Most have heard that taking Vitamin B12 shots helps people lose weight, which is true. What most people don’t know is how much, how often, and what other components can be added to increase the effectiveness of the shots, and how B12 can help improve the results of medications such as GLP-1, GLP-1 / GIP, Phentermine and others. What follows is an explanation of how B12 with MIC shots may be able to help you lose weight if used properly.
At Nuviva, we fully believe in the effectiveness of Vitamin B12 shots. In fact, we recommend them to all of our patients as part of their weight loss regimen. It’s important to understand that there can be significant differences in the effectiveness of B12 depending on its quality and what is, or is not, combined with it.
First, it’s important to understand that B12 shots are significantly more effective than B12 in pill or drop form for several reasons. Because B12 shots are administered intramuscularly, they bypass the digestive system, allowing the body to absorb a much larger amount of B12 that would otherwise be lost during digestion. Additionally, B12 from injections is released more gradually throughout the body, providing longer-lasting effects.
Second, it’s essential to understand that there can be significant quality differences between B12 suppliers, impacting the effectiveness of the B12, its duration in your system, and even its safety. At Nuviva, we provide only the highest quality B12, along with top-grade MIC components to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.
How does B12 help with weight loss? While B12 doesn’t directly cause weight loss, it supports bodily processes that make weight loss easier. For example, B12 helps convert food into glucose rather than storing it as fat, which boosts energy levels. This increase in energy helps combat fatigue, making it easier to stay active and motivated to exercise, which, in turn, burns more calories. Additionally, B12 aids in metabolizing proteins and fats, which further supports the body’s ability to convert fat into energy.
What is MIC, and why does Nuviva recommend it as part of the Vitamin B12 shot? MIC stands for Methionine, Inositol, and Choline, which work alongside B12 to support fat metabolism. Together, these components enhance the body’s ability to break down and process fats more effectively, making it a valuable addition to weight loss and wellness programs.
Methionine, an essential amino acid, helps the liver break down fats and offers antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage.
Inositol supports fat metabolism and cholesterol management, helping to reduce body fat and promote overall heart health.
Choline is essential for transporting fats from the liver, preventing fatty liver, and ensuring that fats are burned for energy rather than stored.
In addition to its metabolic benefits, B12 with MIC supports liver health, which is crucial for detoxification and overall wellness. Methionine and Choline assist the liver in breaking down and removing toxins, helping to prevent fat accumulation and reducing the risk of fatty liver disease. This allows the liver to function more efficiently, supporting weight management, boosting the immune system, and improving the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Mental clarity and mood improvement are additional benefits of B12 MIC injections. B12 plays a crucial role in brain function, supporting the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood and mental focus. Low levels of B12 are associated with issues such as anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
The bottom line is that B12 with MIC helps convert fat into energy, reduces fatigue, and boosts motivation to stay active. By reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being, it also encourages you to stay committed to your weight loss routine.
