This course is for anyone looking to further their career in an Aesthetic or well-being practice and upweight their skillset by adding this lucrative revenue stream to your portfolio by delivering Vitamin C, D & Biotin via intramuscular therapy.

Multivitamin course: This course covers Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Biotin. All are administered via an intramuscular injection.

VITAMIN D: The human body naturally synthesises vitamin D3 in the skin through exposure to direct sunlight and also obtained through the diet from fish liver oils and saltwater fish. In many developed countries, milk and other foods are fortified with vitamin D.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the health of muscles and bones. It helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines, which has a direct effect on the muscles and bones. An increase in vitamin D can help with aches and pains in the bones and muscles as well as help with chronic fatigue and osteoporosis.

It stimulates the production of insulin by producing cells in the pancreas. It also helps to reduce insulin resistance and can help to prevent type 2 diabetes. Beneficial for the health of the teeth and prevents many dental problems. Boosts the mood and helps to treat depression.

VITAMIN C: Enables the body to efficiently use carbohydrates, fats and protein. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, a nutrient that chemically binds and neutralises the tissue-damaging effects of free radicals. It is essential for the growth and health of bones, teeth, gums, ligaments and blood vessels. Vitamin C is also vital in the key role of the formation of collagen and the proper functioning of all internal organs.

Just a few benefits of vitamin C:

• Heals wounds, burns and bleeding gums
  
• Increase the effectiveness of other medications
  
• Accelerates healing after surgery
  
• It helps to decrease blood cholesterol
  
• Aids in preventing many types of viral and bacterial infections and boosts the immune system.
  
• Protects against many forms of cancer
  
• Acts as a natural laxative
  
• Lowers the risk of blood clots in veins
  
• Treats and prevents colds and flu
  
• Prevents scurvy
  
• Reduces the risk of stroke
  
• Reduces the onset of ageing skin

Vitamin B12 injections, also known as cobalamin, is essential for many roles in your body. Its main function is to help cells form and metabolize properly. It also plays a role in brain function, supporting neurons and cell formation. It is necessary for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. Vitamin B12 is one of the eight B vitamins, all of which are important in maintaining cell health. A vitamin injection can boost your body functions and benefit your health. Because B12 is necessary for so many body processes, getting a vitamin injection has many different benefits.

BIOTIN: Also known as vitamin B7, B8 or vitamin H, is essential for life. The major biological function of biotin is to act as a covalently bound cofactor for the biological activities of five mammalian biotin-dependent carboxylases. These biotin-dependent carboxylases play a crucial role in essential biological processes, including fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis, and amino acid metabolism. Biotin helps to trigger the reactions needed to convert food into energy. It also boosts the enzyme production that supports the metabolisation of fat and carbohydrates. Biotin injections support healthy cell growth and the creation of amino acids. Amino acids are essential for creating protein, so they have the ability to repair and maintain skin, hair and nail health.
