Our vitamin injections in Kansas City bypass the stomach, avoid the destructive digestion process, and deliver what your body needs directly into the bloodstream. There, your cells can access the electrolytes, vitamins, and hydration to change your health.

How It Works
When you first come to Regain for vitamin injections in Kansas City, it’s not just a “shot and trot” experience. Our functional medicine clinic and full-service med spa treat the whole person from the inside out.
Step 1: Consultation & Testing
Though we offer an impressive array of vitamin injections to help our clients function better, we’re here to treat the root cause of your issues. Our consultation assesses your current health, goes over your medical history, and takes into account your goals for treatment.
We may also need empirical data about your current state. Most of our patients have already had an extensive lab panel run. For patients seeking vitamin injections (or IV therapy), we take a more symptom-driven approach rather than lab-based, as these individuals seek a quick fix for nutrient deficiencies or energy lapses. However, if we perform lab tests for other reasons, we will consult those results as well.
With this information in hand, we can customize your vitamin shot for optimal results.
Step 2: The Shot
We can administer your vitamin shots at Regain during a scheduled office visit. Or, you can self-administer vitamin shots at home, with the opportunity to purchase up to 4 doses per month. Your rate of injections could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on the vitamins and electrolytes included in the shot.
If we administer your vitamin shot in Kansas City, your provider places it in your upper arm. If you’re doing it at home, we recommend the thigh. Your Regain provider will show you how to place your shots, and we’re always here to answer your questions.
Step 3: Monitoring
Our team will check in with you on how your shots are going, and how effective they are at helping you achieve your health goals.
The unique physiology of each client means they absorb vitamins at different rates and with different efficacies. We can always adjust the shots to stay on target for your health, and we can adjust them over time as your health goals change.

Save Time While You Feel Better
Vitamin shots deliver what you need quickly. When seeking hydration along with the benefit of vitamins and minerals, IV therapy delivers the best results.
Although most of our IV’s take only 30 minutes to administer, our popular NAD+ IV infusion requires two sessions lasting 2.5 hours per session. Since many of our patients don’t have the necessary time for that, we can achieve the same goal by providing the patient with the NAD+ regimen in injectable form. The patient would then self-administer these injections weekly for 1 month.

Why are vitamin shots better than oral supplements?
Oral supplements might seem like a simple and effective idea, but they have their drawbacks. If your body has already achieved optimal levels, oral supplements can help with maintenance. The problem arises when your levels are critically low.
When your health and wellness suffer because of deficiency, you need to get back on track quickly so that your function improves, and then you can maintain it.
The Issue: Destruction and Delay
Absorbing vitamins that have to go through the digestive system is slower and much less efficient.
Only a small amount of what’s in the vitamin capsule makes its way to your bloodstream. Possible reasons for this include:
- Pill Coating/Capsule Case. This can take longer for some patients’ digestion to break down, which can make the content bypass where it’s absorbed best.
Congenital Defects. A patient’s genetic heritage can create absorption barriers. - Intestinal Disease/Resection. When parts of the digestive tract have been affected/altered/removed, it can diminish absorption.
- Drug Interaction. Whether medically prescribed or recreationally taken, drugs can negate the vitamins’ benefits via interaction, or affect the digestive system’s capabilities.
- Chronic Alcohol Use. Excessive drinking/alcoholism detrimentally affects the body’s ability to process and absorb vitamins.
Our vitamin injections in Kansas City deliver nearly 100% of the nutrients into your blood right when you need it, with zero wait time for digestion.
Regain’s Vitamin Injections
The following list of our most commonly requested vitamin injections is by no means all inclusive. We will work with you during your consultation to find the appropriate vitamins in the right amount to help you.
NAD+
NAD+ exists as a coenzyme in every cell of your body, essential for energy production in the cell’s mitochondria, the energy powerhouse of the cell and, therefore, your body. NAD+ helps your systems defend against aging, support cognitive function, and enhances mood and exercise endurance.
Alpha Linolenic Acid

Calcium Glutinate

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 supports immune function, blood sugar regulation, cognitive function and mental health. It can also boost energy and fight anemia, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin B-Complex
Injections of B-complex support overall health as they boost metabolism, increase energy, and lift both your mood and sense of well-being.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of the best-known vitamins. It supports immune function, helps your body manage stress, and supports wound healing. It’s also important during chemotherapy.
