Lipo-C

Lipo-C Injection is a sterile intramuscular formulation that combines four lipotropic and metabolic cofactors-methionine, choline chloride, L-carnitine, and dexpanthenol-at 15 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, and 5 mg/mL, respectively, in water for injection. It is offered in 30 mL and 10 mL multidose vials, providing clinicians and patients with flexible inventory for individualized treatment programs that aim to potentially support hepatic fat mobilization, potentially enhance mitochondrial fatty-acid oxidation, and potentially improve overall energy metabolism in adults pursuing physician-supervised weight-management or wellness regimens.

Because the ingredients are compounded rather than supplied as an FDA-approved fixed-dose product. The formulation’s uniqueness lies in delivering synergistic quantities of methyl-donor amino acids (methionine and choline), a carnitine shuttle cofactor, and a provitamin B₅ derivative in one injection, thereby bypassing gastrointestinal absorption limits that may hinder oral supplementation. Clinicians often integrate the product with calorie-restricted diets, resistance training, and behavior-change counseling to potentially maximize adipose mass reduction while preserving lean tissue, though evidence remains largely extrapolated from the individual components’ pharmacology and not from randomized controlled trials of the exact compounded combination

Lipo-C is a compounded lipotropic used for injection. It is used for liver disease; increases liver enzymes; and improves fat metabolism and energy. Lipo-C is a custom formulated lipotropic injection used to promote body fat reduction and preserve lean muscle tissue. Lipotropic injections can also be used to maintain healthy liver function and protect the liver from disease. This formula consists of Methionine, Inositol, Choline, Pyridoxine (B6), Dexpanthenol (B5), Cyanocobalamin (B12), L-Carnitine and L-Arginine.

Methionine, Inositol, Choline (MIC) – Lipotropic nutrients play an important role in the breakdown and metabolism of fat in the body. These compounds enhance the liver and gallbladder’s role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up metabolism of fat and its removal. Lipotropic nutrients are also used to maintain a healthy liver. Compounding pharmacies which specialize in injectable lipotropic nutrients create a specific formula, also known as MIC Combo, which has proven to be an effective aid in total fat loss. Methionine, Inositol, and Choline are the three ingredients which form MIC. MIC is the foundational ingredient within our Lipo-C injections.

L-Methionine – Methionine is an endogenous (supplied from outside the body) amino acid that is very effective for maintenance of body protein and nitrogen balance and for the reutilization of other amino acids. This means it is needed to preserve muscle tissue during dieting and exercise. Since methionin eis a nutritionally indispensable amino-acid, its availability to muscle tissue is important for maintaining an anabolic drive for protein synthesis. Methionin deficiency has been known to decrease protein synthesis while its supplementation increases protein synthesis. Much of the work involving the need for methionine in protein synthesis has been done with burn and trauma patients. Major trauma, including heat injury to the skin, results in a profound loss of body nitrogen, altered rates of whole-body protein synthesis and breakdown, and increased nitrogen and amino-acid requirements relative to those in normal, non-stressed individuals.

Dexpanthenol (Vitamin B5) – Critical in the formation of Coenzyme A, a molecule that helps a large amount of enzymes function in the body and for energy production in general.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) – Vitamin B6 is involved int he process of making serotonin and norepinephrine, as well as the formation of myelin. This has ben studied for the treatment of many conditions, including anemia, vitamin B6 deficiency, certain seizures in newborns, and side effects of the drug cycloserine.

L-Carnitine – Carnitine is an amino aid which is required for the transport and breakdown of body fat for the generation of metabolic energy. Studies show that oral L-Carnitine supplementation can decrease fat mass, preserve muscle during exercise, and reduce muscle fatigue. Further research over hte last decade has shed new light on the importance of L-Carnitine as a regulator of skeletaal muscle fuel selection, which means it is needed to determine whether a muscle tissue utilizes carbohydrates or fat for energy. When taken orally, L-Carnitine requires a high does to promote fat tissue breakdown. This is because only a fraction of carnitine is absorbed during oral digestion. When administered by injection, nutrients like L-Carnitine are completely absorbed by the body. By following the pharmacy standard 10-1 ratio of absorption in oral versus injected nutrients, our Lipo-C provides the equivalent of 2000mg of oral L-Carnitine per injection.

L-Arginine – L-Arginine and nitric oxide (NO) have significant effects on muscle metabolism and recovery. NO has beneficial effects on collagen synthesis and wound healing. NO has been shown to enhance tendon healing. L-Arginine remains the largest sourece of nitrogen int he body for NO production, its relevantce and metabolism of NO has received much attention over the last decade. Nitric Oxide functions as; a regulator of healthy blood pressure; a killer of bacteria and tumor cells; a messenger molecule to the brain involved in memory and thought process; a regulator of inflammation and the immune system; and many other importent processes in the body. L-Arginine has several important metabolic and biological effects, which include improving vascular function, being a substrate in the synthesis of creatine, and the ability to stimulate insulin, glucagon, catecholamines, and GH secretion, leading to anaboli can danti-catabolic effects on skeletal muscle. Both L-Arginine and L-Ornithine decrease muscle fatigue during exercise by reducing exercise-induced accumulation of lactate and ammonia, which allows the muscle to perform for longer periods. In addition, recovery time is significantly decreased after exercise and training. Studies have shown that L-Arginine also influences macronutrient metabolism. Increasing systemic levels of L-Arginine has been demonstrated to significantly improve endothelial function in individuals with essential hypertension, compromised flow-mediated dilation, arterial stiffness, chronic heart failure, impaired glucose tolerance, and type 2 diabetes-all of which are common concomitant medical conditions associated with Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
