Injection Therapies
Sometimes we need more direct routes of getting nutrients into your bodies, bypassing the digestive tract. Administering nutrients and other compounds through fatty tissues (subcutaneous) or into muscle (intramuscular), can be an effective route for improving nutrient deficiencies.
GLP-1 Peptide Therapy
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Weight Loss Support
GLP-1s are compounds that are naturally produced by the body that can help improve blood sugar levels and reduce appetite to aid in weight loss. This is a safe therapy with little to no side effects when prescribed and used properly. The benefits of GLP-1s works far beyond just simple weight loss. Research has shown benefits for improving kidney, pancreas, cardiovascular and brain function.
These compounds are best administered subcutaneously (fat tissue) once weekly.
Vitamin Injections- Intramuscular
Vitamin B12- Methylcobalamin
Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining healthy nerve cells, producing DNA, and the formation of red blood cells, helping to prevent anemia. Additionally, adequate levels of vitamin B12 are important for brain health, as it can support cognitive function and mood regulation. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to serious health issues, making it vital to include it in your diet through food sources or supplements.
Vitamin D3- Cholecalciferol
Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health by enhancing calcium absorption in the gut. It supports the immune system, helping the body to fend off infections and diseases. Vitamin D3 can improve mood and may reduce the risk of depression. Overall, ensuring adequate levels of Vitamin D3 contributes to overall wellness and vitality.
Direct sun light exposure is best, but the Pacific Northwest is not suitable for year long natural vitamin D production, so supplementation is often recommended or required.
