Vitamin Injections
At Advanced Integrative Medicine (AIM), we offer vitamin injections as a fast and effective way to deliver essential nutrients directly into your body. This intramuscular approach bypasses the digestive system, allowing for optimal absorption and faster results, helping you feel energized and healthier without the need for daily supplements.
Why Choose
Vitamin Injections?
Vitamin injections have become increasingly popular across the United States due to their superior absorption compared to oral vitamins. When you take vitamins by mouth, the digestive process often reduces the number of nutrients your body can actually use. With vitamin injections, you can benefit from 100% absorption, ensuring that your body gets the maximum amount of nutrients without the loss that occurs with pills.
In addition to the convenience of not having to take a daily pill, vitamin injections provide long-lasting benefits, including:
- Immune System Boost: Helps strengthen your body’s defenses, keeping you healthier and more resistant to illness.
- Increased Energy Levels: Provides a natural energy boost that helps combat fatigue and improve overall vitality.
- Stress Reduction: Supports the body in managing the effects of stress, promoting better mental and physical health.
These injections deliver essential vitamins that help you feel and look healthier, offering a convenient and effective alternative to oral supplements.
Types of Vitamin Injections We Offer
At Advanced Integrative Medicine (AIM), we provide a variety of vitamin injections to meet your specific health needs. Our options include:
- Vitamin B Complex Injections: A mix of B vitamins that support metabolism, energy production, and overall cell health.
- Vitamin B12 and MIC Injections: Vitamin B12 is known for boosting energy and improving mood, while MIC (Methionine, Inositol, and Choline) injections aid in fat metabolism and weight management.
- Vitamin B1 and B6 Injections: These vitamins help with energy production, improve brain function, and support the immune system.
- Glutathione Injections: A powerful antioxidant that aids in detoxification, improves skin clarity, and enhances the immune system.
How Vitamin Injections Can Benefit You
Whether you are looking to improve your energy, strengthen your immune system, or enhance your overall health, vitamin injections offer a wide range of benefits:

Glutathione
$35 per injection
Glutathione
200mg / ml
1ml IM Q weekly
Glutathione is often referred to as “the Master Antioxidant” due to its critical role in the immune defenses of the body. It is the body’s strongest antioxidant, and has an enormous capacity to combat oxidative stress and neutralize harmful free radicals. Glutathione fights dangerous free radicals and reduces the oxidative damage they cause. Increasing antioxidant defense not only protects the body and brain, but it also helps detox harmful substances from the body.
Oxidative stress contributes to many disease processes in the body. The role of Glutathione in the body cannot be understated. In the real world, environmental toxins, your diet, stress, and other lifestyle issues have disabled the checks and balances of this system and inflammation doesn’t subside as it should. As a result, many people suffer from chronic systemic inflammation. Healthy levels of Glutathione can protect from inflammatory conditions including
- Cardiovascular disease
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Asthma and COPD
- Lyme disease
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Colitis
- Cholesterol
- Osteoarthritis
- Alcoholism
- Cataracts and Glaucoma
- Diabetes
- Liver disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Kidney failure
- Psoriasis
Age is the most natural reducer of glutathione levels. Other environmental factors and medical conditions that increase the risk of deficiency include
- Exposure to chemical toxins (including pollution)
- UV radiation exposure
- Chronic stress
- Excess alcohol use
- Smoking
- Poor diet
- Medications
Glutathione benefits
- Purported to reverse the aging process, prevent cancer, preserve memory, and promote longevity
- Restores the ability of the immune cells to kill bacteria and viruses.
- Helps overcome addictive behaviors which span from eating disorders, to alcohol and drug abuse.
- Decreases melanin (pigmentation) in the skin, decreases wrinkles and improves skin elasticity.
- Boosts athletic performance when incorporated into workout programs. Studies support that Glutathione helps improve performance, decreases fatigue, and leads to lower blood lactic acid levels after workouts. Lactic acid contributes to fatigue, low blood pressure, muscle aches, a drop in body temperature, and respiratory problems.
