Research ChemicalModerate Research

Also known as: Lipotropic Injection · MIC Injection · Fat Burning Injection

A lipotropic injection blend containing methionine, inositol, choline, and B vitamins that supports liver function, fat metabolism, and energy production.

Overview

Lipo-C is a compounded lipotropic injection containing a combination of methionine, inositol, choline (MIC), and typically B-vitamins (B12, B6) and L-carnitine. These lipotropic agents work synergistically to support the liver's ability to process and export fat, enhance fatty acid metabolism, and improve energy levels. Methionine is an essential amino acid that acts as a lipotropic agent and methyl donor. Inositol supports insulin signaling and fat transport.

Choline is essential for VLDL assembly and fat export from the liver. Together, they help prevent fatty liver, support healthy cholesterol metabolism, and enhance the body's ability to use fat for energy. Lipo-C injections are commonly used in weight management programs and health optimization protocols.

Mechanism of Action

Methionine provides methyl groups for SAM synthesis and supports glutathione production. Inositol acts as a second messenger in insulin signaling and supports hepatic lipid export. Choline is required for phosphatidylcholine synthesis and VLDL assembly, enabling fat transport out of the liver. B-vitamins support energy metabolism cofactors.
