Vitamin & Booster Injections

Did you know with oral supplements we absorb only about 20% of what is ingested?

Vitamin and Booster Injections deliver concentrated nutrients directly into the body without relying on absorption through the digestive system.

Bare Beauty Clinic offers several injection options in Etobicoke, Toronto, including Vitamin B12, Glutathione, Phoslim, Shape Up, and Triple Defense.

Absorption Efficiency

When vitamins are injected, they bypass the digestive system, allowing for direct absorption into the bloodstream. This ensures higher bioavailability and immediate delivery of nutrients. With oral supplements, the body may only absorb a portion of the nutrients due to factors like digestive enzymes, gut health, and food interactions.

Rapid Results

Injections provide faster results since the vitamins are quickly circulated throughout the body. This is beneficial in situations where a person needs an immediate boost, such as severe vitamin deficiencies or specific health conditions.

Larger Doses

Certain vitamins, especially fat-soluble ones like vitamin B12 or vitamin D, can be difficult to absorb in sufficient quantities through oral intake alone. Injections allow for higher doses to be administered without the risk of them being lost during digestion.

Avoiding Gastrointestinal Issues

Some people have trouble absorbing vitamins orally due to conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or other gastrointestinal disorders. Injections help bypass these absorption challenges.

However, for most people, oral supplements are convenient and sufficient. Injections are typically recommended in cases of deficiencies, medical conditions, or when higher doses are required under a healthcare professional’s supervision.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.

Energy Boost

Helps combat fatigue and supports overall energy levels.

Nerve Health

Crucial for maintaining healthy nerve cells and preventing neuropathy.

Mood Regulation

Linked to mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Dosage

The typical dosage for B12 injections varies based on individual needs, but it often ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 micrograms per injection.

How Often

Many individuals receive B12 injections monthly, though those with deficiencies may require more frequent doses (weekly or bi-weekly) initially.

Important Information:

B12 injections are particularly beneficial for vegetarians, vegans, and older adults, who may have difficulty absorbing this vitamin through food. Or for those individuals who are vegans and vegetarians and diets high in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced by the liver and found in every cell of the body, composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamine, and glycine.

Antioxidant Power

Protects cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage.

Detoxification

Supports liver function and helps eliminate toxins.

Skin Health

Promotes a brighter complexion and may reduce the appearance of dark spots.

Anti-aging

Numerous articles show that it helps to slow down the aging process.

Dosage

Glutathione injections typically range from 100 to 200 micrograms per injection.

How Often

Injections can be administered bi-weekly or monthly, depending on individual needs and the advice of a healthcare professional.

Important Information:

While glutathione is naturally produced by the body, supplementation can be particularly useful for those with chronic illnesses or heightened oxidative stress.

Phoslim

Phoslim is a specialized formulation that combines phosphatidylcholine, and Sodium Deoxycholate (PSDC). PCSD are two naturally occurring substances in the human body that have been used in combination to treat a variety of cosmetic and medical conditions. In the context of lipolysis, PC is thought to work by promoting the breakdown of fat cells and aiding in the removal of fat from the body. SD is a bile acid that is also naturally produced in the body and is involved in the digestion and absorption of fats. The combination of PC and SD is thought to have a synergistic effect in promoting the breakdown and removal of fat cells.

Localized Fat Loss

Aids in the breakdown of fat cells, making it popular among those looking to lose weight for targeted areas i.e., hips, abdomen, thighs, under chin, and more.

Reduce Cellulite

Enhances body contours.

Tightens Skin

Tightens the appearance of the skin and areas of treatment.

Dosage

The recommended dosage is 0.2ml of the solution per cm2 of the area to be treated. Up to 1 ml is required per treatment area.

How Often

Most individuals benefit from monthly injections, especially when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.

Important Information:

While PCSD can assist with weight loss, it should be part of a comprehensive wellness plan and not a standalone solution.

Shape Up

Contains Thiamine, pyridoxine, L-carnitine, Choline Chloride, Inositol, Methionine, Cyanocobalamin. This concoction includes several B vitamins and amino acids that support metabolism and energy levels, which can effectively assist with weight loss.

Thiamine (Vitamin B1)

Thiamine plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and is essential for the functioning of carbohydrates in the body. It helps convert nutrients into energy.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)

Pyridoxine is involved in protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and red blood cell production. It supports overall metabolic functions.

L-Carnitine

This amino acid derivative is crucial for transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. It’s often marketed for weight loss and improved athletic performance.

Choline Chloride

Choline is essential for liver function, brain development, muscle movement, and metabolism. It aids in the transport of fats.

Inositol

Inositol is involved in cellular signaling and plays a role in fat metabolism. It’s also linked to insulin sensitivity.

Methionine

This essential amino acid is crucial for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor to important molecules like SAMe, which is involved in mood regulation and detoxification.

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)

This vitamin is vital for red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and neurological function. It also plays a role in energy metabolism.

Dosage

The recommended dosage is 0.5 ml of the solution.

How Often

Most individuals benefit from monthly injections, especially when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.

Important Information:

While Shape Up can assist with weight loss, it should be part of a comprehensive wellness plan and not a standalone solution. Consult with your physician and medical health provider before receiving this injection to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment.

Triple Defense

The combination of Glutathione, Ascorbic Acid, and Zinc Sulfate provides comprehensive immune support due to their high antioxidant properties and roles in immune function. Together these nutrients help prevent oxidative stress and inflammation.

Glutathione

It enhances the immune response by promoting the proliferation of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and reducing inflammation in the body. Glutathione also protects cells from oxidative stress and eliminates toxins found in the body. Adequate glutathione levels can improve the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

Vitamin C enhances the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells, improving their function, and reducing the severity and duration of infections.

Zinc Sulfate

Zinc has been shown to reduce the duration and severity of respiratory infections, particularly the common cold. It plays a role in the activation of T-lymphocytes (T-cells), which are critical for the adaptive immune response.

Dosage

The recommended dosage is 0.5 ml of the solution.

How Often

Most individuals benefit from monthly injections. Especially during flu seasons or during seasonal changes.

Important Information:

Consult with your physician and medical health provider before receiving this injection.

NADCreation

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme that plays an important role in metabolism and energy production in cells. Studies suggest that it has the potential to slow down the aging process. As well, research shows that NAD has been linked to supporting DNA repair and promoting genomic stability. It is also suggest that NAD may contribute to neuroprotection and help mitigate neurodegenerative conditions.

Anti-aging remedy

Shown to activate the processes which elongate our telomeres, which in essence turns back the cellular aging clock. This is a direct anti-aging effect of plentiful cellular NAD levels.

Promotes normal circadian rhythm for sleep

Helps support healthy sleep cycles, not by inducing sleep but by helping to repair normal cellular function.
