Benefits of IM (Intramuscular) Injections
Intramuscular (IM) injections deliver vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients directly into the muscle, allowing for rapid absorption and higher bioavailability than oral supplements. Unlike pills that must pass through the digestive system, IM shots ensure your body gets the full benefit of every dose.
Fast absorption: Nutrients enter the bloodstream quickly for near-immediate results.
Higher bioavailability: Avoids breakdown in the digestive tract for better nutrient delivery.
Enhanced energy and mood: B12, NAD⁺, and amino acid shots can improve focus, vitality, and metabolism.
Supports immune function: Vitamin C and immune-boosting blends help strengthen your natural defenses.
Promotes recovery and performance: Great for athletes or anyone managing stress or fatigue.
Convenient and efficient: Most injections take less than 5 minutes with little to no downtime.
iM Shots Frequently Asked Questions
What are IM injections used for?
IM injections are used to deliver vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients that support energy, metabolism, immune health, muscle recovery, and overall wellness. Common injections include Vitamin B12, Lipo Slim, Vitamin D, Glutathione, and NAD⁺
How are IM shots different from IV therapy?
IM shots are a quick injection into the muscle, typically taking just a few minutes, while IV therapy delivers nutrients slowly through a vein over 30–60 minutes. IM shots are ideal for quick energy or vitamin boosts, whereas IV drips can hydrate and deliver larger doses.
How long do IM injections take to work?
Most clients begin to feel effects within hours to a day after their injection. Results depend on the nutrient blend and your body’s needs — for example, energy from B12 may be noticed the same day, while immune or recovery benefits may build over several sessions.
How often should I get IM injections?
Frequency varies depending on your wellness goals. Some clients come weekly for energy or metabolism support, while others schedule monthly maintenance shots. Your provider can help create a personalized plan.
Are IM shots safe?
Yes. When administered by trained medical professionals using sterile technique and high-quality ingredients, IM injections are very safe. Mild soreness or redness at the injection site is possible but typically resolves within a few hours.
Do IM injections hurt?
Most clients experience only mild discomfort — similar to a quick flu shot. The procedure is fast, and the benefits often outweigh the brief sensation.
