This is an exciting installment of the IM shot series! Vitamin C is in almost all of our drips because it is just that good! We frequently have patients who request an extra or high dose. Here is everything you need to know about the vitamin C shot and how it can benefit you during your next appointment.

In the end, this antioxidant protects the body from free radicals and improves so many functions. It is an essential vitamin that the body needs to perform optimally. When deficient in vitamin C, individuals experience adverse effects.
Vitamin C shots will likely always be beneficial; however, there are times where they are particularly beneficial. Some of these times could be during times of increased stress, such as periods of illness or high physical activity. They can also be a great option for individuals with dietary restrictions or absorption issues that may hinder their ability to get an adequate amount of Vitamin C through food alone. For example, the stomach bug, flu, or surgery recovery can impact the nutrients individuals are able to receive.
Times when a Vitamin C shot may be most beneficial can sometimes be those times where it’s difficult to get, even with a pill. Taking a vitamin C shot completely bypasses the immune system and puts the antioxidant into the muscular tissue where the body can make use of it right away.
If you have absorption issues or if there is an issue preventing you from effectively taking pills, an IM shot is likely a better alternative. If you’re experiencing a situation where a pill won’t work, take a look at some of our other IM shots such as a B12 energy shot, glutathione shot, or b complex shot.

We also find that our nurses, who have incredible bedside manners, are able to put patients at ease while administering either a shot or an IV.
