MIC Lipotropic injections for weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I found a Groupon for 25 MIC Lipotropic injections (1cc) Considering getting 2 a week for 12 weeks to aid in my weight loss. Has anyone had any success with these? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

I would just read the fine print and see what is in it besides the b Vitamins. If there are a bunch of crazy chemical fillers that you do not recognize the name of google them, and you may see nothing that can be harmful, if so then it may not hurt. A diet dr I went to for months gave me B12 shots that I could administer myself at home, and had other amino acids and Vitamins in it, and it was great, I loved them, they gave me a boost of sunshine, feel good energy. But there wasn't anything crazy in them. And I can't say they actually contributed to weight loss, they just made me feel better.

I am going to a holistic center to get these done so they are all natural. Here are the ingredients:

The formula used in the MIC Plus injections specially blends the following important ingredients:

Methionine - The "M" in MIC Plus. This sulfur-containing amino acid helps to break down fat in the liver, lower cholesterol, and could aid in preventing fatigue.

Inositol - The "I" in MIC. Inositol is a B-Vitamin and works to maintain healthy cell structures and nerve impulses. Lecithin is produced when inositol and choline are combined, which serves to protect the cardiovascular system and the liver.

Choline - The "C" in MIC. In addition to helping transport fatty deposits out of the liver, choline can help maintain the nervous system and memory, and is considered an essential nutrient.

Thiamine (B1) - This B Vitamin helps to break down carbohydrates and converts them into energy.Riboflavin (B2) - Riboflavin plays a role in the process of metabolizing fat, Protein, and carbohydrates.

Methylcobalamin (B12) - This form of B12 vitamin is essential for DNA replication, nervous system function, and blood formation.

Ascorbic acid - This sugar acid is commonly known as Vitamin C and has antioxidant properties.

Lidocaine - A frequently used anesthetic, lidocaine also helps prevent abnormal heart rhythms.

L-Carnitine - L-Carnitine is another lipotropic amino acid used in our MIC Plus injections and it helps to transport fatty acids into cells to be metabolized.

There are OTHER shots that 'liquify fat' I've heard can be dangerous because there is no research to show where this fat goes (while still in the body) after its 'liquefied' so I decided to stay away from those. But I was told the MIC Plus shots are the most powerful without chemicals.

The lidocaine is the thing that bothers me. I had a close friend who decrypted a lidocaine allergy while getting her lips done. They called in the priest for her she was so bad

Thanks I will keep this in mind. I'll see if there is an allergy test or 'patch test' I can do before moving ahead with the treatment. I appreciate your feedback.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
