B vitamins can also be given as intravenous infusions. They are less popular because you can't make them yourself at home. Oral supplementation in the form of tablets, as well as intramuscular injections, is much more common. In this case, these are prescription medications obtained from a pharmacy, with a doctor's prescription only.
In order for an intravenous vitamin infusion to be performed, it is necessary to undergo a medical consultation, during which a detailed interview with the patient is conducted.
B vitamins determine the proper functioning of the nervous system, help in concentration and mental work. They are also recommended for patients after bone and muscle injuries who want to accelerate regenerative processes.
Infusions of vitamin B and many other similar compounds are considered to be the most effective method of supplementation. However, it is important to remember that they are not a substitute for a healthy, well-balanced diet.
