Fat Metabolism Vitamin Matrix

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that helps maintain blood sugar (glucose) within the normal range. When caloric intake is low, your body needs vitamin B6 to convert stored carbohydrates and fat into glucose to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Vitamin B6 also helps with weight loss through a stimulating effect on the thyroid.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 plays a major role in a number of the body’s essential functions, including DNA synthesis and the formation of red blood cells. It also helps the body convert fats and proteins into energy and aids in the breakdown of carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 is often associated with weight loss because of its ability to boost metabolism and provide energy.
