What the Lipo-MIC B Shot Is Studied For
The Lipo-MIC B shot combines three lipotropic compounds, methionine, inositol, and choline, with vitamin B12. Lipotropics are nutrients involved in how the liver processes fat, and B12 supports energy metabolism. It is a nutrient injection rather than a peptide, and it is popular as a quick add-on for people focused on metabolism and energy.

What Is a Lipo-MIC B Shot?
The Lipo-MIC B shot, sometimes just called a lipo shot, is an injection that combines three lipotropic compounds with vitamin B12. The letters stand for the three: methionine, an essential amino acid; inositol, a compound involved in cell signaling; and choline, an essential nutrient involved in how the liver processes fat. B12 is added because it plays a role in energy metabolism and because many people are low in it. It is given as a quick intramuscular injection, usually twice a week, and it is one of the treatments we have offered the longest.

-
What is in a Lipo-MIC B shot?
Methionine, inositol and choline, which are the three lipotropic compounds the "MIC" stands for, plus vitamin B12. Methionine is an essential amino acid, choline is an essential nutrient involved in how the liver handles fat, and inositol is involved in cell signaling.
-
Is the Lipo-MIC B shot a peptide?
No, though it is often grouped with peptide therapy. Methionine is a single amino acid rather than a chain of them, and inositol, choline and B12 are nutrients. It is a vitamin and nutrient injection, not a peptide.
-
Does the Lipo-MIC B shot cause weight loss?
On its own, no, and we will not tell you otherwise. Lipotropic injections have not been shown in controlled clinical trials to produce meaningful weight loss by themselves. People most often use them as one part of a broader plan, and some report feeling more energetic, which is most plausibly attributable to the B12 component.
-
How often would I come in?
Twice a week is the usual schedule. The injection itself takes a couple of minutes.
-
