Vitamin B IV therapy can be done discreetly, with minimal side effects and no recovery time, Learn how it acts, its safety ratings, and how it’s different from similar Vitamin B treatments.
What are B group vitamins?
The B group of vitamins is a group of eight water-soluble vitamins. Also known as “B complex,” this group of nutrients encompasses eight nutrients that are essential to health.
Just like all other vitamins, the body cannot produce B vitamins, so they must come from external sources. And yet, each vitamin in the group is necessary to accomplish different tasks:
- Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is used to metabolize carbohydrates and build amino acids.
- Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is necessary to carry energy into each cell.
- Niacin and niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps regulate cholesterol and carry energy to the brain.
- Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) triggers the production of proteins and collagen.
- Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) regulates the hair growth cycle, strengthens nails, and lowers blood glucose levels.
- Biotin (Vitamin B7) turns fat storage into usable energy and helps produce collagen.
- Folic acid (Vitamin B9) helps ensure that DNA is copied correctly while cells are dividing.
- Cobalamin and cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) are used to make red blood cells and protect nerve endings and brains cells.
What happens when you lack B group vitamins?
Since the body cannot produce its own B vitamins, dietary deficiencies can range from nuisances to serious problems. This includes:
- Crushing fatigue
- Hair loss
- Brittle nails
- Saggy and lackluster skin
- General malaise
- Memory lapses
- Slow-healing skin lesions
Many vitamins in this group interact between each other or with other nutrients. As a result, lack of B vitamins can. for example, cancel the effects of vitamin C supplements.
In addition, lack of vitamin B12 can cause megaloblastic anemia and increase your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Why am I missing vitamins?
Nowadays, we are used to thinking of malnutrition and dietary deficiencies as a thing of the past. As a result, we frequently see patients react with disbelief when we point out that their symptoms are caused by a lack of B complex.
And yet, eating well is often not enough! When we digest food, our stomach acids often destroy many of the micronutrients we eat before we get a chance to absorb them. Plus, our ability to absorb B complex can also be damaged by regular aging, chronic problems with the digestive system, and even side effects of some medications.

Finally, people who are on special diets can also end up missing key nutrients along the way. This includes vegan, low-carb, and gluten-free diets.
If you are in one of these at-risk groups, you have a lot to gain from periodic vitamin B infusion or a vitamin B complex injection.

What is a B vitamin infusion?
Also known as vitamin B IV therapy, vitamin B infusions deliver specific vitamins directly into your bloodstream. This is done using an intravenous (IV) drip, which allows us to slowly push the vitamins into the bloodstream and ensures every microgram given will be fully absorbed. Nothing gets lost in your stomach or diverted (and excreted) by your kidneys. IV infusions also provide the fastest effects when compared to other types of administration.
Each infusion takes approximately up to an hour and can be administered in our spa-like offices or in the comfort of your own home or office.
What are some vitamin B infusion benefits?
The specific benefits provided by vitamin B infusions will depend on whether we are administering a complete vitamin B complex infusion or just specific B vitamins.
A vitamin B1 infusion has a strong effect on energy levels. Because of thiamine’s effect on protein production, it can also help athletes who are training or seeking to gain muscle mass.
Often, this pairs well with vitamin B6 IV administration, as the latter helps with glucose levels – a powerful combination if your goals include weight loss! Other benefits of vitamin B6 infusions will affect your hair, skin, and nails. However, these effects tend to take longer: hair loss may stop relatively quickly, but it will take some time for it to grow back.

On the other hand, those seeking a “brain boost” often opt for a vitamin B12 infusion. In these cases, an increase in memory and concentration can come nearly overnight. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause depression and loss of muscle coordination, although these symptoms may take a bit longer to reverse. This is because your nerve endings and connections will need to regenerate.

Frequently Asked Questions about vitamin B complex infusions
Are vitamin B infusions safe?
Yes, overwhelmingly so. The “riskiest” part of the procedure is installing the IV line – a routine task that our nurses and doctor are thoroughly trained for.
As for the vitamins themselves, the potential for vitamin B infusion side effects is very low. B complex vitamins are water-soluble, so any excess will quickly be disposed of as you urinate. Unlike, for example, vitamin A, it will not accumulate in your fat cells and cause problems or toxicity.
What is the difference between a B complex injection, an infusion, and an oral supplement?
Vitamin IV infusions offer a more reliable way to administer vitamins, which yields stronger and faster effects than the alternatives.
B complex tablets are usually taken by mouth, which poses two main problems:
- First, this causes some of the vitamins to get lost as they pass through your stomach. Plus, if you have a malabsorption problem, tablets will bring little benefit.
- Second, as they pass through your stomach, oral supplements bring a higher chance of digestive side effects, such as nausea or diarrhea.
Meanwhile, vitamin B injections bypass many of the downsides of tablets. However, they do not reach your bloodstream directly. Instead, they are given as an intramuscular injection, usually on your arm or glutes. From then, it will be absorbed through the tiny vessels that irrigate your muscles. With injections, some of the vitamins are lost, but the amount is nowhere near as high as with tablets or capsules.
Finally, tablets are pre-made mixes and dosages. Our vitamin B complex IV infusion is custom prepared for the needs of each patient. We can even add additional nutrients to your IV drip, addressing multiple deficiencies or concerns at the same time!
Who can administer IV vitamin therapy?
Any nurse or doctor can insert an IV line and administer an infusion. The true artistry in the procedure is designing the mix of vitamins that will be given each time. This is often determined after a thorough consultation, in which we will examine each patient’s symptoms, health history, and the interactions between vitamins.
If you are currently undergoing treatment for any medical conditions, check with your healthcare provider before beginning any supplementation.
