What's In The Shots?
C B INJECTIONS – THE MULTIPURPOSE MOLECULE
Many people are seeking natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals with harsh side effects. By aligning with the body's natural processes, it can provide relief for chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and more. This compound offers great potential due to its high safety profile and non-addictive nature, but for effectiveness, it must reach the endocannabinoid system, which requires absorption into the bloodstream—a process known as bioavailability.
Intramuscular injections bypass the digestive system, ensuring higher absorption and better efficacy compared to oral methods like drops or capsules. Oral ingestion often results in low bioavailability (6-19%) as digestive enzymes and liver metabolism reduce the amount that reaches the bloodstream. Injections allow for higher concentrations and faster relief.
Common Questions:
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme vital to key physiological processes. As we age, NAD+ levels drop, leading to fatigue, but NAD+ Therapy can help restore energy by delivering it directly into the bloodstream for maximum benefits. Here’s how NAD+ Therapy can improve your health:
Supports Addiction Recovery
NAD+ aids in flushing drugs from the system, easing withdrawal symptoms, reducing cravings, and boosting natural energy levels during addiction recovery.
Enhances Cognitive Function
NAD+ Injections stimulate brain function, helping improve mental clarity, focus, and memory by promoting energy production in brain cells.
Assists Weight Management
By stimulating ATP production, NAD+ helps maintain a healthy metabolism, making it easier to manage weight in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise.
Boosts Energy
NAD+ helps convert food into usable energy, increasing stamina and reducing fatigue, making it ideal for combating jet lag or everyday exhaustion.
Improves Muscle Development and Recovery
NAD+ boosts energy for workouts and aids muscle repair, speeding up recovery times and enhancing athletic performance.
Helps with Pain Management
NAD+ reduces inflammation, a major cause of pain, providing a non-addictive alternative for managing discomfort.
Improves Mood
By increasing serotonin production, NAD+ helps regulate mood, alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Vitamin B12, or methylcobalamin, is a vital B-vitamin found in foods like fish, meats, and dairy. It plays a crucial role in cell growth, red blood cell formation, and nerve function. While a deficiency is rare, it’s more common in the elderly, vegans, and people with malabsorption issues. Untreated B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, digestive problems, and irreversible nerve damage.
Unlike plants and animals, only bacteria and archaea can produce methylcobalamin. This makes animal products a better source of B12 compared to plant-based foods. B12 is needed for essential functions like DNA synthesis, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and maintaining healthy nerves.
Methylcobalamin vs. Cyanocobalamin
Many doctors and weight-loss clinics use cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form of B12. It’s cheaper, more stable, and easier to store, but the body absorbs less of it. The body must convert cyanocobalamin, releasing cyanide molecules in the process, which results in lower absorption rates (only 20%). Methylcobalamin, on the other hand, is natural, immediately bioavailable, and achieves up to 96% absorption, making it much more effective.
We use a 5mg dose of methylcobalamin, compared to the standard 1mg doses at most clinics. This higher dose means fewer visits and better overall results.
Why B12 Matters
While many seek B12 for energy and metabolism, it has far-reaching benefits:
What to Expect
Results vary based on deficiency levels. If severely deficient, you may feel tired as your body jumpstarts its systems. Acne can also occur, signaling your immune system is back in action. These are normal reactions, and staying hydrated can help. Some may feel the benefits immediately, while others may notice them after a few days. We recommend at least three rounds of shots to allow your body to adjust. Improved mood, better sleep, and mental clarity are good signs the shots are working.
Many pair the B12 shot with a Lipo shot for added benefits, but both are effective on their own.
Isoleucine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), along with leucine and valine. It plays a moderate role in muscle protein synthesis, stronger than valine but weaker than leucine. However, its key benefit is enhancing glucose uptake and utilization during exercise, though it does not promote glycogen synthesis. Isoleucine is essential for glucose metabolism, making it a potential aid for those with diabetes or athletes looking to optimize performance.
Leucine
Leucine is another essential BCAA that supports energy production in skeletal muscles during exercise. It’s known for its ability to improve exercise performance, promote muscle growth, and aid recovery. Leucine helps increase lean body mass, boost human growth hormone (HGH) production, and improve skin and bone healing. Additionally, it assists in controlling blood sugar levels.
Valine
Valine is an essential BCAA, necessary for muscle protein synthesis and tissue repair. While it doesn't build muscle alone, when combined with leucine and isoleucine, valine plays a crucial role in muscle development. It also helps transport glucose to stressed muscles and supports brain function, improving sleep quality—a bonus for those who struggle with insomnia.
Arginine
Arginine is vital for producing nitric oxide, which regulates blood flow, reduces blood pressure, supports mitochondrial function, and enhances cellular communication. Increased nitric oxide helps improve muscle oxygenation and exercise performance. Arginine has been studied for its benefits in treating conditions like erectile dysfunction, heart disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and improving glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Research suggests that arginine may help reduce the risk of diabetes.
GABA is a neurotransmitter that slows brain activity by blocking specific signals in the central nervous system. It's known for producing a calming effect and plays a key role in reducing nerve cell hyperactivity related to anxiety, stress, and fear.
Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium is vital for the normal function of the heart, kidneys, muscles, and other organs. It regulates blood pressure, blood glucose, and supports other nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and zinc. Found in nuts, leafy greens, and whole grains, magnesium supports heart health and may even aid in long-term heart disease prevention. Other forms of magnesium supplements include magnesium citrate and gluconate.
Taurine
Taurine plays an important role in the function of the heart and brain, aiding nerve growth and supporting cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and calming the nervous system. This makes it especially beneficial for individuals with heart failure.
Theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves and certain mushrooms. It promotes a state of relaxed alertness, reducing stress and anxiety without causing drowsiness. This makes it useful for improving focus, relaxation, and sleep quality.
Arginine is an essential amino acid that aids in the production of nitric oxide, a molecule important for various bodily functions such as regulating blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and improving mitochondrial function and cellular communication. By increasing nitric oxide, arginine improves oxygen delivery to muscles, enhancing exercise performance. Research supports its use in managing conditions like preeclampsia, erectile dysfunction, heart disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, a study showed that arginine supplementation in people with impaired blood sugar regulation reduced the risk of diabetes over time.
Choline
Choline plays a critical role in brain development, memory, cognition, and overall health. Higher levels of choline are associated with better cognitive performance, particularly in older adults. Choline also supports heart health by reducing the risk of ischemic stroke, according to a study of nearly 4,000 African Americans. It aids in fat metabolism, helping to regulate body weight. Choline is essential during pregnancy for fetal brain development and may reduce the risk of preeclampsia. Studies also show choline improves lung function and reduces fatty liver symptoms in cystic fibrosis patients.
Glutathione
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects against a variety of health issues, including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue syndrome, liver disease, and Parkinson’s. It helps detoxify the body, supports immune function, and reduces oxidative damage. Glutathione can improve psoriasis, enhance insulin resistance, and support mobility in people with peripheral artery disease. It also reduces inflammation in autoimmune diseases and oxidative damage in children with autism. Additionally, it helps detoxify harmful substances like mercury, regenerates vitamins C and E, and supports DNA synthesis and cell health.
