This Vitamin Helps You Lose Faster

By Anne Fennell


For many years, it has been accepted that the maintenance and monitoring of bodily functions is affected positively by vitamin B12. This vitamin is of the water soluble variety, and is crucial for higher brain and nervous system function, and blood formation. In the body, there are eight B vitamins to be found, this is one of them. It is also needed to make DNA which is genetic material found in all cells and it is also needed for energy production. Not having enough B12 in the body is one of the reasons the skin appears to age, so for creams that are designed for anti-ageing, this is usually an ingredient. It is available in injection form, as a stand-alone topical product and as an ingredient in many anti-aging creams.

Unexpectedly, weight loss was noticed to be affected by the use of Vitamin B12.

Weight loss is not caused by Vitamin B12 on it's own. Metabolism is increased by this vitamin, and that will be of use to a person that is trying to shed weight. Metabolizing proteins and fats is a main function of B12. Once it does so, your body will receive enough energy to perform more physical activities, which will then help you lose weight. Vitamin B12 is known to slow weight gain down significantly also, if that is an issue as well as losing weight. 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.

Vitamin B12 is of course found in nature, and eating foods containing it will be advantageous, but for major weight loss effects, this is not going to be enough to make a huge difference. Injections of Vitamin B12 are much more effective in nutrient absorption in contrast to taking pills, and for this reason it is a popular way to boost metabolism. In most cases, it's every 2 or 4 weeks that the injections are delivered, but each patient and physician can work out the timing that is best in an individual's case.

Is it Safe?

Everyone is different, and because of this, talking to an doctor about beginning a procedure like this is something we all should do, for safety's sake.

As with any type of injection, there are some potential side effects. Some of the effects reported in the past are diarrhea, headaches, some slight pain at the injection site, nausea, vomiting, or palpitations.

When it comes right down to it, most people experience a much higher level of energy from B12 injections. This generally helps people to maintain their diets, and motivates them to exercise and increase physical activity. Stress and depression are common for those who have major weight gain issues, and these shots can make these symptoms less prominent.
