LIPOTROPIC FAT BURNER INJECTIONS

Benefits may include:

  • Weight Loss
  • Appetite Suppression
  • Improves Energy
  • Increases Metabolism
  • Enhances Mood
  • Helps regulate sleep

Lipotropic fat burner injections are made up of a combination of several weight-loss supporting nutrients. Vitamin B12 is the most common of these nutrients, but other essential nutrients like B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), methonine, choline, and inositol are also used in lipotropic fat burner injections.

SUPER MIC: Methionine/Inositol (B8)/Choline/Cyanocobalamin (B12)/L-Carnitine/Thiamine HCL (B1)/Pyridoxine HCL (B6)

MIC B12: Methonine/Inositol (B8)/Choline/Methylcobalamin (B12)

The key to lipotropic injections is that they contain ingredients known to promote energy metabolism. The major active ingredients found in lipotropic injections are vitamin B complexes, vitamin B12, methionine, inositol (B8), and choline.

Methonine: is a protein-based amino acid that helps your body release fatty proteins. Although indirectly linked to lipolysis, the increase in lean tissue increases resting metabolic rate, therefore increasing the overall required calories that must be obtained from storage or dietary intake.

Inositol (B8): this sugar (vitamin-like substance) plays a critical role in insulin and glucose metabolism pathways [7]. It helps stimulate the removal of fat from the liver to prevent fat storage. One analysis of multiple research studies (meta-analysis) found that inositol supplementation resulted in lower triglycerides, total- and LDL-cholesterol levels [8].  It also supports balanced hormone levels by promoting insulin sensitivity.

Choline: is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in fat metabolism as it breaks down fat for use as an energy source. This action of choline makes it valuable in preventing conditions like fatty liver or excess fat in the blood. Choline’s efficient metabolism of fats has also been linked to a greater level of satiety, which, in turn, leads to a decreased consumption of calories, resulting in overall weight loss [4]. Research has also linked choline deficiencies to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [5].

  • Vitamin B Complexes: Thiamine HCL (B1), Pyridoxine HCL (B6), and Cyanocobalamin (B12) vitamins are contained in the SUPER MIC fat burner injections. These water-soluble vitamins enter the body easily and are best known for their metabolism-enhancing effects [1].
    • Thiamine (Vitamin B1): helps the body cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
    • Pyridoxine: (Vitamin B6): is integral to immune function and helps the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It also aids in the production of the hormones serotonin and melatonin, both of which are important to restful sleep mood.
  • Vitamin B12: is another water-soluble vitamin that is easily absorbed by the body and plays a role in metabolism processes [2]. It helps with the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It also helps the growth of healthy blood cells, nerve cells, and proteins in the body. Several studies have found that having adequate vitamin B12 levels may be associated with a lower risk of weight gain and obesity [3].
    • These supplements are typically derived from two sources: cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin. Both are forms of vitamin B12 with cyanocobalamin being synthetic and methylcobalamin being naturally occurring (ie. fish, meat, eggs, milk). Once cyanocobalamin enters your body, it’s converted into a biologically active form of B12
    • A deficiency in this key vitamin can cause serious symptoms, including fatigue, nerve damage, digestive issues, and neurological problems (ie. depression and memory loss)
  • L-Carnitine: helps move more fatty acids into your cells to be burned for energy. Additional benefits include: It may improve exercise recovery, increase oxygen supply to muscles, reduce muscle soreness after exercise, improve exercise recovery (increases blood flow and nitric oxide production), and improve high intensity exercise performance when taken 60–90 minutes before working out

*These injections boost the metabolic power of the body*

While the ingredients in lipotropic fat burning injections are important for energy metabolism and can support weight reduction, it is recommended that you adhere to both an exercise regimen and healthy eating plan to maximize these results.

*See references below*

*The best way to manage obesity is to make the necessary lifestyle changes to maintain a healthy weight*

Program Recommendations during lipotropic fat burner injection compounded treatment:

Diet: For the BEST results, we encourage you to reduce your caloric intake to 1,200-1,800 calories on a wholesome diet while on lipotropic fat burner injections. The following recommendations will allow you to create a more sustainable diet:

  • Eat healthy proteins (ie. chicken, fish, beef, pork turkey, tofu)
  • Eat healthy fats (ie. avocados, olive/avocado oil, nuts, chia seeds, and ground flax seed)
  • Limit trans/saturated fats (ie. lard, butter, ghee, milk fat, ice cream, pastries, coconut/palm oils)
  • Avoid refined sugars and processed foods (made with trans fat from partially hydrogenated oil)
  • Avoid fried food/fast food (consider use of air fryer)

Exercise: 150 minutes per week (ie. 30 minutes, 5 days/week)

  • Walking is an excellent form of exercise (ie. trial “Walk at Home” on You Tube)
  • Incorporate strength training into your routine (ie. light weights, resistance bands, body weight exercises)

Contraindication

While lipotropic fat burner injections are appropriate for most, there is a contraindication that would prevent its use. This includes:

  • Patients with a SULFA allergy should not take the MIC B12 or SUPER MIC injections. (Although not sulfa, Methionine is one of the sulphur-containing amino acids)

Common Side-Effects

Like any supplement, there may be side effects that occur with lipotropic injections. Although generally well tolerated and side effects rare, it is possible that some patients can experience mild adverse effects with use. Lipotropic injection side effects that can occur are redness, swelling, and infection at the injection site. Other possible side effects include:

  • Headaches and lightheadedness
  • Stomach upset (ie. mild nausea and mild diarrhea)

Serious allergic reactions (ie. itching, hives, shortness of breath, wheezing, swelling of the tongue, throat, or mouth) although very rare, can also occur

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does it take for lipotropic injections to work?

On a biological level, the vitamins and nutrients found in lipotropic injections are absorbed quickly. However, it may take a while to notice their weight-loss effects. Whether you are following a diet and exercising will affect how long it takes for your lipotropic injections to work.

How much weight can you lose with lipotropic injections?

There have not been many studies done regarding how much weight you can lose with lipotropic injections. There are many factors that influence how much weight you can lose when taking lipotropic injections including your dietary habits and level of activity. The efficiency of lipotropic injections, diet, and exercise are all linked. If you consistently adhere to to all three as recommended, you may begin seeing the effects within 30 days.

How long does lipotropic injections stay in your system?

How long lipotropic injections stay in your system depends on several factors, such as your own personal metabolism and how often the injections are administered. In general, these injections last about a week.

Do lipotropic injections suppress appetite?

Lipotropic injections don’t necessarily work to suppress appetite. Rather, they enhance the energy metabolism processes that are needed when you are changing your dietary habits to healthier choices and exercising. That’s why it’s important to ensure that you are making healthier dietary and lifestyle choices while on lipotropic injections.

What is the difference between B12 injections and lipotropic injections with B12?

The primary difference between B12 injections and lipotropic injections is that lipotropic injections contain several ingredients that work together to enhance energy metabolism processes, facilitate fat burning, and promote weight loss.

Do you accept insurance?
