Question 1

please describe a good daily supplement/vitamin for someone trying to lose weight to take?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin w/minerals: Best bet is nutritional weight loss diet with aerobic  exercise.  No vitamins will help you loose weight however while loosing a good once a day vitamin will help keep your diet balanced, better yet get a diet program that is highly nutritious and not just crash (and burn) and you shouldnt need one.

Question 2

what to take my husband is 54 losing weight and has no appetite ? are there any supplements or vitamins to take

Accepted Answer

Medical Exam: Not all ailments can be resolved with pills. Sounds like he needs to be evaluated by a physician and have appropriate blood work scheduled.

Question 3

what could cause sperm counts to keep decreasing? no changes to lifestyle apart from increasing exercise, losing weight and taking vitamins.

Accepted Answer

Genetics or hormonal: Declining sperm counts can reflect the following:

1. Genetic issue- deletions in certain genes can cause waning sperm counts and function

2. Hormonal abnormalities such as thyroid dysfunction or hypothalamic abnormalities

other exposures including environmental- chemical- chemotherapy-mumps can cause waning sperm counts.

Question 4

can a dr.or can you purchase vitamin b12-and b6 in injectable form for losing weight, and how or were can i do this?

Accepted Answer

B12: Sandra, b6 and B12 cannot really help with losing weight. 
As you probably already know, weight loss is the result of clean eating and exercise that includes both weight training and cardio.

Question 5

major exams nearing and i have lost my appetite.i'm taking multi vitamin supplements. i'm losing weight drastically. i just can't eat much?

Accepted Answer

Relax...: The stress from major exams will induce a "fight or flight" response in your body which will cause significant inhibition of stomach and upper-intestinal action to the point where digestion slows down or stops leading to a perceived lack of appetite. My recommendation is to relax, take deep breaths, and take things one step at a time. Try eating multiple small meals throughout the day.

Question 6

i am taking norethindrone 2 tablets 5mg. i am exercising but not losing weight could it be from the medicine. what vitamins can i take to help?

Accepted Answer

No: Norethindrone will not prevent weight loss.     You can take any sort of multivitamin, but they will not facilitate weight loss directly.    Diet and exercise are the key.

Question 7

i want to lose weight so i started exercising and taking vitamins, supplements and omega 3 pills.do these pills help losing weight?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: It is the healthy diet and physical activity that will lead to weight loss. However, if you are deficient in any nutrients - supplementation may help.

Question 8

healthy diet/exercise but difficulty losing weight.what vitamins can help?i do take multivitamin, papaya enzyme, green tea complex, garcinia cambogia

Accepted Answer

Loosing weight too: fast can be dangerous.  See your doc first, and then consider lower carb and higher protein intake.  Exercise daily if possible, even brisk walking 20-30 minutes is helpful.  Above all, like yourself and others no matter what the scale says.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

what vitamins are good to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

None: There is no evidence that any vitamins are associated with weight loss.

Question 10

do vitamin d3 help you to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

No, no effect: Hi. No, vitamin D3 supplements have no effect on weight loss. Healthy diet, regular exercise. If you're overweight or obese, you can talk with your doc about more aggressive ways to lose weight. Good luck!
