If experiencing illness or sensitivity in the digestive system this can decrease absorption further. Redwing Holistic Health administers vitamin injections to adults 18 years and over only and will always assess a clients’ suitability prior.
