While IV infusion therapy involves a complex combination of nutrients and minerals that improve your overall wellness, they aren’t the only way to deliver nutrients to your bloodstream quickly. Intramuscular injections, also referred to as IM injections, deliver the nutrients deep into muscle tissues, allowing them to reach your bloodstream faster and function better.
While the situation was likely different, you have almost certainly received an intramuscular injection before. If you’ve ever received a flu shot or another vaccine deep into your muscle, you already have experience with IM injections. The shots are administered in one of four locations — upper arm, hip, thigh, or buttocks.
Here at Apostol Health IFM, we recognize the power that IM injections can have in delivering nutrients throughout your body. IM injections are usually simpler to administer than IV infusions and contain fewer ingredients, making them less expensive.
