Is Your Body Absorbing What You Need? The Truth About Supplementation and Infusions

If you’ve ever taken a handful of vitamins and still felt exhausted, foggy, or inflamed—you’re not alone. It’s a common misconception that just taking supplements is enough. The truth? Your body may not be absorbing them efficiently, especially if you're stressed, inflamed, or dealing with gut imbalances.

That’s where injections and IV infusions come in.


Oral Supplements vs. Injections vs. IV Infusions

Let’s break down the differences:

  • Oral Supplements: These go through your digestive system, where nutrient absorption can be reduced by factors like poor gut health, medications, or inflammation. You may only absorb 20–50% of what you take.

  • Vitamin Injections: Delivered intramuscularly, injections bypass the digestive system and offer a quick, direct boost—especially helpful for nutrients like B12 or D3.

  • IV Infusions: The most bioavailable option. Nutrients are delivered directly to the bloodstream, providing 100% absorption and immediate cellular support.


When to Consider Upgrading Your Supplement Strategy

Ask yourself:

  • Do you still feel tired even with supplements?

  • Are you recovering slowly from workouts or illness?

  • Do you have digestive issues, low appetite, or nutrient-depleting medications?

If so, your body might benefit more from targeted vitamin injections or IV infusions—especially during times of stress, transition, or illness.


How We Personalize Supplement Support at Tality Wellness

We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to wellness. We ask the right questions, listen to how you feel, and offer support based on your goals, symptoms, and lifestyle.

  • Need energy? We may recommend methylated B12 injections or an energy-boosting IV blend.

  • Struggling with immunity? A high-dose vitamin C infusion can be incredibly supportive.

  • Feeling depleted? A hydration + nutrient infusion can help you bounce back fast.


Support Your Body the Way It Needs to Be Supported

Supplements can be a powerful tool—but only when your body is ready to receive them. At Tality Wellness, we help you understand what your body is absorbing, where it needs help, and how to support it with the right tools.

Because feeling your best isn’t just about what you take—it’s about what your body can use.
