The Secret To Losing Weight

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. 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 is available in injection form, as a stand-alone topical product and as an ingredient in many anti-aging creams.

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

Vitamin B12 does not cause weight loss. Metabolism is increased by this vitamin, and that will be of use to a person that is trying to shed weight. One of its main roles is to metabolize fats and proteins. Energy is increased by this, so exercise is much easier and weight loss is a result of getting active. Vitamin B12 is known to slow weight gain down significantly also, if that is an issue as well as losing weight. Vitamin B12 deficiencies have been linked in studies that show that those who lack this vitamin are more likely to be obese, due to their energy insufficiencies.

The benefits of B12 shots may also be reduced stress levels. 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. 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. 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?

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.

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.
