Vitamin Injections

Vitamin Injections are a medical treatment that involves administering essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for higher concentrations of nutrients to be delivered to the body's cells and tissues more efficiently than through oral supplementation.

The concept behind nutritional IV therapy is to provide the body with the nutrients it needs to support various bodily functions, boost energy levels, enhance the immune system, and promote overall health and well-being. This method is often used when individuals have difficulty absorbing nutrients through the digestive system due to certain medical conditions, or when there's a need to rapidly replenish nutrient levels in cases of deficiency or illness.

The application of nutritional IV therapy can vary based on the specific needs and goals of the individual. It's important to note that while IV therapy can provide rapid nutrient absorption, it should not be viewed as a replacement for a healthy diet or oral supplementation in most cases. It's typically recommended for specific situations where oral intake or absorption is compromised, such as certain medical conditions, surgeries, or recovery from illness.

We recommend you schedule a free consultation with one of our Naturopathic doctors before undergoing nutritional IV therapy. They can assess your individual needs, provide guidance on whether this therapy is appropriate for you, and determine the optimal formulation of nutrients based on your health status.

Nutritional IV Therapy

Services Offered:

Energy B12 Injection (both locations)

B12 is an important nutrient involved in maintaining healthy red blood cells,

metabolism, nerve health, energy, detoxification, and immune system regulation. B12

levels can be affected by nutrition, genetics, and the gut microbiome. For those who

need B12 support, this is a quick treatment that helps patients feel repleted. Can be

done up to 1x per week or 1x per month but is recommended to consult with a

provider on your individualized schedule.

B - Complete Injection (both locations)

This injection contains all the B-vitamins and is mainly indicated to support energy,

focus, and physiological stress resilience. This injection is usually recommended in a

series of 5 - 6 weekly injections and then 1 injection every other week for another

couple months, then a maintenance injection of once monthly. This is heavily

dependent upon the individual’s current B- vitamin status and nutritional intake. Those

who avoid consuming animal products may need weekly injections regularly.

Metabolic Booster Injection (both locations)

This injection contains B12, Methionine, Inositol, Choline, and Acetyl -L-Carnitine.

These nutrients are helpful for supporting cellular energy production, detoxification,

blood sugar balance, and fat metabolism. This injection is usually recommended in a

series of 6-12 injections ranging from 2x weekly, weekly to every other week followed

by a re-evaluation.

Vitamin D Injection (both locations)

Vitamin D is a shining star in the vitamin world. If you are living in the PNW, you are

likely needing a little sun medicine. Vitamin D injections are great at replenishing the

body without needing to take a supplement every day. Vitamin D is an important player

in maintaining a healthy immune system, boosting mood, and supporting bone health.

Low vitamin D levels are associated with chronic illnesses, depression, anxiety,

autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, and cancer.

Testosterone Injections (Dr. Lisa only, Franklin location only)

Testosterone is a hormone found in every-body no matter the gender. Testosterone

plays a pivotal role in growth and development, sexual function, cognitive function,

muscle building, bone health, sperm health, and much more. Testosterone therapy

may be used in individuals showing clinical signs of suboptimal or low testosterone. At

VWS, we offer testosterone injections administered by Dr. Lisa Bryant.
