Vitamin D3
For the low, tired, getting-sick-again stretch. Immunity, mood and bones, from the vitamin most people are short on.
One ingredient, 50,000 IU of vitamin D3, given as a quick injection in the arm. Book it in the darker months, when you've been told your D is low, when you keep catching whatever is going around, or when your mood has sunk with the daylight.
The vitamin most people are low on and don't know it, straight into the muscle.
Your skin makes vitamin D from sunlight, and most of us spend the day inside. Low D shows up as fatigue, a flat mood, aching bones and catching every bug in the office, and in the darker months a large share of adults test low.
D3 is fat soluble, so your body stores it. A 50,000 IU booster into the muscle builds that store at once, where a daily pill takes months to catch up.
One ingredient, one measured dose, listed here.
What it does for you.
One ingredient, then how a booster gets it into you. Both are the whole story.
Vitamin D works more like a hormone than a vitamin. Your immune cells need it to respond to what shouldn't be there, your bones need it to absorb calcium, and your brain uses it in the chemistry behind mood, which is why low D tracks with the winter blues. Most adults who work indoors run low, and darker skin, more body fat and northern winters all push levels down. 50,000 IU is the same dose doctors use to rebuild a low level, and because D3 is stored in fat, one booster supports normal immune function and mood for weeks rather than a day.
A booster is a small injection into the muscle of your upper arm or hip. Swallowed, a nutrient has to get through your digestive system first, and only part of it reaches your blood. Given this way it skips the gut, so more of it reaches you. A nurse checks in with you, gives the injection, and you're on your way. Most people say it's easier than a flu vaccine. Add it to a drip and it happens during the same visit.
Who books Vitamin D3.
October to March, when the sun is low and so is your vitamin D.
If your doctor flagged a low D level, this is the dose used to rebuild it.
When every bug in the office finds you, D is one of the first things to check.
Flat, tired and low when the days get short is one of the classic signs of low D.
Drips that go well with Vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 on its own is a five minute stop. If something is going around, or you want immunity with energy and balance, these three are the drips.
Book it alone and you're in and out in about five minutes. Or add it to any drip and it happens during the same visit. Members save 25%, and the Booster membership covers four a month.
Our mobile concierge brings any drip to your home, office or hotel anywhere in the Birmingham area for a flat $50 travel fee, and the nurse can give Vitamin D3 during the same visit.

Pick Vitamin D3, or tell us how you feel and a nurse will point you to the right one, or to a drip if that's the better fit.
A nurse gives the injection in your upper arm or hip and you're on your way. D3 is stored in fat, so one dose works for weeks; most people come monthly.
Questions about the Vitamin D3 booster.
How long does a Vitamin D3 booster take?
About five minutes, start to finish, including check-in. No chair and no bag.
Can I walk in for a Vitamin D3 booster?
Yes, once you have been in before. New clients start with a free 10 minute intro so a nurse can review your health history. Your intro stays on file for three years, and after that you can walk in any time we're open.
How is Vitamin D3 different from Immunity Plus?
Time frame. Immunity Plus is a liter of fluids with a double dose of vitamin C and zinc, for the week something is going around. Vitamin D3 is a long-acting booster that builds the store your immune system draws on for weeks. Many people get the D3 monthly and book Immunity Plus when they feel something coming.
How often should I get D3?
D3 is stored in fat, so most people come monthly, or every few weeks through the winter. If your doctor is tracking your level, bring the number and we'll help you time it.
Is 50,000 IU a lot?
It's the same dose doctors prescribe to rebuild a low level, given as a single measured booster rather than a daily pill. Because D3 is stored, your nurse will ask about any high-dose D you already take so you don't double up.
Can I add it to a drip?
Yes. Boosters are given during any drip visit, and D3 is one people often pair with Myers' Plus or Immunity Plus.
Can my doctor see exactly what is in it?
Yes. Every ingredient and dose is listed on this page, so you can show it to your own doctor. You, or your doctor, can ask our nurse or doctor anything, any time. Just call us at (205) 210-9797.
