Ideally, every person would be eating a fully nutritious and balanced diet that gave them everything they needed to remain healthy and thrive every day. Unfortunately, though, that becomes less and less of a reality the more convenient our lives become. Fast food and dining out have reduced the amount of time we need to spend getting food to live but at the cost of having meals that do not provide even a fraction of the vitamins and nutrients needed to be healthy.

With our busy schedules, it is unreasonable and unrealistic to ask anyone to sit down and plan out a meal or meals that would provide 100% of their nutritional needs. Even nutritionists, whose job is to monitor dietary health, would struggle to make an all-encompassing plan. Multivitamins help close some of the gaps between nutritional needs and intake, but even those have their limitations.

This is where nutrient injections thrive as an ideal solution — selected vitamins and minerals injected directly into the muscle systems do not experience the same loss of concentration that regularly occur in the digestive tract. The result is much higher doses of particular vitamins than would be achievable through diet or supplements.

But how does this help us? Well, there are countless benefits that nutrient injections can provide, but here is a list of 9 of the most common reasons people choose to continue nutrient injections.

1. Increased Metabolism 

When it comes to weight loss and a boost in metabolism, Lipo-C injections are usually the most effective options. There are many components of Lipo-C injections: MIC (methionine, inositol and choline0, which optimizes the liver’s processing of fatty acids, improves the transportation of fat and prevents fatty deposits from landing throughout the body, respectively, Carnitine B1 and B5. If you need a bit of an extra boost to help get you over a weight loss slump, this injection will do the trick.  

2. Athletic Performance

To compete at peak levels, your body needs all of the essential nutrients that help it function as designed. Even with professional nutritionists and chefs creating healthy meals, you aren’t always guaranteed to hit those ideal levels. GAC (glutamine, arginine and carnitine) nutrient injections can help fill the gaps caused by a lack of holistic dietary choices and ensure that you give as strong a performance as possible when it matters most. 

3. Improved Recovery

After hitting those peak levels of performance, your body will funnel a ton of its resources into healing parts of your body that were damaged. Since the quality of your healing is directly related to your overall health and wellness, having deficiencies can create lapses in your healing process. In order to ensure rapid and complete recovery, it may be necessary to undergo nutrient injections like GAC or TrAmino to fill your body with the vitamins it needs for this critical process. 

4. Boosted Immune System

In addition to helping mend your body after physical strain has been caused, a host of different injection options are available to help boost your internal immune system and make you more resistant to illness. Glutathione is one of the best nutrients to bolster that immune system. Your body can only absorb a finite amount through consumption, so the extra boost in nutrients directly into your muscle means you are giving yourself the greatest odds against getting sick and fighting off the illness if you do find yourself in that circumstance.

5. Detoxification

As it turns out, glutathione is made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate and glycine. It is an essential nutrient to have because, in addition to boosting your immune system, it can also help detoxify your body. Detoxification is a critical step when you are looking to change your health and want to find a way to give your body a jump start in the right direction. 

6. More Energy

Vitamin B12 is a household name at this point — and for good reason. It provides a clean, healthy boost in energy without having to reach for sugary caffeinated drinks. B12 is also an essential part of your body’s ability to properly digest and absorb food, which means the food you put into your body will be more efficiently turned into energy when your B12 levels are up. If you want to couple this with a little fat burning boost, Skinny B12 has that little extra added cherry on top.

7. Muscle Growth

Branch Chain Amino Acids is a long name for an injection with a pretty simple, but impactful, effect: the improvement of muscle growth over time. BCAAs are composed of leucine, isoleucine and valine, substances that can help increase your gains from the gym or recover some dilapidated muscle tone from falling off a routine or lifestyle changes. 

8. Acquire Antioxidants

You hear a lot about how antioxidants and injections that provide antioxidants like glutathione (considered to be the master antioxidant) are important. But why are they important? What do they actually do? Well, your body is full of these little things called free radicals, which contribute to heart disease, cancers and many other health conditions. Antioxidants are your body’s tools to fight away those free radicals and subsequently help prevent those major illnesses from developing.

9. Healthier Skin, Nails and Hair

If you find yourself with lackluster skin, nail or hair integrity and are looking for a way to improve your body’s healthy production of these cells, biotin plays a critical role in that core bodily function. It is used in a wide range of topical applications and supplements, but having it injected directly into your system can provide a much more noticeable result.
