Lipo-C/MIC
MIC · Lipo-MIC · Methionine Inositol Choline · Lipotropic
Lipo-C/MIC is a lipotropic injection blend containing methionine, inositol, and choline (the 'MIC' components) along with cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) and often L-carnitine. These compounds are classified as lipotropic agents - substances that promote the breakdown and metabolism of fat in the body. The injection is widely used in weight management clinics and integrative medicine practices as an adjunct to diet and exercise programs.,Each component serves a specific role: methionine is an essential amino acid that acts as a lipotropic agent and methyl donor; inositol is a carbocyclic sugar that participates in fat metabolism and insulin signaling; choline is essential for liver function, fat transport, and cell membrane integrity; and B12 supports energy metabolism and red blood cell formation. Together, they are intended to support hepatic fat processing and overall metabolic function.,Lipo-C/MIC injections are compounded preparations, not FDA-approved as a specific drug product. The individual components are well-characterized nutrients with established safety profiles. While these injections are widely used in clinical practice for weight management support, high-quality randomized controlled trials specifically evaluating the MIC combination injection for weight loss are limited. Efficacy is primarily supported by the known biochemical roles of the individual components and clinical observation.

How it works
Methionine, inositol, and choline act as lipotropic agents that promote hepatic fat metabolism: methionine provides methyl groups for metabolic reactions, inositol aids fat transport and insulin signaling, and choline is required for VLDL synthesis and fat export from the liver.,Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) serves as a cofactor for methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, supporting energy metabolism, methylation reactions, and red blood cell production.,L-carnitine (when included) facilitates transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation, directly supporting fat utilization for energy.

Pharmacokinetics
Storage. Store refrigerated at 2-8C. Protect from light. B12 is light-sensitive.
Regulatory status
Compounded preparation - not FDA-approved as a specific drug product. Individual components (B12, methionine, inositol, choline) are established nutrients. Available through compounding pharmacies by prescription. Typically administered alone - do not mix with other injectable compounds.
