# Can vitamin therapy really “nourish, repair and restore” the body?

Doctor-reviewed · 17 September 2020 · 2 min read · Regeneration

Vitamins play an important part in looking after our health. They help support the body's systems in working well and contribute to nourishing, repairing and restoring the body.

Most of us are more familiar with vitamins as tablets, as powders dissolved in water, or in skincare creams.

## Intravenous vitamins

With advances in medicine, vitamins can now be given by intravenous injection. They enter the bloodstream quickly, without the time needed for digestion and absorption as with oral vitamins, and the body can absorb up to about 90%.

Vitamin infusion is one of our inside-out wellness programmes, designed to help support the immune system; it may also help the skin look brighter and more radiant.

The high-dose vitamin C used plays a role in the immune system and the body's natural defence mechanisms, so it may help reduce the chance of infection and may help some people experience fewer allergy symptoms or colds.
