Vitamin D3 Injection: Essential for Bone Health and Immune Support

At Weiss Wellness + Beauty, we offer Vitamin D3 injections, an essential supplement for building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D3 is the natural form of vitamin D that your body synthesizes from sunlight, ensuring optimal absorption and utilization.

Overview

Vitamin D is crucial for the building and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It facilitates the absorption of calcium, the primary component of bone, ensuring proper bone formation and maintenance. The body produces vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in the skin into an active form of the vitamin. Despite its importance, many people do not receive adequate vitamin D from sunlight or diet, making supplementation necessary.

Sources of Vitamin D:

• Fortified milk
• Fortified cereals
• Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines

Vitamin D exists in several forms, with the two major ones being vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is the preferred form for supplementation as it is the natural type produced by the body from sunlight. Cholecalciferol is metabolized to its active form, calcitriol, which enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, supports immune function, and may inhibit cancer growth and stimulate cell differentiation.

Receiving vitamin D3 shots can treat and prevent the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, including fatigue and bone pain. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in the elderly, severe childhood asthma, and cancer.

Vitamin D3 injections are indicated for those with:

Other Uses

Vitamin D3 is vital for a healthy immune system, as well as bone and nerve health. Vitamin D injections allow for more efficient absorption of calcium, which helps maintain healthy bones.

A Message from Dr. Elise Weiss

“When I started my medical practice, the primary focus was illness and injury; intervening at the destination rather than along the journey. In time, the fault in my thinking became clear, and my approach changed from reactive to proactive; with a focus on wellness rather than illness. Weiss Wellness was the natural progression of my thoughts on health and wellness.

Weiss Beauty is once again a response to observations in my own life and a desire to maintain the health of my skin and body. With this in mind, we now offer natural methods that stimulate your body’s own reparative pathways to fight the signs of aging.”
