    Vitamin B-12 & Weight Loss

    Vitamin B-12 has been linked to weight loss and increased energy levels. It’s commonly included as part of medical weight loss plans. But just how is vitamin B-12 linked to weight loss?

    Vitamin B-12 is important for many body functions, including mental clarity, healthy nerves, and the formation of red blood cells. Vitamin B-12 helps the body convert proteins and fats into energy. If you are deficient, a low red blood cell count can lead to megaloblastic anemia, which contributes to fatigue. There are many different medications and conditions that can make you at risk for deficiency.

    Sources 

    The National Institute of Health recommends that anyone 14 years of age and older takes in 2.4 micrograms (mcg) per day.

    In addition to injections and vitamin B-12 supplements, the important vitamin is also found naturally in milk and other dairy products, eggs, poultry, meat, and shellfish. It is also commonly added to fortified breads, cereals, and juices.

    Weight Loss 

    It’s important to note that vitamin B-12 does not directly cause weight loss on its own. Instead, it can be used as a supplemental part of a larger weight loss plan to help you have more energy, especially if you are deficient. Increased energy levels contribute to more activity, and being active is an important aspect of weight loss.

    So while there is no magic injection or vitamin that will cause weight to fall off, vitamin B-12 injections are worth considering for many patients who need help losing weight combined with other solutions.

    Fortunately, vitamin B-12 is water soluble and there is no upper limit. This means that it is safe to consume in high amounts. However, it is still best to talk with your doctor about your levels and intake of vitamin B-12, and discover whether or not vitamin B-12 injections could help you lose weight when combined with positive lifestyle changes.
