Vitamin injections are wellness treatments that involve the administration of key nutrients directly into your body. These injections are given intramuscularly (into a muscle), often in the arm, upper buttocks, or thigh. Even if you eat a healthy diet, you may not get all the nutrients your body needs to function at its best. Some vitamins are hard to absorb or not found in many foods. You may need a specific mix of nutrients to address a personal health issue, or a higher dose you can’t take by mouth. With vitamin injections, you get the nutrient in the exact amount your body needs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient your body uses to make red blood cells and DNA. It’s also necessary for proper function of the nervous system. This vitamin is only naturally found in animal foods and can be hard to absorb for some people.
Timothy provides vitamin B12 injections to boost energy, speed up the metabolism, improve sleep, and support muscle memory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vitamin D3
Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium and keep your bones strong. Most people have a hard time getting enough vitamin D from food. Though your body makes its own vitamin D through sun exposure, this isn’t a good option for everyone.
Timothy offers vitamin D3 injections to boost your blood levels of vitamin D and improve calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 is a form of vitamin D that seems to stay in the blood longer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MICC/LIPO injections
MICC is an acronym for the compounds: L-Methionine, Inositol, Choline and Cyanocobalamin. These are Methionine, Inositol, Choline, Cyanocobalamin. Methionine 25mg, Inositol 50mg, Choline 50mg, Cyanocobalamin 330mcg/ml in benzyl alcohol 2% and sterile water for injection. These lipotropic agents which help with the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body. Often referred to as “fat burning” injections, these components, especially inositol and choline, have been found to improve mental function and feelings of depression.
Ingredients and Their Roles
Methionine: is one of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), Methionine is required for growth and tissue repair. A sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine improves the tone and pliability of skin, hair, and strengthens nails. Involved in many detoxifying processes, sulfur provided by methionine protects cells from pollutants, slows cell aging, and is essential for absorption and bioavailability of selenium and zinc. Methionine chelates heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, aiding their excretion. It also acts as a lipotropic agent and prevents excess fat buildup in the liver. As SAMe (S-adenysylmethionine), methionine has been considered an antidepressant.
Inositol: is a small molecule with structural similarity to glucose. It is a vitamin-like compound (pseudovitamin) that is sometimes said to belong to the class of B- complex vitamins and it is involved in cellular signalling and as a component of cell membranes.
Choline: is important as a precursor of acetylcholine, as a methyl donor in various metabolic processes, and in lipid metabolism and prevents excessive fat build up in the liver.
Cyanocobalamin: Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is necessary for hematopoiesis, neural metabolism, DNA and RNA production, carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. B12 improves iron functions in the metabolic cycle and assists folic acid in choline synthesis.The MICC injection contains methionine, inositol, choline, and vitamin B12. Timothy recommends the MICC injection to help with weight loss, boost metabolism, and increase energy. These vitamin injections also support liver detox and muscle recovery.
