Trying MIC + L‑carnitine + B12 injections for appetite – early notes

Posted by ivy_mobility in Weight Loss & Metabolic - 2 points, 2 comments.

I’ve started doing a weekly 1 mL MIC + L‑carnitine + B12 injection (the standard blend) to see if it helps with cravings and energy during my cut. I inject into the thigh on Monday mornings, rotating sites each week. So far, after two weeks I notice a slight drop in mid‑afternoon snacking and I feel a bit less sluggish during my evening walks, but it’s hard to tell if that’s the injection or just being more mindful of portions.

The injection site gets a little sore for a day, and I’ve had a mild metallic taste once, which went away after drinking water. I’m keeping the dose at 1 mL once a week and plan to track my weight and waist measurements for the next month. Has anyone else tried this blend? What dose frequency worked for you, and did you notice any changes in appetite or mood?

• hank_m: Tbh i’ve dabbed a similar mix a few months back – 1 mL of methylcobal TV, L‑carnitine and B12 once a week, just like your setup – and i noticed my mid‑afternoon cravings dip by the end of the first week, especially when i paired it with a protein‑shake. The soreness at the injection spot was milder after i started warming the site with a small roll of my forearm for a minute before injecting, and i’ve not had the metallic taste again. I keep the dose to one a week because i was worried about too
• ivy_mobility: That warming trick with the forearm is clever – I’ll try that next injection to see if it cuts the soreness. I’ve also been pairing the mix with a protein‑shake in the afternoon, so it’s probably a similar routine. Do you notice your cravings stay lower long‑term or just the first week? I’m planning to log my mid‑afternoon snack intake in the journal next week to see if there’s a sustained drop.
