Vitamin shots are quick and easy, but which one should you get? This guide helps you match an IM vitamin shot to your goal.

Quick answer: Choose B12 for energy, vitamin D for bone and immune support (especially in winter), and a lipotropic blend if you're working on weight-management goals. Our team will recommend the best fit after a quick health screening.

Start With Your Goal

"I'm always tired."

Consider: Vitamin B12

B12 supports energy production and healthy red blood cells. It's the most popular shot for a reason.

"I want immune and bone support."

Consider: Vitamin D

Vitamin D supports immune function and bone health. Shorter winter days mean less sun for many Coloradans.

"I'm working on weight loss."

Consider: Lipotropic blend

Lipotropic shots combine nutrients often used to support metabolism. They're popular alongside our medical weight loss program but aren't a weight-loss solution on their own.

"I want an all-around boost."

Consider: a wellness blend or an IV drip

If you want hydration and a broad blend of nutrients, an IV drip may be a better fit. Read B12 Shot vs. IV Drip.
