MIC + L-Carnitine + B12 (Lipotropic Injection Blend (Methionine, Inositol, Choline + L-Carnitine + B12))
A combination lipotropic injection containing methionine, inositol, choline (MIC), L-carnitine, and vitamin B12. Designed to enhance fat metabolism, support liver function, and boost energy levels for weight management protocols.
How it works
Methionine aids fat breakdown and detoxification. Inositol helps redistribute body fat and improves insulin signaling. Choline prevents fat deposits in the liver. L-Carnitine shuttles fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation. B12 supports energy metabolism and red blood cell formation.
Key facts
- Molecular weight: Blend (multiple active compounds)
- Half-life: Variable by component; B12 ~6 days, L-Carnitine ~17 hours
- Bioavailability: ~100% (intramuscular injection)
- Storage: Refrigerated at 2-8C. Protect from light.

Research
- Lipotropic compounds and hepatic fat metabolism (2015): MIC components demonstrated synergistic effects on hepatic fat export and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in animal models.
- L-Carnitine supplementation and body composition (2020): Meta-analysis of 37 RCTs showed L-carnitine supplementation reduced body weight by 1.21 kg compared to placebo.
