About the Diet Injection The Philadelphia Weight Management Medical Center is very pleased to offer an injection that will help you keep your energy up and lose inches at the same time. Part of the increased energy comes from Vitamin B12. It is important to get this particular vitamin from an injection because it is not absorbed well when taken orally. Vitamin B6, a natural diuretic, is also included in each injection. The most interesting ingredient in these injections is adenosine, which is a substance that occurs naturally in your body. It is currently being used in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. While treating people for these conditions researchers discovered that there was a side effect to using adenosine. The patients had a noticeable reduction in their waistlines and other areas. Further research led to the discovery that the adenosine actually has a cellular level effect on the body, causing fat cells to release their stored fat to be burned as energy. After having an injection, you should notice an increase in energy that day. However, it will be very subtle, not a burst of energy. You should notice that in the late afternoon and early evening, when you usually start feeling lethargic, you will instead find the stamina to keep going. You will feel more alert, more able to concentrate, and generally feel sharper. The adenosine should stay in your system for approximately 2-3 days. Therefore, we have seen the best results in patients who receive 2-3 injections per week. These injections will not keep you awake. To put it in simple terms, they alter your metabolism rather than speed it up. But they do increase your energy and help you lose inches and we all know that every little bit counts! | Home | Medications | Goals | Programs | Mail Diet | |
