Vitamin infusion therapy is an excellent way of getting an energy boost, hydration and enhancing the immune system. Receiving vitamins intravenously is much more efficient than consuming supplements orally. However, most people have concerns about the potential side effects of vitamin infusion. So, we will cover the possible side effects in this blog.

Quick Vitamin Infusion Overview

  • A person gets a higher amount of essential micro nutrients than any other method of ingesting vitamins.
  • The absorption rate of fluids is 100%.
  • It’s filled with vital nutrients, so it can’t harm the body in any way. However, unless you’re allergic to a particular component then check the ingredients first.

Possible Side Effects Of Vitamin Infusion Therapy

Reactions On the Skin: Redness/swelling or soreness

When you inject a needle in the skin, the natural reaction would be redness or swelling at the injection site. So, it’s a common issue to happen if you have sensitive skin.

Also, if the drip is injected incorrectly, then the chances of swelling are pretty high. But with a little bit of ice, the swelling can be reduced.

Other Reactionsย 

Headaches

The chances of you experiencing a slight headache after vitamin infusion are very rare. However, if you opt for a detoxing drip, then it might happen.

This is due to the fact that your body is detoxifying from the harmful toxins, and with a mild painkiller you’re good to go.

Anxiety

The vitamins and minerals found in the drip are unlikely to cause anxiety.

In most cases, if you have anxiety over the needle being injected, talk to your therapist administering the treatment. She/he will walk you through ways to reduce your anxiety.
