What are IM injections?
Vitamin IM Injections, also known as intramuscular nutrient therapy is a form of nutrition therapy where vitamins, minerals, and Lipotropics are delivered via intramuscular injection. Although oral supplementation can positively impact health, absorption of oral nutrients by individuals with digestive disorders or sluggish digestion may be impaired.
Intramuscular nutrient therapy bypasses a poor digestive system by placing the nutrient(s) into the muscle, allowing for a better route into circulation. As a result, nutrients are absorbed more quickly and are therefore more easily utilized. The enhanced absorption of nutrients into the cells ultimately means that you will have healthier cells.
What can injectable vitamins & aminos do for you?
Here at A Healthier You Wellness Center, one of our specialties are Injectable amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein in our body. They are an essential element of health and have several functions. The benefit of injectable amino acids is that they bypass the stomach which allows for increased absorption and efficacy when injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Several of the benefits include:
Increases energy
Maximizes cardiovascular and muscle health, while accelerating wound healing and recovery
Promotes natural growth hormone production
Improves memory and brain function
Bolsters immune function
Reduces body fat and increases lean muscle mass

Injection Ingredients
Glutathione
Glutathione is a naturally occurring substance that acts as a detoxifier, an antioxidant and an immune system booster. It’s the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease. It can help your body repair damage caused by stress, pollution, radiation, infection, drugs, poor diet, aging, injury, trauma, and burns by reducing oxidative stress, free radicals and chronic inflammation in your body.
Glutathione can help improve aging, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease and more. A high level of glutathione is critical for recovery from exercise and nearly all chronic illnesses as well as maintaining peak mental and physical function. Research has shown that elevated glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.
Keeping yourself healthy, boosting your immune system, performance, preventing disease and aging well depends on keeping your glutathione levels high.
L-Glutamine
is a natural neurotransmitter that helps chemicals in the brain transmit information. It can help improve memory, alertness, and the ability to focus. It also increases your ability to secrete human growth hormone, which helps to metabolize body fat While promoting new muscle growth. Its anti-catabolic properties help prevent the breakdown of existing muscles. This is Particularly useful when you’re trying to get rid of body fat without losing muscle mass.
L-Arginine
An essential amino acid that is needed for normal body function and healing. L-Arginine stimulates the release of growth hormone, insulin, and increases blood flow. L-Arginine is converted in the body into nitric oxide which the body uses to relax blood vessels. When blood vessels are relaxed, blood flow to the heart, brain, and muscles increases. Subsequently, L-Arginine is helpful for erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the genital area and also helps with male infertility. Relaxed blood vessels also help remove the buildup of lactic acid aiding in muscle repair. Since L-Arginine improves the balance of nitrogen, it allows the body to convert more protein into muscle. Extra lean muscle mass helps to burn fat, even when you’re not active.
L-Carnitine
Converts fat to fuel, decreases lactic acid production, increases lean muscle and metabolism, burns fat and boosts stamina and endurance. L-Carnitine is an essential nutrient for heart health and proper brain function. It also decreases triglycerides and total cholesterol levels while increasing HDL (good cholesterol levels). L-Carnitine may help muscle movement, male fertility, and many other bodily processes. It also helps the body function by assisting in the removal of toxic compounds from the cells.
Thiamine (B1)
Thiamine, ensures healthy cell reproduction. It has also been reported to possess anti-stress properties, in addition to the ability to boost your immune system.

Riboflavin is essential for the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which is responsible for ensuring that the rest of your body’s cells receive the oxygen that they require. Riboflavin has also been linked with the potential prevention of early aging, in addition to the ability to reduce your risk of heart disease
Niacinamide (B3)
Niacin increase the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. The higher your HDL levels are, the lower your overall cholesterol ratio is which means lowering the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Studies have shown that Niacin may be able to treat skin conditions such as acne.
Dexpanthenol (B5)
Dexpanthenol also known as pantothenic acid, Is responsible for breaking down fats and carbohydrates for energy. Dexpanthenol is also important in the production of hormones such as testosterone.
Pyridoxine (B6)
Pyridoxine plays a major role in helping the immune system. Pyridoxine also helps mood and sleep patterns because it helps the body produce serotonin, melatonin and norepinephrine, a stress hormone.
Methionine
An antioxidant amino acid that neutralizes free radicals and is important for many body functions. It prevents excess fat build up in the liver and the body, and helps with digestion. Methionine is also helpful in reliving of preventing fatigue and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces histamine release. It is one of the important amino acids that increase energy and lean muscle mass.
Inositol
Inositol’s primary function is to keep fat from collecting in the body, particularly in the liver. Inositol is added to some energy drinks because of its efficiency in converting nutrients into energy.
