I Keep Getting Sick; Can Vitamin Injections Help?
If you find yourself under the weather every few weeks or months, you’ve probably spent time researching what you can do to reduce your sick days. One of the first steps you should take is scheduling a visit with Terry L. Franklin, MD, for a comprehensive health assessment.
It’s important to check for any underlying health conditions that might be causing recurring illness.
Dr. Franklin can suggest some steps to boost your overall health and strengthen your immune system. For many Monterey, California residents, vitamin injections are part of that process.
What are the benefits of vitamin injections?
You can absolutely get the vitamins and minerals your body needs through your diet. Doing so, though, requires extensive time planning, shopping for, and preparing healthful meals each day. This may not be an achievable goal for your busy life.
You can try supplements, but research shows that a substantial portion of supplement tablets pass through the digestive system. That means you are literally flushing your hard-earned dollars down the toilet.
Vitamin injections work by delivering top-quality micronutrients directly into your bloodstream. This makes the vitamins immediately available, without ever entering your digestive tract.
Our patients love them because the injections deliver noticeable improvements, and we love them because they ensure the patient is getting a precise and measurable volume of micronutrients.
How can vitamin injections boost my immune system?
Research shows that vitamins are essential in all of your body’s systems. But when it comes to immune health, vitamin B12 is especially important. Many people are deficient in vitamin B12, and vitamins in general. Supplementation can bring your levels up, ensuring your body is primed to perform at peak levels.
Dr. Franklin offers a variety of vitamin injections, including B12 shots. Our practice also offers vitamin injections tailored for a number of different needs, including:
- Inflammation
- Anxiety and stress
- Weight loss
- Blood sugar regulation
- Gastrointestinal health
When you arrive for your visit, Dr. Franklin reviews your health history and helps you choose the vitamin injection that is best aligned with your needs.
Preparing for and recovering from vitamin injections
When it comes to vitamin injections, there is nothing special you need to do to prepare. You can eat a normal meal before your visit, and you don’t have to change anything about your routines. Let Dr. Franklin know about any medications you’re taking so he can ensure your vitamin injections don’t affect your drug therapy.
There’s also no need for downtime after a vitamin injection. You can return to your normal routines right away. In fact, many people have their injections during their lunch break and then head back to work.
If you have additional questions or concerns about the role that vitamin injections can play in your immune health, reach out to us at the private practice of Terry L. Franklin, MD, online or over the phone, to schedule a visit. We’re located in Monterey, California.
