Lose Weight Using Vitamin B12

By Anne Hastings Fennell


It has been agreed for ages that vitamin B12 enhances necessary functions in the body involving monitoring and maintenance. Better nervous and brain system operation and blood creation is achieved by using this water soluble vitamin. Eight B vitamins are naturally found inside the human body, including of course, B12. It is also needed to make DNA which is genetic material found in all cells and it is also needed for energy production. Vitamin B12 is a popular ingredient in anti-aging creams, since a lack of the vitamin in the body contributes to the aging of skin. It can be introduced to the body in a variety of ways, injection, anti-aging creams that include it, or on it's own as a topical solution.

A surprising discovery, however, has also linked Vitamin B12 and weight loss.

Weight loss is not caused by Vitamin B12 on it's own. However, the vitamin is able to help you reach your weight loss goals by improving your metabolism. One of its main roles is to metabolize fats and proteins. Once it does so, your body will receive enough energy to perform more physical activities, which will then help you lose weight. Some people gain weight quickly, and B12 is agreed by many to decelerate this process. Those who are obese that lack this important vitamin have less energy than those who have the proper B12 supplements, and the energy difference is the big issue.

The benefits of B12 shots may also be reduced stress levels. The benefits for those taking B12 that are out of shape, are much higher than what they do for a person who is already in an optimal physical form. However if you are feeling run down, then a B12 shot may just be the thing to help give you a boost.

While you can experience the effects of Vitamin B12 and reducing weight by adding more food rich in the vitamin in your diet, you will need a lot of this vitamin to experience this effect. Increasing metabolism in the body by pills is much less effective than shots of B12, so this is the choice that those wanting a boost in this area usually make. A doctor and patient can work out an optimal plan for the injections of Vitamin B12 for weight loss, but typically it's once or twice a month that the treatments are administered.

What Safety Concerns are There?

A physician's consultation is advisable, so there won't be any unexpected negative effects to your body.

In some cases, B12 injections can have side effects, like other kinds of injection procedures. These include palpitations, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and pain at the site of injection.

Frankly speaking, the shots give a tremendous boost of energy. Because of this, people are able to get more physical easier and exercise more, and that will give people motivation to improve their diet as well. Stress and depression are common for those who have major weight gain issues, and these shots can make these symptoms less prominent.
