Losing fat is no easy feat, especially if you don’t know where to start. For most people, it can take longer to lose fat and can hinder their weight loss results. If you feel like your exercise and dieting efforts haven’t been working, experts say it may be time to try taking a daily fat-burning vitamin or supplement.

Before trying a supplement, it’s important to remember that no single supplement will spot target your body fat and magically erase it. Instead, these little guys will help deliver the vital nutrients and minerals to your body and cells that it’s been missing. Taking a daily supplement may help boost your metabolism and increase the number of calories you burn, which will then eventually help jumpstart fat loss. It’s also crucial that you maintain a healthy lifestyle and continue to eat healthy, fat-burning foods and hit the gym frequently to see these results.

Not sure which vitamins to try? Here are four that doctors recommend to lose fat fast:

The 125 Best New Beauty Launches Of 2023

Vitamin D

Zahlers Vitamin D ($31.17)

 

Vitamin D plays a big role in the body. When your vitamin D levels are low, the levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) rise and can trigger fat cells converting sugar into fat. Michael B. Zemel, PhD, director of the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, says that this then gets stored as fat in the body and never gets burned as energy, resulting in more stubborn fat cells. 

 

Experts also say that a lack of vitamin D in the body can interfere with leptin, a hormone that signals your brain to stop eating and can eventually cause weight gain. 

Vitamin B

Nature's Bounty Super Vitamin B Complex ($9.78)

 

B vitamins make up most energy drinks on the market and have been found to greatly improve stamina and reduce fatigue. Adequate intake of B vitamins could help slow weight gain over time, but you’ll only see these effects if you're deficient in one or more B-complex vitamins. Those with B vitamin deficiencies who begin taking this supplement can expect to have increased energy, which could help you lose fat by hitting the gym more often and performing better.

Vitamin C

Olympian Labs Vitamin C ($14.15)

 

A study in the Journal of Nutrition in 2007 showed that overweight and obese people tend to have lower levels of vitamin C. Another study suggested that taking this vitamin daily could help you burn more fat during moderate exercise as it helps improve your energy levels.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

Douglas Labs Conjugated Linoleic Acid ($30.70)

 

CLAs are fat burners that can be found in dairy products and helps blood glucose enter the cells when we consume these foods, allowing CLAs to be burned for energy and not as fat. But, the experts at Women’s Health note that the studies surrounding CLAs fat burning effects were performed using huge amounts of CLA.

 

“While you might not be able to consume enough of it through food alone to melt off a huge amount of fat, but you can consume enough of it to help nudge your metabolism into a fat-burning state. And when you add it to the other fat melters--especially the D, calcium, and protein--you will create the perfect environment for total-body fat burning,” they explain.
