Vitamin B infusion

Vitamins B2, B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B7 (biotin) and B12 control the metabolism and effectively boost the breakdown of body fat. Vitamin B1 complements this work by strengthening the muscles and stimulating the digestion of carbohydrates.

B12 in particular is said to burn fat deposits when taken in the right dosage. During a diet, it can help to ensure that sufficient energy is available despite a reduced calorie intake. Many celebrities swear by B12 as a diet aid or as a "rejuvenation cure" for extra power in between meals. One of the main advantages of vitamin B12 is that there are no known side effects – in the event of an overdose, the vitamin is simply excreted.

Good sources of vitamin B include oatmeal, wholegrain products, (pork) meat, fish, offal, milk, cheese, broccoli and potatoes. However, a very large amount of food (and therefore many calories) would have to be consumed in order to absorb enough vitamin B12 to start the turbo effect of burning fat. For this reason, a mixture of vitamin complexes is recommended for optimal dietary effects, which is administered to the patient as an infusion or injection at intervals of 1-4 weeks.
