Lipotropic injections are an adjunct to a weight loss plan and are used to target the body’s fat stores.
They have 3 key ingredients that work to promote the body’s innate pathway of fat reduction.
- Methionine (an essential amino acid involved in metabolism)
- Inositol (a sugar alcohol involved in fat removal)
- Choline (an amine involved in the metabolism of fat).
- Cyanocobalamin (B12). This vitamin is vital to healthy metabolic function. It’s also able to reduce mental stress, which can hinder weight loss efforts.
Together MIC (as the combination is called) promotes weight loss by increasing metabolism, building muscle, and facilitating fat removal.
During your consultation, your health and wellness goals will be reviewed to determine if Lipotropic B12 injections are right for you.
Frequency will be determined for your specific needs.
