lipotropic b12 injections ...any experience with this?

TheRealKit

I just started them yesterday with adipex. I was able to get the 1st 30 off myself and have hit a wall! Curious to some of the members experiences with this.

My 1st day as a member here and love the current post on other issues already.
Thanks!

B-12 will only help if you were low to begin with. If you don't have a b-12 deficiency, the supplement won't help. You're only getting what you already have,

I doubt it will harm anyone, but it is wasting money. Basically throwing money away, which is a shame because it could be donated to people who need it.

I have a b-12 deficiency (among others) but anyway, my body can't absorb it from foods so I was getting the injection. I never saw weight loss that I could attribute to the injection and after stopping the injection (moved, new dr), I still lose weight the same way I did before: the 'old fashioned' way- good, healthy eating and exercise.

Hitting a wall or a plateau is normal, tweak your eating habits, making sure you're logging correctly/accurately, but taking a shot or a pill isn't really the way to go unless you have a genuine deficiency (which you might or might not, since you didn't say).

I have b-12 and vit d deficiency.

Me, too. I take my supplements, but I have to work very, very hard for my weight loss.

I eat less than most and exercise a lot, too. I don't lose weight quickly. People who eat a lot more than I do lose a lot more weight.

Th B-12 and D are working no miracles for me.

For myself and a lot of my patients we just don't absorb the oral vitamins well.
I lose more when I eat more. It is just making the better meal and snack choices.
My spouse is super skinny and eats enough to feed a small village. I am running 5-10 miles almost daily. If I have a too rough or long nursing shift I just do 30 mins on the elliptical .
I know several that have had success from the lipotropic injections. Dr just added the the lipotropic along with my normal b12 shot . Vitamin d is because I have a total hysterectomy and it isnt to lose weight, but avoid bone loss etc. I am 38 and have broken wrist, hip , back and torn my knee since having it done 9 years ago.

I am familiar with B-12 absorption issues. It is good and smart of you to follow your doctor's advice.

I hope the supplements work a miracle for you. They have not done so for me.

Good luck.
