 Lipotropics are essential amino acids that enhance the liver’s ability to break down and metabolize fat. The liver is primarily responsible for regulating body fat, which is why you won’t see significant weight loss results if your liver is slow to process fats. 

Lipotropic injections optimize your metabolism by boosting your levels of lipotropic amino acids. Common lipotropic nutrients include:

• Choline - Metabolizes fats in the liver and gall bladder, helps memory, lowers heart disease, helps anxiety and depression.
• Inositol - It's a sugar that helps the body metabolize, helps PCOS, OCD, lowers cholesterol, maintain healthy hormone level for women, decreases heart disease, and improves mood and metabolism.
• Methionine - An antioxidant that helps break down fat molecules, liver supplement (which is great for alcohol), reduces cholesterol levels, cancer, Alzheimer's, and mental health.
• L-Carnitine - Increases use of fat as an energy source, Alzheimer's, increase endurance, prevents muscle damage, heart, cancer, kidney, liver, diabetes.
• L-arginine: Liver supplement, neutralizes ammonia levels, excretes nitrogen, heart, helps make protein, blood pressure, cholesterol, increase athletic performance, wound healing, immune system.
• Vitamin B6: Immune system, metabolism, mood, anemia, helps transmits neurotransmitters, PMS, cholesterol, cancer.
•  Vitamin B12: Energy, cognition, mood, heart, hair, nails and skin, digestive system, analgesic, anti-inflammatory.

Many lipotropic injections also include Vitamins B12 and B6, which boost energy levels and improve your mood.

 You can expect a gradual transformation of your body when you combine lipotropic injections with a regimented diet and exercise plan. Because body types vary, some people will lose weight faster than others, but in general, most people report losing about 2 to 4 pounds per week. 

Everyone’s body is unique, and only a weight loss specialist will be able to tell you how often you’ll need lipotropic injections. But as a general rule, for maximum weight loss, we often recommend weekly lipotropic injections. These injections give your amino acid levels a boost, but those levels will return to normal within about a week, so you’ll need to replenish the nutrients in order to maintain the enhanced fat-burning they provide. 

For most patients, lipotropic injections are generally well tolerated, but as with all medical procedures, some temporary side effects are possible, including allergic reactions, gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, lightheadedness, and fatigue. It’s important to use lipotropic injections only with the support of a qualified medical weight loss professional who can help monitor your body’s response to the treatment. 

In addition to boosting your body’s ability to burn fat, lipotropic injections have several other health benefits including:

• Improved heart health
• Liver detoxification
• Restoration of hormone imbalances
• Enhanced digestive efficiency
• Improved immune system
• Stronger nails and shinier hair
• Improved concentration and mental clarity
