MIC plus Vitamin B12 for Weight Loss

A combination of the amino acids methionine, inositol, and choline, along with vitamin B12 can work with your body's natural system to encourage the loss of stubborn body fat, improve your metabolism improve cholesterol levels and detoxify the body. Vitamin B12 further helps energize your body, improve your mood, and potentially even help regulate your sleep. This combination is sometimes referred to aqs "The Skinny Shot." This works best of course, alongside a clean diet and an effective exercise program.

L-Methionine

One of two sulphur-containing amino acids which plays a role in synthesizing other amino acids. L-L-Methionine plays the role of an antioxidant and is an essential amino acid, which means it must be consumed in the diet or through supplementation. We find this in foods such as meat, dairy products, spinach, sesame nuts, and Brazil nuts.

L-Methionine helps the body produce proteins which are believed to aid in weight loss. Ultimately, this is believed to happen by improving the function of the liver, so more so than helping the body break down the lipids, L-Methionine is helping the liver move the broken-down fats out of your body.

Inositol

Another essential nutrient found in several foods, useful for signal transfer, growth, and metabolism is inositol. This carbohydrate forms lecithin, which helps metabolize fat. Usually found in fruits like oranges, cantaloupes, and bananas, as well as kidney beans, peanuts, and raisins.

The benefits of inositol go beyond weight loss, however. It has been used to help clients by improving the impact of polycystic ovarian syndrome. It can also help regulate blood sugar, so useful during pregnancy, with type 2 diabetes, and for those with metabolic syndrome. Inositol has been used to improve mental health, specifically panic disorder, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.

Choline

Choline is also helpful for weight loss, as it helps you feel full faster, supports the function of your kidneys, liver, and gallbladder. While the body does produce choline naturally, it still needs to be consumed or supplemented to keep healthy levels in the body. Choline is vital for metabolism of fat and detoxification within the liver, but the FDA has acknowledged that most people consume less than the recommended daily allowance.

The benefits of choline beyond weight loss include aiding in muscle performance, supporting memory development, protecting nerve fibers, and reducing inflammation. There is evidence it can help protect DNA or minimize damage, as well improve cardiac health and liver function.

Vitamin B12 Injections

These are quite popular it seems, for a variety of reasons, primarily fatigue but what surprises me is consumers are unaware of their baseline status, nor are they aware where their current measurements, or even which variety of cobalamin they are receiving. Cyanocobalamin for example, is the more stable and least expensive of the options, but just as the name says, this is compounded with cyanine. Our bodies must break this down and detoxify it utilizing our glutathione and other natural defenses for which you are hoping to build with the vitamin B12 injection in the first place, ultimately negating your effort.

Lipotropic Injections

If you decide lipotropic or MIC injections are part of your wellness plan, these are typically offered weekly as injections. Vitamin B12 can be added to this if appropriate for you. Certainly, we require a wellness exam prior to offering these injections. We simply want to rule out issues such as thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease, and even anxiety as players in your weight. We also want to assure you are an appropriate candidate for MIC injections. We can do this as part of your first MIC injection visit for an additional fee.

The side effects of MIC include a fishy body odor, nausea, diarrhea, low blood pressure, and excessive sweating. Individually, the fishy body odor is typically the fault of choline, as is the sweating. Choline can also cause vomiting and diarrhea in the rare individual. L-Methionine can cause headaches, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, and heartburn, sometimes irritability. Inositol may lead to stomach pain, nausea, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Each of these are quite rare, and although many people effectively utilize MIC, there are a few who this regimen is not appropriate. Children and pregnant women are the more obvious, but those with atherosclerosis, cirrhosis, loss of bladder control, or acidosis should be cautious. There are no known drug interactions.

While lipotropic injections could promote fat loss in the body, these shots are not bulletproof. You can't skip the health diet and movement plan. Meal planning is necessary for most. These shots aren't thought to have any significant side effects.
