Default IV vitamin therapy?

I was reading a lot of different articles/journals about how effective getting megadose B vitamin, C vitamin, and D vitamin injections for illnesses/diseases etc. and i was wondering if anyone knew how i could go about getting that kind of treatment without having a deficiency? Is there a way to learn how to do it yourself? any info would be great thanks

I don't think injecting yourself is wise.

But there are holistic medical doctors who give various things like you mention, IV...in cocktail form. It is the only way to get glutathione, for example, and some people really respond to that.

The advantage for IV use is for people with malabsorption issues, loss of some of the GI tract (some bariatric patients), celiac, Crohn's, etc.

The general public typically does not need IV, and it can be risky, as many of the cocktails are compounded by special order, and there have been complaints to the FDA on a few compounding pharmacies not following good procedures in the mixing.

For Vit D you should have testing done. The same for B12 and the other B's before doing any high dose self treatment.
Studies show Vit D is absorbed easily orally. B12 has to be done orally on an EMPTY stomach, but otherwise gives good results for most people.

IV would be very expensive and is invasive with risk of infection, compared to oral.

Hi there.

I've had IV iron, vitamin D IM (intramuscularly), B12, B1, B6 IM but it's always been for severe deficiencies, not fixable with oral supplements during malabsorption...

I think if you don't have any malabsorption problems you can take b vitamins orally and they're just as effective as their injectable counterparts. I don't know about the vitamin C, but I'd definitely measure a vitamin D level before taking megadoses of it if I were you. Vitamin D is pretty safe when taken orally, at doses below 10.000 IU a day, but injectable D can go up to 600.000 IU per vial and this can really mess with one's calcium balance, especially without a deficiency and without specialist supervision....
