Supporting Weight-loss with B12 & MIC
Whether you’re just starting B12 & MIC or considering them to support your weight-loss journey, we’ve got what you need. Our goal at New Leaf Wellness is to help you make the best decisions regarding your health and wellness.
First – what is B12?
Vitamin B-12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function, and the production of DNA, the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information. The body of evidence in support of these claims is substantial. But, perhaps the best proof of B12’s superpowers is what happens when it is not adequately present in the body. Individuals with known B12 deficiencies or those prone to a potential deficiency due to lifestyle must supplement vitamin B12. Failure to do so may lead to a variety of health issues including anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, nerve damage, and mood disturbances, to name a few examples. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is not super common in the U.S.; however, vegetarianism or veganism is increasingly so. Unfortunately, the parameters of plant-based diets restrict individuals from the very foods where B12 is naturally occurring – mainly, fish, poultry, meat, eggs, and dairy products.
Deficiencies are also seen in older adults and people with digestive tract conditions or pernicious anemia. These individuals can receive an injectable form of the vitamin, which altogether bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. B12 injections (Boost Program) are more readily absorbed in the body and do not have to be administered as often as oral tablets. As a result, injectable B12 has become a popular choice for anyone seeking B12 supplementation, not just those with poor digestive health.
What is B12 + MIC? Or the Boost Program?
The full formula and the roles of its various components are as follows:
- B12 is a water-soluble vitamin involved in the metabolism that helps the body use fat & carbohydrates for energy & to make new protein
- Methionine is an essential amino that speeds up fat removal within the liver & neutralizes toxins, promoting lean muscle growth
- Inositol is an essential amino that plays a critical role in metabolic function
- Choline is an essential nutrient that helps to regulate memory, mood, muscle control & many other functions
This combination is most effective when used as part of a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. B12 & MIC can help support energy levels, help build lean muscle mass, and even help initiate modest weight loss. For some, it can help to jump-start weight loss.
Patients looking to help push beyond a sticking point in their health goals, short-term B12 & MIC use might be appropriate. For others looking for a longer-term solution, the B12 & MIC formulation can be a regular tool in an arsenal of weight management strategies.
As stated previously, B12 & MIC is likely to be most effective when used as part of a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. Supporting Weight-loss with B12 & MIC are fine to use short-term or long-term, depending on your health goals. You should discuss B12 & MIC or the Boost Program use with your provider at New Leaf Wellness, Omaha, NE and the other New Leaf Wellness clinics and develop a plan that is right for you.
