Is taking vitamin B12 helping or harming my diet efforts and health??
Posted on Oct 26, 2008 under Diet and health | 3 CommentsIve recently started taking 2 vitamin B-complex/B-12 pills to aid with my slow metablolism The bottle says "promotes energy metabolism and nervous system health.Ive searched online and found that the B-12 doesn't absorb very quickly and whatever the body doesnt use gets urinated/sweated out (my pee is bright yellow). It said there were no reports of an overdose, but lots of bad things happen when you have a deficiancy. I dont take any other vitamins or diet supplements. I do use Alesse as an oral contriceptive but that's it.
Am I doing anything beneficial taking these 2 pills a day or does it just not make a difference???? It breaks down to the following:
14mg B-1, 28mg B-2, 50mcg B-12 or;
apx.Daily Values- 900% B-1, 1,648% B-2, 834% B-12
****Ive lost 90lbs in the last 2 yrs, Ive got the diet and exercise down, Im still 173lbs and still have some weight to drop. I found these in the medicine cabinet and figured maybe it could help. I have NO metabolism, I swear Im almost dead!*****
