Shot Bar/Nutrient Injections In Portland, Oregon

Vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are the fuel for all cellular processes in the body and ultimately are responsible for ensuring proper function and health. At Upgrade Medical, we screen for both common deficiencies such as iron and B12, and D, as well as less common markers for specific functions such as magnesium, copper, and iodine. Many nutrients require being in what is considered "Functional Lab Ranges."

We offer nutrient injections at our Medical Clinic in Portland, OR. An optimal way to get vitamins and minerals in your diet is by eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables and nutrient-dense foods. This, however, can be difficult as our food sources have decreased in quality, and absorption is influenced by many factors. Injectable forms offer a way to rapidly deliver nutrients, increasing therapeutic levels much faster than oral supplements. If you experience symptoms such as fatigue, muscle pain, memory fog, low energy, slow recovery, etc., then nutrient injections may help address these and a wide variety of other symptoms. Injections are quick, primarily given intramuscular.

Our Nutrient Injection Offerings

Our clinic offers a variety of nutrient injections designed to improve energy, metabolism, and overall health. Some of our popular shots include the following:

Methyl B12 is the "energy vitamin"; it is known for increasing energy to prevent fatigue. The methyl form is the active nutrient that bypasses the body's need to convert it to a useful form.

MIC B12 includes additional ingredients like Methionine, an essential amino acid that increases metabolism, and glutathione in the liver, which plays a critical defensive role against toxic compounds; Inositol, a vitamin of the 'B' family, that acts as a mild lipotropic agent which aids Methionine and Choline with facilitating weight loss by redistribution of body fat. It also supports normal cell functioning and formation, plus Choline, a major lipotropic nutrient that supports liver function. It is in B's family of vitamins, necessary for fat metabolism, removes excess fat from the liver, and fights fatigue. Together, these substances metabolize fat cells, assist in the elimination of stored fat deposits in the liver and body, and may encourage fat reduction. MIC B12 shots are known to not only reduce fat but also possibly increase metabolism.

Vitamin D. The "sunshine" vitamin that we all need in Oregon! This is actually a fat-soluble pro-hormone involved in multiple biological processes and is known to influence the immune system, contribute to healthy bones, impact sleep, and much more. Learn more

Vitamin C called the immunity vitamin. This nutrient has a vast impact on the body. Humans, unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C which means intake and adequate levels are critical. It is an antioxidant that helps protect cells, maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage, and helps with wound healing.

Magnesium - Magnesium is a mineral that's essential for many aspects of health, including regulating blood pressure and blood sugar, helping muscles and nerves function, and supporting bone development.

Glutathione - This is the master antioxidant of the body. Possible benefits include detoxification, anti-inflammation, protecting the body from disease, slowing cancer progression, improving insulin sensitivity, and recirculating vitamin C. Some people swear by its anti-aging properties. Learn More

Taurine - Different from most other amino acids, it is never formed into proteins like most amino acid molecules. Taurine is known to support cellular energy, increase bile formation, encourage the healthy metabolism of carbohydrates and sugars, protect the kidneys, and promote healthy gene expression. It is thought to be neuroprotective.

L-car - A substance that helps the body turn fat into energy. It is known to reduce lactate levels and heart rate, increase lipid metabolism, VO2 max, oxygen consumption, and L-carnitine plasma concentrations, improve performance, and hasten recovery in some of the studies.

NAC - N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a sulfur-containing amino acid that facilitates the production of glutathione. NAC is a powerful antioxidant that promotes healthy immune function and helps protect the body from toxic insults and oxidative stress. It is a long-standing and well-known treatment for acetaminophen overdose and cystic fibrosis. It has been studied for a variety of conditions, from PCOS to Ulcerative Colitis. NAC is semi-essential. It is now being looked at for brain health due to its ability to regulate glutamate. Glutamate excess can lead to excitability and increased pain. In summary, NAC can help you boost your immune system, detoxify your liver and kidneys, and improve respiratory and brain health.

NAD+ is a pivotal coenzyme in energy production, DNA repair, and cell signaling, experiences a decline in levels with aging, contributing to age-related health issues. Learn more

Tri-Immune - This is a combination of Vitamin C, Zinc, and glutathione.

Relax Blend is a combination of GABA, Mg, Cl, Taurine, and Theanine, which are thought to decrease the sympathetic tone of the body, improve resilience to stress, and decrease anxiety while improving mental performance and sleep quality.
