About vitamin injections

Why choose injections over oral supplements?

Oral supplements are limited by gastrointestinal absorption, which varies considerably between individuals. Intramuscular vitamin delivery bypasses this limitation entirely, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream at full bioavailability. This is particularly significant for B12 in patients with absorption issues, and for rapid correction of deficiencies.

All injections at Veritas are preceded by a clinical assessment. We do not administer injections without first reviewing your health history and confirming clinical appropriateness.

Blood test first? We recommend testing for deficiency before starting a vitamin injection programme. Our blood test service covers all relevant vitamins and minerals.

15–30 minutes

Every injection is preceded by a review of your health history and current medications.

FAQs

Vitamin injection FAQs.

Do I need a blood test before having a vitamin injection?
This depends on which injection. Vitamin D treatment cannot be given without a test confirming deficiency first, this is a strict clinical pathway. If you would prefer to check your level without committing to treatment in the same visit, a standalone Vitamin D blood test is also available. B12 does not require a test beforehand, though one can help confirm whether it is actually needed. See each injection’s own page for full details.
Can I just have the Vitamin D blood test without the injection?
Yes. If you would rather check your level first without committing to treatment in the same visit, our standalone Vitamin D blood test covers this. Should your result show a deficiency, you can then book the test and treat service separately when you are ready.
Are vitamin injections safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained clinician after appropriate assessment. All injections at Veritas are preceded by a clinical review. Adverse reactions are rare. You may be asked to remain for a short period after each injection.
How often do I need injections?
This depends on the vitamin and your clinical need. Your pharmacist will advise on the appropriate frequency at your appointment, based on your blood test result where relevant.
Can I have both injections on the same visit?
This may be possible depending on clinical appropriateness. Your pharmacist will advise on what is safe to combine at a single visit.
