A good metabolism is essential for maintaining a healthy weight. If your metabolism is low or slow, the body will store extra fat and make it difficult to lose those pounds when you try. There are ways to increase your metabolism, like eating properly and exercising, but sometimes you need a little help to get your metabolism where it needs to be.

B12 has the ability to improve your metabolism and get you to a healthy weight and increase your energy. People who have gotten B12 injections have said that they feel increased energy levels.

If you are choosing to do a B12 regimen to increase energy and lose weight, make sure to consume plenty of complex carbohydrates and those leafy green vegetables. Get to the gym, or exercise at home a few times a week. These actions will keep your metabolism working well and your weight will move to where you want it to be.

Most people will notice that they have increased energy immediately. B12 shots work so well that most people will start losing weight within the first week after the injection. While the goal is to lose one to two pounds per week, people who get B12 shots can notice more weight loss. Results will vary with each person.

The reason that B12 shots are so effective is that they go directly into the bloodstream. The B12 doesn’t have to work its way through the digestive system to get into the bloodstream. When B12 is taken orally, much of it can be absorbed into other tissues and never make it to the cells that need to use it. When it is injected, the cells have quick access and put it to work right away.

The length of time for the effects of a B12 injection will depend on a few different factors, like metabolism and how frequently the injections are done. Most often, the effects last about a week. A doctor will recommend the appropriate amount of B12 for your specific needs.

B12 is rapidly absorbed into the body within minutes of the injection. Most of the solution may be eliminated from the body in about eight hours. The B12 takes longer to leave the body. Some suggest that about half will be gone in 48 hours. Other studies show that B12 will remain in the body, with half of it being eliminated in about six days. The rest of it remains longer.

The body uses B12 for a number of different functions, such as producing red blood cells, generating energy, and proper nerve function. As soon as the B12 enters the bloodstream it will be distributed throughout the body immediately. The extra B12 is stored in the liver. With the ability of the body to store B12, it can last indefinitely if you are getting a regular supply of it.

B12 injections are most often done intramuscularly. There are 3 locations that are most common. These locations are the upper buttocks, shoulder, and thigh. Doctors will most often give injections in the shoulder, but this can be difficult if you are doing it yourself. If you are injecting B12 at home, the outer thigh is an easier place to administer the injection, but this can be more uncomfortable than when it is done in the upper buttocks.
