Will taking vitamin b-12 speed up my weight loss?

**lucylicious** · 07-22-2005, 04:21 PM

I've been reading about b-12 on the forum. I was wondering if taking a b-12 vitamin every day would help speed up my weight loss...I just want to give the phen an extra boost--is this a good idea? If so, what brand should I buy, or does that/mg in each pill, etc., matter? Thanks.

Myself, I take the ultra mega gold from the local GNC. It has real nice b-complex in it plus all of the other vit... you need. If you think to go that route then I would look into the version for the women. The b-complex isn't as strong and it should be at the amount you need. As for speeding up your wait loss... It couldn't hurt... It will make you fell better and when you fell good. Then the sky is the limit. What does everyone else think?

Yeah, anybody else got any feedback on this? I've been reading about how b-12 can help me lessen my tolerance to Phen. Should I just buy any old b12 from walmart, or what? Ian? Thanks for your input, Ace.

Hey, I know that B12 can help lessen tolerance to Phentermine, as you
have mentioned. I'm not sure what brand is best, but most people seem
to just pick it up at wal-mart. Others go as far as getting a B12 injection
one a month, etc.

MM, thanks Ian. I think I'm going to try and find the sublingual ones that dissolve under your tongue that Needtolose suggested. I am willing to do pretty much anything to help me lose faster...

Hi everyone :grin:

I just started taking b12 1000mg pills yesterday after doing some research on them. The B12 helps in metabolising carbohydrates giving a little energy boost, B12 is also great for many other things as well.
I hope this helps you some.

good luck everybody !

i talked to my pharmacist about getting b12 in the shot form but its rx in shot he said taking it in pill form you lose most of it bfore it has time to absorb so your not getting what you would want to help with weight loss but in shot form it instantly absorbs that is why the people who have the shot say things like lots of energy i read one women went in for her phen (to her dr) and he gave her the b12 shot too and she lost 15 lbs that week now she was like 200 lbs or something as with most cases the bigger the weight amount you need to lose the faster you see it at first but even so you absorb hardly any of it in pill form bfore you lose it in you urine but with shot you actually absorbing from the getgo im gonna go to dr in a few wks and ask for a shot hope this helps if not try asking your pharmacist too
