Do vitamins start your metabolism? I take a B complex vitamin, flaxseed oil and high potency vitamin D. I am wondering because I have a hard time eating breakfast and was curious if the vitamins alone would kick start my metabolism in the morning? I CAN eat breakfast, but with kids, I usually forget. I also drink coffee an water in the morning. Any information you have on vitamins/ metabolism/ diet/ weightloss/ energy would be great! Thanks!

Metabolism is the process of converting food to energy for physical and mental capabilities.
Taking digestive plant enzymes, eating raw fruits and vegetables everyday, and taking probiotic cultures found in some yogurts and milks, will provide the enzymes to fully digest, absorb, and assimilate food into your body which will provide you with the full energy provided by the foods you eat.
Exercise will also help to speed the rate at which foods travel thru your gastro-intestinal tract, so you can replace the tract with more food for more energy.
Enzymes speed up the breakdown of foods, increasing your metabolism rate and provides you with energy…
I use ‘Organika’ Full Spectrum Plant Enzymes and ‘Acidophilus Ultra’ with 11 billion plus live active cells – The Ultras are best because they are enterically coated pills which can survive the acids of the stomach and properly do their things to the foods in the intestines.
Store them in the fridge when you get them, as they are live cells required to digest/breakdown protein, carbs and fats.

Protein is what increases your metabolism. Breakfast is extremely important. You won’t lose weight if you don’t eat proper meals with enough protein for your body weight. Coffee and water isn’t going to do it, and neither are vitamins– it’s the food.

Green tea, which contains EGCG, helps to boost your metabolism.
