Vitamin D3 (100,000 IU Injection)
The Vitamin D3 (100,000 IU) injection is administered intramuscularly, usually in the upper arm or thigh, using a fine needle. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is generally well-tolerated, with minor discomfort at the injection site. The injection allows for direct absorption into the bloodstream, which can lead to faster and more effective results compared to oral supplements. Benefits can often be felt within a few days to weeks, especially in those with vitamin D deficiency. Depending on individual needs, repeat injections may be recommended by the practitioner.
