Vitamin Injections Guide: B12, Vitamin D & Glutathione Compared

Vitamin injections are the quickest treatments we offer — in and out in minutes — but people often aren’t sure which shot does what. Here’s the simple breakdown.

Why injections instead of pills?

A vitamin shot delivers the nutrient directly, bypassing the digestive system. For nutrients that absorb poorly from pills (or for people whose absorption is limited), that direct route can be meaningfully more efficient. Each shot takes just a few minutes and is administered by Crystal Simm, RPN, after a quick health review.

The three core shots

B12 — the energy one

Vitamin B12 supports energy metabolism, nerve function, and red blood cell formation. It’s the go-to for people feeling run-down, and especially relevant for vegetarians and vegans (B12 comes mostly from animal foods). $49.99 — full B12 guide · service page.

Vitamin D — the winter one

Your body makes vitamin D from sunlight — in short supply here from fall through spring. A vitamin D shot supports immunity, mood, and bone health through the darker months. $55 — full vitamin D guide · service page.

Glutathione — the skin one

Glutathione is a master antioxidant your body produces naturally; people choose it to support a brighter, more even-looking complexion and overall antioxidant balance. From $60 — full glutathione guide · service page.

Shots vs. IV drips

Shots are quick, targeted, and easy to slot into a routine. IV therapy delivers a broader blend (fluids + multiple nutrients) over a relaxed 30–60 minute session — think of drips as the fuller reset and shots as the efficient top-up. Many clients use both: drips occasionally, shots on a regular schedule.

An honest note

Vitamin injections support your body’s normal processes — they’re not a diagnosis or a cure, and ongoing fatigue is always worth raising with your family doctor too. Crystal reviews your health history before any injection and will tell you plainly what’s appropriate.
