How B Vitamins Boost Phentermine Weight Loss

It is now increasingly common to be prescribed supplements such as 5-HTP and vitamin B12 injections alongside phentermine to boost phentermine weight loss. However, it’s not just vitamin B12 that can help to enhance the effects of phentermine. There are a range of B vitamins that have been found to be lacking in the typical American diet and which are essential to optimize your phentermine results.

A recent analysis of the 2001-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found that, shockingly, up to 98% of American adults are lacking in certain crucial nutrients. When our bodies lack certain vitamins, weight loss, and health can be compromised, meaning that you could be doing everything right but still not seeing the phentermine results you want.

Find out more about how vitamin B12 and many other B vitamins boost phentermine weight loss by working together to reduce side effects, boost energy and metabolism, and ultimately, help you reach your goals successfully.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 injections are often given to patients taking phentermine, as discussed on our support group on Facebook, and some medical professionals have even made B12 shots a compulsory element of their weight loss programs. Among other processes, B12 affects the human body’s metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and energy production, therefore helping to improve the efficiency of your body in converting food into energy and burning fat. B12 is one of the essential vitamins our bodies need but can be lacking in those who do not eat animal products, as these are the only food sources of this vitamin. Doctors and weight loss clinics often give their patients B12 shots alongside phentermine to combat a potential deficiency of B12 and to boost phentermine weight loss. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, and since your body does not store these types of vitamins, they need to be replaced regularly, so weight loss clinics may require you to attend the clinic weekly to receive your shot, as one user reported in our Facebook support group.

While on your weight loss journey with phentermine, consuming fewer calories and imposing dietary restrictions could mean you do not meet the daily requirement of vitamin B12. Without sufficient quantities of B12, some of the processes within your body may not function properly, leading to a sluggish metabolism and fatigue despite the stimulant effects of phentermine, causing some people to worry that phentermine may have stopped working. For these reasons, doctors prescribing phentermine will often include B12 in their weight loss plan. However, there are seven other B vitamins that are crucial to ensure a healthy and efficient body with optimum weight-loss potential. For this reason, you should take B12 as part of a multivitamin rather than as an injection on its own, therefore ensuring that you have sufficient levels of all the essential B vitamins as well as other nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and E, magnesium, chromium, 5-HTP and many more.

Thiamine (B1)

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is the first of the eight water-soluble vitamins in the B complex family, meaning that you must ensure you consistently meet your daily requirement of these vitamins as the body does not store them. Thiamine helps convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is needed to produce energy for various bodily functions. Thiamine is also required for the breakdown of fats and protein, which is essential to ensure that your body does not store fat on the body. Instead, it is used to enhance the energy-boosting effects of phentermine.

Riboflavin (B2)

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, aids in weight loss by processing amino acids and energy in the body and preventing unused energy from turning into fat, ensuring that your good efforts don’t go to waste as you work hard to lose weight with phentermine. Riboflavin also serves as an antioxidant, which slows down the process of aging, meaning you’ll look and feel great by topping up your levels of this crucial vitamin. Additionally, a lack of riboflavin causes dry eyes and dry mouth, both of which are also side effects of phentermine, but especially dry mouth, which is by far the most common phentermine side effect. So, to avoid intensifying these issues and as a way to reduce these phentermine side effects, you should ensure that you have sufficient levels of riboflavin.

Niacin (B3)

Like B1 and B2, Niacin, also called vitamin B3, releases energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins so the body can use them. This vitamin is also involved in controlling blood sugar levels, keeping skin healthy, and maintaining the proper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems, both of which are essential for healthy, long-term weight loss.

Pantothenic Acid (B5)

Vitamin B5 aids digestion and helps break down fat and carbohydrates, thus giving you more energy and boosting your metabolism to help phentermine reach its full potential.

Vitamin B6

In addition to B12, this is another B vitamin that can be prescribed alongside phentermine as an injection to boost weight loss. B6 aids weight loss by reducing the amount of calories taken into the body while also burning more stored calories and by promoting the conversion of glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing your energy levels. B6 also helps the pancreas produce enzymes that aid in digestion, and with efficient digestion, you will feel full longer. In addition, by increasing the efficiency of carbohydrate metabolism, vitamin B6 prevents the accumulation of fat. Experts also claim that B6 improves thyroid hormone function, speeds up metabolism, and helps burn energy, therefore aiding weight loss. In addition, deficiencies in B6 can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety, both of which are potential phentermine side effects, so ensuring you meet your daily requirements of B6 can help reduce these symptoms.

Biotin (B7)

Like other B vitamins, biotin is needed for energy production and to metabolize proteins and fats, and it plays an important role in providing healthy skin and hair. Too little of this B vitamin can cause symptoms that are similar to the side effects of phentermine, such as fatigue, nausea, rashes, depression, and thinning hair, so it is important to ensure that you have sufficient levels of biotin in order not to aggravate these side effects and to help reduce them naturally.

Folate (B9)

Rich sources of folate include dark leafy greens, beans, root vegetables, salmon, and avocado, but as a rule, these foods are often lacking in the typical American diet. Like vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, folate, also known as vitamin B9, is involved in protein digestion and metabolism, making it essential for healthy weight loss. Folic acid also functions to maintain stable levels of insulin, which is important for efficient fat burning as your body will immediately burn the fats from foods instead of storing them. Similarly to vitamins B6 and B12, lacking in folate can cause feelings of depression and anxiety, creating the potential to aggravate these phentermine side effects if you do not obtain sufficient amounts of this B vitamin. So, by topping up your levels of folate, you can boost phentermine weight loss and your health while also reducing the psychological side effects of phentermine.

 

The eight B vitamins are essential for your body, especially when using phentermine for weight loss. They work together to enhance digestion, boost metabolism, and convert food into energy, preventing it from becoming stored fat. Relying solely on vitamin B12 means missing out on the benefits of all B vitamins for effective weight loss and long-term success. Additionally, a deficiency in B vitamins can lead to symptoms similar to phentermine side effects. Supplementing with a good multivitamin can help reduce these side effects and improve overall health.
