Vitamin Injections
& IV Infusions
Targeted nutritional support, delivered intramuscularly or intravenously for complete bioavailability. Integrated with your acupuncture and TCM treatment plan for optimal systemic effect.
Medical consultation included. A complimentary health consultation is conducted before every first injection or infusion. We take a detailed health history and review any medications or contraindications before proceeding. Your safety is not negotiable.
Why Injections & Infusions
Nutrition that actually reaches the cell.
Oral supplements face a gastrointestinal bottleneck, absorption is variable, dose-limited and dependent on gut health. Injectable and intravenous delivery circumvents the gut entirely. The active nutrient reaches the bloodstream at full dose, immediately available to every cell that needs it. For deficiencies, this is the difference between adequate and transformative.
At The 5 Realms, vitamin injections and IV infusions are offered as standalone treatments or integrated within your ongoing acupuncture programme, addressing the biochemical dimension of imbalance alongside the energetic one.
Vitamin Injections
Single-nutrient precision.
Intramuscular injections for targeted, rapid repletion. Each session takes around 10 minutes. Most clients notice a difference within 24–48 hours.
Vitamin B12
Per injection
Hydroxocobalamin (the most bioavailable form) delivered intramuscularly for immediate systemic effect. Essential for neurological function, red blood cell production, energy metabolism and mood regulation.
Fatigue and persistent low energy
Brain fog and poor concentration
Low mood, anxiety and emotional flatness
Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
Poor sleep quality
Vegans, vegetarians and over-50s (absorption declines with age)
Vitamin D3
Per injection
Cholecalciferol, the active, tissue-ready form of Vitamin D, delivered intramuscularly. The majority of adults in the UK are deficient, particularly autumn through spring. Deficiency affects immunity, mood, bone health, hormonal balance and cardiovascular risk.
Low mood and seasonal depression
Frequent illness and poor immune function
Bone and muscle weakness
Hormonal imbalance (D3 is a steroid precursor)
Fatigue despite adequate sleep
Those with limited sun exposure year-round
Glutathione
Per injection
The body’s master antioxidant, produced in every cell but depleted by stress, toxin exposure, poor diet and ageing. Injectable glutathione restores levels that oral supplementation cannot achieve, supporting liver detoxification, immune function and skin clarity.
Liver support and detoxification
Skin brightening and complexion clarity
Immune resilience and post-illness recovery
Chronic fatigue and oxidative stress
Anti-ageing and cellular protection
Vitamin C
Per injection
High-dose ascorbic acid administered intramuscularly, delivering concentrations impossible to achieve orally without gastrointestinal side effects. A powerful antioxidant and co-factor in collagen synthesis, immune function and iron absorption.
Immune support and illness recovery
Collagen production and skin health
Iron absorption support
Wound healing and tissue repair
Antioxidant protection
Vitamin B-Complex
Per injection
A comprehensive B-vitamin complex including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B7, administered intramuscularly for complete absorption. The B vitamins work synergistically; deficiencies rarely present in isolation. Ideal for those under high stress, recovering from illness, or with poor dietary intake.
Energy production and metabolism support
Nervous system function and stress resilience
Skin, hair and nail health (biotin)
Mood regulation and cognitive performance
Digestive support
Biotin
Per injection
Vitamin B7, essential for keratin production and consistently among the most requested beauty-specific injections. Injectable biotin delivers concentrations far exceeding what oral supplements can provide, with direct effects on hair, nails and skin quality.
Hair thinning, loss and poor growth rate
Weak, brittle or ridged nails
Dry, dull skin and poor complexion
Seborrheic dermatitis
IV Infusions
Systemic replenishment. Immediate availability.
Intravenous infusions deliver a bespoke blend of nutrients, vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, bypassing absorption entirely. Sessions take 45–60 minutes in a private, restful setting. A full health consultation and medical history review precede every infusion. IV therapy is an advanced medical procedure; we do not cut corners on the consultation process.

Radiance Infusion
Glutathione + Vitamin C + Biotin + B-Complex

Bespoke Infusion
Custom-formulated to your health profile

Integrated with TCM
Combine your infusion with acupuncture for enhanced effect.
Chinese medicine and IV nutrition address different dimensions of the same underlying imbalance. Many clients schedule both in a single extended visit.

A thorough health history review before your first session. We discuss your symptoms, medications, medical history and goals to identify the right protocol and confirm there are no contraindications.
02
Protocol Selection
We recommend the appropriate injection(s) or infusion based on your presentation and goals. For complex cases, we may suggest blood testing to guide a bespoke formulation.

Follow-up
We review your response and plan your ongoing protocol. Many clients find a monthly maintenance schedule optimal; others require a more intensive initial course. We guide you through the appropriate frequency.
