B12 Shots for Weight Loss

3/3/2012

 
Among other functions, B12 is important to metabolism, including the processing of carbohydrates and fats. Vitamin B12 deficiency can potentially lead to weight gain, which is why B12 shots for weight loss are becoming so popular.

So what do Madonna, Penelope Cruz and Justin Bieber have in common - besides being Hollywood stars, of course?  They receive regular Vitamin B12 shots for weight loss / increased energy.  B12, officially titled cyanocobalamin, is a water soluble vitamin found in animal-derived food products, such as meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs. In fact, unlike most vitamins which are produced in a variety of plants and animals, B12 is exclusively produced by microorganisms, such as yeasts, molds, algae, and bacteria. This is why it is so rich in animal products.


Some symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency.

In addition to boosting the metabolism, vitamin B12 is a component in DNA and RNA production, the production and maintenance of red blood cells and nerve cells, manufacturing of the myelin sheath (a coating that covers the nerves), calming and maintaining the nervous system, and kidney function.  The symptoms of B12 deficiency reflect deficiency in these functions. Some of the symptoms include:
  • dizziness
  • fatigue
  • bleeding gums/mouth sores
  • shortness of breath
  • heart palpitations
  • loss of appetite
  • weight gain
  • easy bruising/bleeding
  • diarrhea or constipation
Long term deficiency is dangerous and result in depression, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty walking, memory loss, and dementia.  Vegetarians and Vegans are particularly susceptible to B12 deficiencies, as are pregnant and lactating women, the elderly, and those drinking excessive alcohol.

B12 Shots For Weight Loss

There are three methods for getting vitamin B12 supplementation:
  • Oral - supplements are taken in pill/capsule form and absorbed by the digestive system. This is the least effective method, especially if the digestive track is deficient in Intrinsic Factor, an enzyme necessary to absorb B12.

  • Sublingual - more effective than oral supplements, tablets are placed under the tongue and absorbed by capillary system under the tongue.

  • Injectable - the most efficient way of absorbing B12. It's a booster injection that is immediately absorbed by the body's tissues.
Many weight loss clinics administer injectable B12 supplements to improve their patients' weight loss programs.  Patients report an increase in energy - which correlates with an increased motivation to exercise regularly.  They also remark on improved sleep habits and mood, which is another bonus as weight gain is often linked to poor sleep habits and depression.


Vitamin B12 Shots For Overall Health

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin, meaning the body doesn't store it and it needs to be replaced daily.  Anyone experiencing symptoms of B12 deficiency can talk to their doctor regarding B12 shots for weight loss, energy boosting, and overall health.


At our clinic we offer a specific program tailored around the slim shot which includes Vitamin B12. This program is called injections for weight loss. The slim shot is great for making your fat more soluble allowing your body to burn these excess calories easier. The injections is given once weekly in addition to a specified diet program.
