IM Injections

What is an IM Injection

An intramuscular injection is a technique used to deliver medication or micronutrients deep into the muscles. This allows the medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly.

Some of our micronutrients can be given IM or intramuscular if you are running shot on time this could be a great option for you.

Choose Your Micronutrients

We will give you a few options for your needs and educate you on each micronutrient.

Once your nutrients are selected a Nurse will draw up your injection. Injections are typically given in the hip/buttock area do to the consistency or the nutrients. We will provide you privacy during your injection, and monitor you for 15-20 minutes to make sure you don't have any reactions.

How Frequently Can I Receive an Injection?

This all depends on the micronutrient. Each micronutrient has a different protocol. Some can be given 2x's/week, 1/week, or every 8 weeks.
