Why Get an Intramuscular Vitamin Injection?
There are many research studies that show that many of us are deficient in various vitamins and minerals. IM Vitamin shots are a great way to get your body back on track! IM Vitamin absorption through the bloodstream can be more efficiently utilized by the body, whether by injection into a muscle or infusion directly into the bloodstream. Absorption through your digestive system, while also very effective is slower and often requires more frequent dosage. Spoken Med Spa offers all three options—IM Vitamin Injections, IV Vitamin Infusions, and Vitamin Supplements.
​
IM Vitamin Injections are great for those with busy schedules who want to be in and out in 15 minutes or less. You may receive multiple IM vitamin shots per day, which will be administered in different injection sites. If you have questions about which injections pair well together toward addressing your goals, please call or text before booking.

Why choose intramuscular vitamin shots over oral vitamins?
Intramuscular (IM) vitamin shots are administered directly into the muscle. This means the vitamin will get absorbed by the muscle and blood vessels directly. Oral vitamins must get broken down by the GI tract (through the stomach, and intestines) and then go through the liver for metabolizing. Anyone who has a poor diet, GI disorder, gut dysbiosis (imbalanced gut microbiome), or gut inflammation will not be able to absorb oral vitamins. IM vitamin shots bypass the gut and 90% or more of the vitamin is absorbed by the body. Vitamin shots are more bioavailable and the body can utilize them better.
IM Vitamin Shots at Spoken Med Spa
Step 1: Check-in
After checking in for your appointment, the nurse will take you into an office for privacy. Some injections that are smaller in volume can be given in the arm or deltoid muscle, however, large-volume injections like our metabolism booster must be given in a larger muscle such as the dorsogluteal site located on the outer aspect of your buttocks near your hip. Rest assured all of our registered nurses are professional and have cared for a wide array of people in the hospital setting for a number of years before transitioning to Spoken Med Spa.
Step 2: Treatment
Next, the area will be cleaned with alcohol prep and then numbed with an ethyl alcohol spray which feels cold and tingly! Our hope is that you feel as little discomfort as possible. Some clients describe a pinch or dull ache upon injection. Afterward, we’ll hold pressure and apply a bandage per your preference. Your comfort and privacy is of utmost importance. We will get you into a comfortable position with the injection site exposed.
Step 3: Results
Afterward, we’ll hold pressure and apply a bandage per your preference. That’s it! You can receive more than one IM injection in the same visit, but we’ll have to rotate sites to promote the best absorption of the vitamin components. We recommend gently massaging the site if you notice any sensation, but there is no additional aftercare needed. If you have questions or concerns, our nurses would be happy to address them!
