Oral Supplements vs. Injections — What’s the Difference? 🤎
Injections are often more effective because of absorption. Here’s why:
• Absorption rate matters
Oral supplements must pass through the digestive system, where absorption can be reduced by gut issues, inflammation, stomach acid, or poor nutrient breakdown.
- Injections bypass the gut entirely, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream or muscle for near-complete absorption.
• Faster results
Because your body doesn’t have to process injections through digestion, many people notice quicker improvements in energy, immunity, mood, and recovery.
• More consistent dosing
With oral supplements, absorption can vary day to day. Injections provide a reliable, therapeutic dose every time.
• Gentler on the gut
Great option for those with IBS, reflux, nausea, post-partum changes, or anyone who struggles swallowing pills.
• Higher-quality nutrient delivery
Some vitamins (like B12, certain B vitamins, and amino acids) are often better utilized when injected rather than taken orally.
✨ Both oral supplements and injections have a place in holistic care — but injections can be a powerful option when your body needs deeper, more efficient support.
