Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a vital vitamin which has many essential functions in the body; keeping your nerves and blood cells healthy, supporting the production of dna and red blood cells, and maintaining normal brain function. It is the largest and most structurally complicated vitamin. It can naturally be found in meat, fish, dairy products and fortified cereals. Many people don’t consume enough Vitamin B12 in their diet, particularly vegetarians and vegans.
There are benefits from B12 injections as some people just don’t absorb B12 naturally due to a lack of a substance called intrinsic factor – a protein produced in the stomach that binds to B12, helping it to be absorbed into the blood.
B12 levels can decrease with age, as well as being lower in people who have undergone weight loss surgery, or suffer from pernicious anaemia, Crohn’s or celiac disease.
You cannot ‘overdose’ on vitamin b12, your body will store any excess in the liver for future use, or it is excreted in urine.
Where are B12 Injections given?
When you receive your Vitamin B12 injections here at Skin Alchemy, our practioner will administer the injection intramuscularly into the arm, with many clients reporting an almost immediate effect.
We recommend a dose every 3-6 months for optimum health and wellbeing. Regular treatment should reduce symptoms such as headaches, tiredness, lack of energy and breathlessness.
Booking an appointment for B12 Injections
Before making an appointment we ask all clients to give us a call for a free one-to-one consultation. This is an opportunity for us to establish your goals and advise on your suitability for vitamin B12 injections. If we think you’re an ideal candidate, we’ll gladly book you in to have your first shot.
Vitamin D
Living in the cool UK climate, it can be tricky to get the Vitamin D we need from the sun. The UK Government recommends that everyone in the UK supplements with Vitamin D for at the winter months between October to March at the very least, when sunlight is at its lowest.
Vitamin D is needed to keep bones, teeth, and muscles healthy.
What does taking vitamin D do?
- Maintains bone density and bone health
- Supports the immune system
- Regulates the activity of more than 200 different genes
- Aids the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the body (these are essential for muscles, teeth, and bones)
- Helps prevent osteoporosis
- Reduces inflammation
- Protects against heart disease
- Supports brain function
Symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency
A vitamin D deficiency can put you at higher risk of health conditions including heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and depression. Signs that you may need more vitamin D include some of the following symptoms:
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Low mood
- Eczema
- Musculoskeletal aches and pains
- Muscle weakness
- Hair loss
- Generally feeling unwell
- Impaired cognition
Vitamin C
As Vitamin C is known for its positive impact on pigmentation, energy levels, free radicals, allergy resistance, and specific health conditions, its treatment indications are wide-reaching. Vitamin C is known for its nootropic properties, and regular vitamin C injections can generate improvements in this area, too.
- Absorbed better than oral supplements
- Reduces fatigue
- Improves the look and quality of the skin, bones and hair
- More gentle on sensitive stomachs
- Boosts the immune system
- Gives you more energy
- Helps improve skin pigmentation and has an anti-aging effect
Not getting enough Vitamin C can leave you feeling sluggish, run-down, prone to frequent bouts of illness, and looking tired.
Injecting Vitamin C delivers the perfect amount of this vital vitamin directly, leaving you feeling and looking fantastic. Because the injections are delivered directly into the bloodstream, they are perfect for those with sensitive stomachs, as oral supplements can irritate the stomach. The body only absorbs 15% of an oral supplement, whereas it can take in much more when it is delivered intra muscular.
Vitamin C has a positive impact on skin pigmentation, anti-aging free radicals, resistance to allergies and some health conditions.
