Vitamin D3 (300,000 IU Injection)
The Vitamin D3 (300,000 IU) injection is delivered intramuscularly, typically into the upper arm or thigh, using a fine needle. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, involving minimal discomfort. This higher dose injection provides a more substantial boost in vitamin D levels compared to lower-dose treatments, making it effective for individuals with significant deficiencies. The direct delivery into the bloodstream ensures rapid absorption and effectiveness. Initial benefits may be felt within a few days to a couple of weeks, with follow-up doses based on individual health needs and practitioner recommendations.
