The Weight Loss Vitamin

By Anne Fennell


Vitamin B12 has long been known to play an important role in the monitoring and maintaining of body functions. This vitamin is of the water soluble variety, and is crucial for higher brain and nervous system function, and blood formation. It is one of eight B vitamins that are found in the body. This is also utilized in the process of forming energy, and helps to create the necessary genetic material found in cells, called DNA. 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.

People noticed that Vitamin B12 was correlated to weight loss, this was unexpected.

This shedding of weight is not the result of Vitamin B12 alone. Metabolism is increased by this vitamin, and that will be of use to a person that is trying to shed weight. A prominent behavior of this vitamin will assist proteins and fats to be metabolized. 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.

Another advantage of injectable B12 is that stress levels are reported to be reduced. The effects of B12 don't make as much of a difference to a person who is healthy and in shape, as someone who needs more serious body improvement. 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. As such, most people prefer to take Vitamin B12 injections in order to boost their metabolism, as the nutrients will be absorbed by the body more effectively as compared to pills. 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.

How Safe is it?

It's a good idea to consult with a doctor before you get this treatment so you can be sure that your health won't be put at risk because of the shots.

There are some side effects associated with getting Vitamin B12 injections. Nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, palpitations, and pain near the area of injection are reported occasionally.

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. It also helps to fight stress and depression, symptoms which are sometimes associated with weight gain.
