In addition to our non-invasive body sculpting treatments, many of our clients find that they are great candidates for MIC-B Shots, also known as Lipotropic Injections. These injections speed up how fast the body reduces fat. Excess fat is burned, rather than stored, as your metabolism is sped up to increase the flow of bile and fat traveling from the liver and gallbladder to reduce the unwanted deposits.

A balanced diet and regular exercise are the foundations of a healthy lifestyle, but they don’t always lead to significant weight loss. If you’re having trouble shedding pounds despite how “good” you’re being with your diet and exercise regimen, it could be because you lack essential vitamins and minerals that enable you to lose excess fat.

The good news is that lipotropic injections aid in weight loss by helping to replenish these key vitamins and minerals. If you’re trying to lose weight through traditional methods but you’ve hit a plateau, MIC-B Shots might be your answer to dropping those unwanted pounds.

WHAT ARE LIPOTROPICS?

Lipotropics are essential nutrients 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.

WHAT’S IN A MIC-B SHOT?

Often called MIC-B Shots or LIPO Shots, the injection is made up of lipotropic solution of essential nutrients and vitamins, the shots will enable fat loss to occur. These nutrients are what the body uses to encourage fat loss. Excess fat will be burned, rather than stored in the liver. Bile and fat which are trapped can lead to slowing down of the metabolism; you don’t want to have this occur in your system. Lipo-shots help promote healthy flow of bile and removal of fat, eliminate these concerns in users. You might be thinking to yourself “this is the reason I store that layer of fat, and haven’t been able to lose it with diet and exercise alone. And yes, you are right!

Each nutrient in a MIC-B Shot is essential because each one of them plays a role in the breaking down of fat, utilization of fat, distribution of energy and removal of toxins from the body.

The components found in MIC-B Shots include:

Methionine – An antioxidant that helps break down fat molecules.

Inositol – Regulates serotonin and insulin levels to stabilize mood and reduce feelings of hunger.

Choline – Metabolizes fats in the liver and gall bladder.

Vitamin B12 – Helps to keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and boosts energy production

Methionine

This is abbreviated as ‘M’ on the “MIC”. Methionine is an essential amino acid. This means that it cannot be naturally synthesized in your body. It is a lipotropic agent which helps break down fat in the liver, lower cholesterol in the body and prevent fat from depositing and accumulating at specific sites in the body.

Benefits of Methionine:

• makes your liver more healthy and minimizes your chances of contracting a liver disease
• enhances skin tone and elasticity.
• produces creatine to nourish your hair and nails
• enhances muscular and cardiovascular functions.
• clinical research has also proved that it can greatly improve the alcohol-induced histological changes in your liver.

Inositol

This lipotropic is abbreviated as ‘I’ on the “MIC”. Often referred to as “B8”, it is a vitamin-like nutrient related to the B vitamin family that cannot be naturally synthesized by the body. Inositol promotes the health of cell structures and the synapses of the nerves. It serves to reduce cholesterol, improve insulin function to enhance the metabolism of fats and facilitate the proper functioning of serotonin which regulates your moods and your appetite.

Benefits of Inositol:

• reduces cholesterol in the blood serum
• enhances the breakdown of fat.
• facilitates the optimal functioning of the brain
• reduces your feeling of hunger

Choline

Abbreviated as ‘C’ in the “MIC”, Choline is a, essential amino acid-like nutrient which is vital for liver function. While choline is produced in the liver, is generally not produced in sufficient quantities.  It helps to support the liver in the excretion of chemicals and toxic waste products. it is required for the metabolism and transportation of fats to different sites in the body. This facilitates the development and support of the cardiovascular system, the hepatic system, and the endocrine system.

Benefits of Choline:

• promotes liver health by normalizing cholesterol levels.
• improves the export and burning of fat from the liver
• helps in the synthesis of carnitine
• helps in brain development and memory and supports the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.

Vitamin B-12

Sometimes called the energy vitamin, vitamin B-12 helps to keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy. It also helps to prevent a form of anemia that can make you tired and weak.

Benefits of Vitamin B-12

• boosts energy production and overall metabolic rates
• helps burn stored body fat
• increases production of red blood cells.
• takes part in the detoxification of the body system
• regulates sleep and helps to maintain a healthy liver.
• slows down the aging process and works with other nutrients to improve your health.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED SHOT:

L-Carnitine

Carnitine is another important amino acid which is needed for the adequate transport and breaking down of fat in the body to generate metabolic energy. Numerous studies indicate that L-carnitine can decrease fat, while preserving your muscles during exercise.

Benefits of L-Carnitine

• boosts overall metabolic rates
• helps burn stored body fat
• reduces general body fatigue.
• regulates muscles to utilize energy from the metabolism of fat molecules.
