VITAMIN D3
Vitamin D is crucial to the building and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Calcium, the primary component of bone, is only properly absorbed by your body when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D is created within the body when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin. There are not many foods that contain vitamin D, but you can find it in fortified milk, fortified cereals, and fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Unfortunately, most people do not get the necessary amount of vitamin D. Therefore, supplementation is needed.
Treatment Details
Vitamin D injection involves administering Vitamin D, one of the most important nutrients for health, directly into the muscle.
How It Works
Many of us don’t get enough vitamin D from food or sunlight, and vitamin pills can be slow to absorb in the body. Injections deliver a high dose of vitamin D directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

Common questions
Who is the Vitamin D3 shot for?
Our Vitamin D3 shot is for anyone looking for a convenient and effective way to maintain healthy vitamin D3 levels without having to take pills every day.
How will this shot help me?
Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients for health — supporting immune function, bone health, and overall wellness. The effects of Vitamin D on promoting a healthy immune system are especially impressive — one major analysis showed that having healthy levels of Vitamin D reduced the risk of viral respiratory infections.
How often should I get it?
For anyone looking to maintain healthy vitamin D levels without the use of daily supplements, we recommend twice monthly injections.
When will I feel the effects?
Most people will take a few weeks or months of therapy to notice a difference, although some people notice effects sooner.
Who is not a candidate for D3 injections?
We do not recommend Vitamin D3 injections for anyone who is pregnant, nursing or consumes more than 10,000 IU of Vitamin D supplementation daily
Injections will be given in the muscle. After sanitizing, your clinician will use their thumb and forefinger to hold the skin tight and administer the shot. After you receive the injection you will remain at the office for 15 minutes to watch for adverse reactions.
The injection is quick, and any soreness will wear off over the next 24 hours.
We recommend getting an injection twice per month to maintain health vitamin D levels.
