Vitamin & Nutrient Injections · Timmins

Wellness Injections

A wellness injection places one concentrated nutrient into the muscle, where it is absorbed over the following hours with nothing lost to digestion. We offer four: vitamin B12, biotin, glutathione and NAD+. Each starts at a low dose and is adjusted to your goal and how you respond, within your medical order. Once a month, on its own or paired with an IV drip.

Vitamin B12 methylcobalamin injection vial
Energy · 15 minutes · Intramuscular

Vitamin B12

Pharmacy labelMethylcobalamin 10 mg/mL Injection Solution, 10 mL MDV

Learn more

The most requested injection, with a long history of use. Methylcobalamin is the active form of B12 your nerves and blood cells use directly, with no conversion step.

In the vial
Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) 10 mg per mLSterile multi dose vial, compounded by a licensed pharmacy
Designed to support
Energy, red blood cell formation and nerve function. The usual choice for low energy, a vegetarian or vegan diet, long term metformin or acid reducer use, or a B12 level your doctor has told you is low.
How it works
B12 is the cofactor for two enzymes that keep red blood cells and the nerve lining healthy. Oral B12 is absorbed at only 1 to 2 percent; an injection into muscle delivers the whole dose and measurable levels last 2 to 4 weeks.
What to expect
A quick pinch in the shoulder. Some people notice more energy within days, others over a few weeks. Urine may look brighter the next day, which is the excess B12 leaving, and is harmless.
How often
Once a month. If your doctor has diagnosed a deficiency, they lead the treatment and we work alongside it.
Who should wait, and possible side effects
Not for you right now if you
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
  • Have a fever, an infection or feel unwell today
  • Are under 19
  • Have Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (B12 can worsen it)
  • Have a known cobalt or cobalamin allergy
Tell your nurse first if you
  • Have polycythemia vera or another blood count disorder
  • Take metformin, acid reducers or anticonvulsants (they lower B12, which is relevant to your plan, not a reason to avoid the injection)
  • Have had a coronary stent in the last year (high dose B vitamin combinations are avoided in that window)
  • Have kidney disease
Possible side effects
  • A brief sting, then tenderness at the site for a day
  • Brighter coloured urine the next day
  • Rarely, a mild rash or itch
  • Rare: an allergic reaction. Your nurse is trained to recognize and manage this

Book B12
Biotin injection vial
Hair, Skin & Nails · 15 minutes · Intramuscular

Biotin

Pharmacy labelBiotin 0.5 mg/mL Injection Solution, 10 mL MDV

Learn more

Vitamin B7, the cofactor behind keratin. For hair that is shedding, nails that split and skin that needs support from the inside, especially alongside PRP hair restoration.

In the vial
Biotin (vitamin B7) 0.5 mg per mLSterile multi dose vial, compounded by a licensed pharmacy
Designed to support
Keratin production in hair and nails, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids in skin cells. Pairs with PRP hair restoration and with the EXO-GROW routine.
How it works
Biotin is the cofactor for the carboxylase enzymes that build the building blocks of keratin. Hair, nails and skin all turn over quickly, so they are the first tissues to show when biotin is short.
What to expect
A quick pinch. Hair and nails grow slowly, so give it 8 to 12 weeks before judging. Biotin can skew thyroid, hormone and some cardiac blood tests for up to 3 days, so tell us if labs are coming up.
How often
Once a month, timed around your PRP sessions if you are doing them.
Who should wait, and possible side effects
Not for you right now if you
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
  • Have a fever, an infection or feel unwell today
  • Are under 19
  • Have blood tests booked in the next 3 days, including thyroid, hormone or heart tests (biotin can give a false result)
Tell your nurse first if you
  • Take thyroid medication (your thyroid tests must be timed away from the injection)
  • Have kidney disease (biotin clears more slowly, so the lab interference window is longer)
  • Take anticonvulsants or long term antibiotics
  • Have had a heart attack or chest pain workup recently (biotin can falsely lower troponin, the heart attack blood test)
Possible side effects
  • A brief sting and mild tenderness at the site
  • Occasionally mild acne for a few days
  • Rarely, a rash or itch
  • Rare: an allergic reaction. Your nurse is trained to recognize and manage this

Glutathione injection vial
Antioxidant · 15 minutes · Intramuscular

Glutathione

Pharmacy labelGlutathione 200 mg/mL Injection Solution, 10 mL MDV

Learn more

The body's main antioxidant, in a quick injection. Chosen for antioxidant support, the liver's natural detox pathways and skin health as part of a routine.

In the vial
Reduced L-glutathione 200 mg per mLSterile multi dose vial, compounded by a licensed pharmacy
Designed to support
Antioxidant balance, the liver's glutathione dependent detox pathways, and recycling of vitamins C and E. Part of a skin routine alongside peels, Lumecca and good sun protection.
How it works
Glutathione neutralizes free radicals inside cells and is the molecule the liver uses to bind and clear many toxins. Oral glutathione is mostly broken down in the gut, so injection is the reliable route.
What to expect
A quick pinch, sometimes a faint sulphur smell for a moment. No downtime. Most people notice nothing different on the day, which is normal for an antioxidant.
How often
Once a month. Never on the same day as a glutathione IV drip.
Who should wait, and possible side effects
Not for you right now if you
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
  • Have a fever, an infection or feel unwell today
  • Are under 19
  • Have asthma that is not well controlled
  • Are in active cancer treatment or chemotherapy, unless your oncologist has agreed
  • Have a known sulfite sensitivity
  • Had a glutathione IV drip today
Tell your nurse first if you
  • Have liver disease (rare reports of liver irritation with very frequent high dose use)
  • Use inhalers for asthma, even if it is well controlled
  • Take acetaminophen regularly or in high doses
Possible side effects
  • A brief sting and mild tenderness at the site
  • Occasionally a rash, itch or stomach cramps
  • Rarely, wheeze or chest tightness in people with asthma
  • Rare: an allergic reaction. Your nurse is trained to recognize and manage this

NAD+ injection vial
Cellular Energy · 30 minutes · Intramuscular or subcutaneous

NAD+

Pharmacy labelNAD+ 50 mg/mL Injection Solution, 10 mL MDV

Learn more

The coenzyme every cell uses to turn food into energy, in a lower dose injection for clients who want NAD+ without a three hour infusion, or for maintenance between drips. The one injection with its own protocol.

In the vial
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) 50 mg per mLSterile multi dose vial, compounded by a licensed pharmacy
Designed to support
Cellular energy production, mental clarity and healthy aging goals. Maintenance between NAD+ drips.
How it works
NAD+ is the coenzyme in the reactions that convert food into cellular energy and the fuel for the sirtuin enzymes involved in DNA repair. Levels fall with age, stress, alcohol and poor sleep.
What to expect
A sting as it goes in, then possibly a few minutes of flushing, mild nausea or a tight feeling in the chest. These are dose and speed effects, not an allergy, and they pass. Some people feel tired that day and clearer over the following days.
How often
Once a month. Never on the same day as an NAD+ IV drip. Go easy on alcohol around your sessions.
Who should wait, and possible side effects
Not for you right now if you
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
  • Have a fever, an infection or feel unwell today
  • Are under 19
  • Are in active cancer treatment, unless your oncologist has agreed in writing
  • Have unstable heart disease or a serious heart rhythm problem
  • Had an NAD+ IV drip today
Tell your nurse first if you
  • Have low blood pressure, or a history of fainting with needles
  • Have anxiety or panic symptoms that chest tightness could set off
  • Have kidney or liver disease
  • Take sedatives or any regular medication
Possible side effects
  • Stinging at the site, more than other injections. It settles within minutes
  • Flushing, mild nausea, a tight or heavy feeling in the chest, or lightheadedness for a few minutes
  • Feeling tired or flat for the rest of the day, or wired if given late, so we book NAD+ earlier in the day
  • Rare: an allergic reaction. Your nurse is trained to recognize and manage this

Book NAD+

All injections are prepared by a licensed Canadian compounding pharmacy under prescription and placed by licensed nurses under medical directive. Compounded preparations are not Health Canada approved drugs. They support normal body function and are not a treatment for any medical condition. Doses follow your medical order and are reviewed at every visit.

Which Injection Is Right for Me?

Wellness injection, IV therapy, or one of each?

Seven short steps. The quiz looks at your goal, how you have been feeling, how much time you have and what you prefer, then matches you to one of the four injections, one of the five drips, or a pairing of the two. It applies our rules for you: once a month each, never the same ingredient twice in a day, and NAD+ at its own pace.

1. What do you most want right now?

Choose the one that matters most.

2. How have you been feeling lately?

Choose everything that applies.

3. What would you prefer?

An injection takes about 15 minutes. A drip takes an hour or more and carries more ingredients plus fluid. Both are once a month.

4. How much time do you have for a visit?

Injections take 15 minutes, NAD+ injections 30. Myer's takes 45 minutes to an hour, most drips an hour to an hour and a half, NAD+ drips 2 to 3 hours.

5. Have you had a wellness injection or drip with us before?

6. How do you see this fitting your life?

7. Does any of this apply to you?

Safety questions. Check everything that applies.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Before & after your injection

Before

  • Eat a normal meal. Do not arrive on an empty stomach
  • Drink water through the day
  • Wear a top that gives easy access to your shoulder
  • Bring your medication list and tell us about allergies
  • Skip alcohol the day of your visit, and go easy around NAD+

After

  • Return to normal activities right away
  • Mild soreness at the site is normal. A cool compress helps
  • Keep drinking water
  • Note how you feel over the month and tell us at your next visit
  • Call or text us if the site becomes hot, swollen or painful, or if you feel unwell after you leave
Does it hurt?
A brief pinch, like a flu injection. NAD+ stings more than the others for a minute. The muscle may feel a little sore for a day. Most clients are surprised how quick it is.
Why start at a low dose?
Because the right dose is the one that gets you the result with the fewest effects, and nobody knows that before the first visit. Starting low and adjusting gradually is how we find it safely, within your medical order.
How often can I come?
Once a month for injections, and once a month for drips. You can have one of each in the same visit if they are not the same ingredient. If your doctor has diagnosed a deficiency, they set the schedule and we work alongside it.
Which one should I start with?
B12 for energy, biotin for hair and nails, glutathione for antioxidant support, NAD+ for cellular energy and healthy aging goals. The quiz on this page matches you, and also tells you when a drip would do more.
Can I get one with another treatment?
Yes. Clients often add biotin to a PRP hair session, glutathione to a peel or Lumecca series, and B12 to an NAD+, Glutathione or Athletic Recovery drip (M-UNE and Myer's already contain B12). Ask at booking.
Do I need bloodwork first?
Not for these four injections. If you would rather go by numbers, the lab work route on the IV Therapy page explains how to get a requisition through a virtual doctor and bring the results to your consultation. If you have symptoms of a true deficiency, your family doctor leads that.
Are these Health Canada approved?
They are compounded preparations, prepared by a licensed Ontario compounding pharmacy under a prescription and under pharmacy regulations, not Health Canada approved drug products. We describe what each nutrient supports in the body and do not present them as treatment for any condition.
