Most have heard that taking Vitamin B12 shots helps people lose weight, which is true. What most people don’t know is how much, how often, and what other components can be added to increase the effectiveness of the shots, and how B12 can help improve the results of medications such as Semaglutide, Tirazepatide, Phentermine and others. What follows is an explanation of how B12 with MIC shots may be able to help you lose weight if used properly.
At Nuviva, we fully believe in the effectiveness of Vitamin B12 shots. In fact, we recommend them to all of our patients as part of their weight loss regimen. It’s important to understand that there can be significant differences in the effectiveness of B12 depending on its quality and what is, or is not, combined with it.
First, it’s important to understand that B12 shots are significantly more effective than B12 in pill or drop form for several reasons. Because B12 shots are administered intramuscularly, they bypass the digestive system, allowing the body to absorb a much larger amount of B12 that would otherwise be lost during digestion. Additionally, B12 from injections is released more gradually throughout the body, providing longer-lasting effects.
Second, it’s essential to understand that there can be significant quality differences between B12 suppliers, impacting the effectiveness of the B12, its duration in your system, and even its safety. At Nuviva, we provide only the highest quality B12, along with top-grade MIC components to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.
How does B12 help with weight loss? While B12 doesn’t directly cause weight loss, it supports bodily processes that make weight loss easier. For example, B12 helps convert food into glucose rather than storing it as fat, which boosts energy levels. This increase in energy helps combat fatigue, making it easier to stay active and motivated to exercise, which, in turn, burns more calories. Additionally, B12 aids in metabolizing proteins and fats, which further supports the body’s ability to convert fat into energy.
What is MIC, and why does Nuviva recommend it as part of the Vitamin B12 shot? MIC stands for Methionine, Inositol, and Choline, which work alongside B12 to support fat metabolism. Together, these components enhance the body’s ability to break down and process fats more effectively, making it a valuable addition to weight loss and wellness programs.
Methionine, an essential amino acid, helps the liver break down fats and offers antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage.
Inositol supports fat metabolism and cholesterol management, helping to reduce body fat and promote overall heart health.
Choline is essential for transporting fats from the liver, preventing fatty liver, and ensuring that fats are burned for energy rather than stored.
In addition to its metabolic benefits, B12 with MIC supports liver health, which is crucial for detoxification and overall wellness. Methionine and Choline assist the liver in breaking down and removing toxins, helping to prevent fat accumulation and reducing the risk of fatty liver disease. This allows the liver to function more efficiently, supporting weight management, boosting the immune system, and improving the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Mental clarity and mood improvement are additional benefits of B12 MIC injections. B12 plays a crucial role in brain function, supporting the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood and mental focus. Low levels of B12 are associated with issues such as anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
The bottom line is that B12 with MIC helps convert fat into energy, reduces fatigue, and boosts motivation to stay active. By reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being, it also encourages you to stay committed to your weight loss routine.

I struggled for years to lose weight
I failed over and over again,
Then I met the nice people at Nuviva and they helped me change my life. I’ve lost 40 lbs in four months. I feel and look…
I’ve lost 44 pounds and feel like a new woman.
People look at me differently now but the important thing is I feel different. Happier. More alive. Full of life. There are simply no words to describe how…
I wanted someone to help me navigate how to gain and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have been through other nutritional counseling before. I found the Nuviva program to be much more realistic.
I travel a lot, both domestically and internationally. I found that the food choices I was guided towards were easier for me to maintain while I am on the road, living out of hotels and traveling.
One of the other reasons I was interested in Nuviva was that I noticed not only do they work wth people that are trying to lose weight or have weight related medical issues, but they also work with people who are physically active. I do a lot of long distance running and participate in several marathons a year. Maintaining the right level of nutrition during the training and the marathons is key. Nuviva helped me increase my performance through their nutritional guidance.
One of the benefits I wasn’t expecting was that through proper nutrition I was able to get off the statins I was taking for cholesterol, at my doctor’s recommendation. He’s quite pleased with my blood work and quite excited to keep me on the program.
I lost 100 lbs.
I had a lot of medical issues and all of these issues were traced back to me being so overweight. I was in my early twenties and decided it was time for change.
I am a teacher and I work with small kids. I found myself tired all the time and not able to keep up with the kids. I can do my job in a way I never thought I could before.
The team at Nuviva was so supportive. I loved the accountability. I loved the support. I loved being able to set a goal for myself and just take it week by week. We’d aim for three to four pounds a week and I didn’t feel the pressure of trying to lose 100 pounds all at once. Without the support from the Nuviva team, I don’t think I would have been able to do it.
Nuviva is different from other programs. It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle change and what I have learned here will always be a part of my life. Nuviva isn’t a strict diet with limited food options. I was taught how to count calories, how to make sure I have the right amounts of healthy fats, protein and fiber in my diet. I will use these tools for the rest of my life.
I would recommend Nuviva to anyone who wants to lose weight; whether its 10 pounds or 100 pounds. This is also coming from someone who when I first walked into the clinic, I told Dana I was going to lose 20 pounds and this wasn’t going to work. 100 pounds later, here I am. Because this is a program that really works.
I am 44 but was starting to feel like I was in my sixties. No energy. Unhealthy. Exhausted all the time.
Thanks to Nuviva I dropped a lot of weight, improved my health and now feel much healthier, more confident and most of all younger…
