Does b12 help boost your matabilism?

No: Vitamins help in keeping metabolism in order but do not boost it, i.e., vitamins do not increase the rate of metabolism.

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids. This occurs at a cellular level. Some weight loss clinics purport that it enhances metabolism (through injection).
