Lipotropic B-12 injections are an improved formula over MIC B-12 injections. This formula contains a combination of B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, and B-12 vitamins and essential amino acids; some of which are not produced by the body or not easily obtained from current food sources. These injections can be used in conjunction with many different diet plans/programs to aid in weight loss. The nutrients in lipotropic injections are a class of agents that play important roles in the body's use of fat. These compounds enhance the liver and gallbladder's role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up the metabolism of fat and its removal from the body.

• **Lidocaine: Lidocaine is an anesthetic drug of the amino ester group. It is compounded into this formula and is used to reduce the pain in this intramuscular injection. If you are allergic to or have a sensitivity to Lidocaine, you must NOT get this particular injection.**
• Inositol: Inositol plays an important part in the health of cell membranes, especially the specialized cells in the brain, bone marrow, eyes, and intestines. The function of the cell membranes is to regulate the contents of the cells, which makes effective functioning possible. Inositol is said to promote healthy hair, hair growth, and helps in controlling estrogen levels and may assist in preventing breast lumps. It may also be of benefit in reducing blood cholesterol levels.
• Choline Chloride: Choline is an essential nutrient required by the body to make several important compounds necessary for healthy cell membranes. This nutrient helps form phosphatidylcholine, the primary phospholipid of cell membranes. It helps the transportation of lipids from the liver. Choline is also the precursor to acetylcholine, one of the crucial brain chemicals involved in memory.
• Thiamine: Thiamine (B-1) helps the body's cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
• Riboflavin: Riboflavin is used for preventing low levels of riboflavin, cervical cancer, and migraine headaches. It is also used for treating acne, muscle cramps, burning feet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and blood disorders such as congenital methemoglobinemia and red blood cell aplasia. Some people use riboflavin for eye conditions including eye fatigue, cataracts, and glaucoma.
• Niacinamide: Niacin is used for high cholesterol. It is also used along with other treatments for circulation problems, migraine headaches, dizziness, and to reduce the diarrhea associated with cholera.

• Dexpanthenol: Panthenol (B-5) is the stable form of panthotenic acid contained in skin and hair products. Dexpanthenol transforms into Vitamin B-5 inside the cell and plays an important role in the cell regeneration processes of the skin.
• Pyridoxine: Pyridoxine (B-6) is required by your body for utilization of energy in the foods you eat, production of red blood cells, and proper functioning of nerves. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B-6 deficiency resulting from poor diet, certain medications, and some medical conditions.
• Methylcobalamin: Methylcobalamin (B-12) plays an important role in red blood cells, prevention and treatment of anemia, methylation reactions, and immune system regulation.
• Levocarnitine: Levocarnitine is used to prevent and treat a lack of carnitine. It is used to prevent and treat this condition in patients with kidney disease on dialysis. Carnitine is given to people whose body cannot properly use carnitine from their diet. Lack of carnitine can lead to liver, heart, and muscle problems.
