Vitamin Therapy Faqs

Why not just take vitamin pills?

There are many different varieties of vitamin pills on the market. The problem is that many people in this country do not absorb vitamins from their stomach very well. A large percentage of Malaysians are on zantac, ranitidine, pepcid, omeprazole, prilosec, or other pills that decrease absorption of vitamins from the stomach and intestines. Coeliac disease and irritable bowel syndrome also play a role in vitamin deficiency. When vitamin therapy is given IV or the intramuscular route, the vitamins are absorbed very well, as this delivery route does not depend on the stomach or intestines.

Does it hurt?

We use extremely small needles and IV’s, as well as numbing medicine, so it is virtually pain free!

Does it take long?

No, the B12 shots take about 5 seconds to administer. You will be in and out in less than five minutes. The IV vitamin therapies take approximately 30 minutes or less.

What kind of results can I expect?

With the vitamin therapy, most people notice an increased energy level and overall better feeling. Proper vitamin levels are necessary for proper metabolism, cortisol levels, and sleep patterns. Vitamin therapy can also support the immune system, which is important in the winter months and holidays, when stress levels are high.

Is it safe?

Yes, vitamin therapy is very safe when administered by my experienced medical staff. We use top quality supplies and all of our staff are fully trained and licensed.
