Used for vitamin B deficiency and include B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12.. Vitamin B deficiencies may result in anaemia as it is required for the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen. People with low viramin B often feel tired, breathless, have a lack of energy and sometimes have a needles and pins sensation.
Vitamin B12 helps your body use fat and carbohydrates for energy and make new protein. It is also important for normal blood, cells, and nerves. Most people get enough vitamin B12 in their diet, but a deficiency may occur in certain health conditions (e.g., poor nutrition, stomach/intestinal problems, infection, cancer). Serious vitamin B12 deficiency may result in anemia, stomach problems, and nerve damage.
Many people are very low in Vitamin D and do not know it. Vitamin D deficiency can affect calcium levels, parathyroid function and bone development. Symptoms can lead to osteoporosis and fractures and, in severe cases, rickets.The major source of vitamin D in humans is sunlight, but supplements are important when people don't get adequate exposure to sunlight. Research results published in the Medical Journal of Australia show that an annual injection of 15 mg of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) can restore vitamin D to healthy levels.
Patient supplied injections can be booked through reception. Mel can also teach you how to administer your own injections if you regularly need to do home injections. The most frequent prescribed injections include:
The testosterone made in your body aids in growth of muscle mass and strength, increased bone density and strength, and stimulation of linear growth and bone maturation. Symptoms that can include: Fatigue and poor energy level; decreased muscle mass; difficulty concentrating; and irritability, are improved with testosterone injections administered by our nurse.
Erythropoietin, also known as EPO, is a glycoprotein hormone that controls erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. EPO is a hormone that is injected into people who have anemia or a low red blood count so that they can make more red blood cells. People who have kidney disease often develop anemia since EPO is made almost exclusively by the kidneys. It stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells.
HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is the human pregnancy hormone produced by the placenta. In our treatments it is used to supplement testosterone treatments by encouraging natural production of testosterone as testosterone supplements are reduced. The treatment is also known as '’Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Therapy to Increase Natural Testosterone Production of the Male Testes Supplemented with Bio-Identical Testosterone and Anastrozole'’
Can be used to kick start testosterone production. Other uses include tan without sun exposure, reducing risk of melanoma and skin cancer.
The Growth Hormone is an incredibly important hormone that the human body produces. It is responsible for growth and development from a young age however the level of production of the hormone drips significantly as we age, so much so that eventually those over 65 become deficient in production of the hormone. This is a problem because the hormone effects every cell in the body, helping us be physically, mentally and emotionally strong.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps prevent oxidative stress. It also works with enzymes to play a key role in making collagen. When taken by intravenous (IV) infusion, vitamin C can reach much higher levels in the blood than when it is taken by orally. Studies suggest that these higher levels of vitamin C may cause the death of cancer cells in the laboratory. A severe deficiency (lack) of vitamin C in the diet causes scurvy, a disease with symptoms of extreme weakness, lethargy, easy bruising, and bleeding. The lack of vitamin C in patients with scurvy makes collagen thinner in texture; when vitamin C is given, collagen becomes thicker again..
Iron is essential for the body to make haemoglobin (Hb), a pigment that makes red blood cells red. When the amount of iron in the body gets too low, the haemoglobin level falls below normal. This is known as ‘iron deficiency anaemia’. Haemoglobin is very important as it carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. If your haemoglobin or iron levels are low this may make you feel tired and not able to carry out your normal routine.
Men and women are getting increasingly aware of their appearance. Wrinkle relaxers allow you to subtly reduce lines on your face and neck line associated with ageing. Thus, giving a more youthful look.
