I am anemic and currently taking b12 and ferrous sulphate. i am also obese. is there any weightloss supplement i can take to increase weightloss?

Be careful : Supplements that affect food absorption can, in your case, make your anemia worse. Fda approved metabolic stimulants like the new combination of Phentermine and topamax (topiramate) may be helpful under close medical supervision.
