A way to boost metabolism?

I took one for 4 months and never noticed a difference.

What is your choice of protein most mornings Dan?

Best way to boost metabolism is to train intensely. Get out of your comfort zone and hit it heavy and hard.

If you have a Vitamin Shoppe in your area, they sell B-12 pills that are teeny tiny and you put it under your tongue and let it dissolve. You might be able to find them at GNC too, but I've never looked there since I always buy mine from Vitamin Shoppe. I love taking them. They don't taste that bad, sort of sweet, and they help me with my energy and mood. If you just need a little boost and don't want to take the horse pill sized one.

I'll have to check that out...I was taking this B-complex many moons ago that was literally making me gag. Considering all the other medications i'm on I just gave up on it. B12 is really what I need since I'm borderline deficient, but not enough for full-on supplementation via shots, and again, doc is hesitant to add another pill. But if this one dissolves I'll definitely have to check that out.

As to the exercise part, yes you're right - that's the best way to boost your energy/metabolism. But especially on flare days or on days where I'm having a rough go of it I'd still like that little extra help, ya know?

I just started taking a B-complex suppliment a few days ago, and I think it's helping already. I take one in the morning with breakfast. It feels like I stay fuller longer and I'm not as tired. But I'd have to take it for a while longer before I decide if it's really helping.

I'd love to find one that wasn't as large as a horse pill and tasted awful :laugh: suggestions?

I use Nature's Place All Natural B-Complex. It's in capsule form, so I think it actually gets digested better than a pill would.

B12 will help with your energy levels if you are deficient in it.

It won't actually raise your metabolism. The only real ways to do that would be to gain muscle mass... caffeine can also provide a small increase for a short period of time.
