LIPO INJECTIONS

A lipotropic injection contains a solution of nutrients that are made up of one or more of the following fat burning compounds. Each of these components is important because they each have a key role in utilizing fat, as fat burners, distributing energy, and removing toxins from the body. The overall effect of lipotropic injections is enhanced weight loss, particularly when they are combined with a healthy diet and exercise program.

• Choline – an essential nutrient needed for proper liver function; exports fat and bile from the liver; responsible for seeing that exported fat burned for energy/fuel; detoxifies the liver; key player in fat metabolism. Good for people with “fatty liver” conditions.

• Inositol – a lipotropic; related to the vitamin B family; involved in the breakdown of fats; involved in various biological processes that can provide positive psychiatric conditions; can be used for an effective treatment for PCOS and other various female dysfunctions, restores insulin sensitivity in instances of resistance (type II diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome being the most well investigated), and for reducing anxiety as well. Due to the mixed benefits to insulin resistance and fertility, myo-inositol is considered a good treatment for PCOS in women. Decreases in body weight have been noted in women with PCOS.

• Methionine – methionine improves the tone and pliability of skin, hair, and strengthens nails. Involved in many detoxifying processes, sulfur provided by methionine protects cells from pollutants, slows cell aging, and is essential for absorption and bioavailability of selenium and zinc. Methionine chelates heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, aiding their excretion. It also acts as a lipotropic agent and prevents excess fat buildup in the liver. [from NIH summary on Methionine]

• Vitamin B12 – Serves many biological purposes including normal blood, brain, heart, and nervous system functions; most importantly, it’s essential for fat metabolism.

• B Complex Vitamins – Helps you feel more energetic and also promotes the metabolism of fats. When these compounds are put together into the form of a solution to be injected for maximum delivery. They are able to bypass any barriers to absorption.
