INJECTION

Given under the supervision of Dr. Liberoni, MIC injections are completely safe and may be just what you need to break through that weight loss “plateau” or achieve your fitness goal. Basically, the MIC injection gives you energy and promotes weight loss in a healthy way. Most people notice benefits within 2 days. Dr. Liberoni recommends receiving a Lipo B injection each week.

​

Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) Injections, also referred to as Lipo B Injections, are used to help release fat throughout the body by specifically targeting its primary fatty deposits. Lipotropic, or fat burning substances include: inositol, which helps the liver remove fat; choline, which distributes cholesterol and prevents it from getting deposited in one part of the body; and methionine, which is similar to inositol, but also amplifies the combination. Lipo B (MIC) injections are administered intramuscularly once a week in our office. Vitamin B-12 is used to help accelerate metabolic processes, while creating a greater feeling of overall energy. Since lipotropics directly aid in the breakdown of fatty tissue, and are also closely related to B vitamins, when used together, they are thought to intensify each others' effects and are injected together as part of the same treatment injection cycle.

​

The amino acids that are injected into the body stimulate the liver into optimizing the process of metabolism. These injections boost the body’s metabolic power by providing a highly effective temporary increase of normal metabolic functions. As soon as the effect of these substances wears off, the body begins to gradually return to its normal metabolic rate. When administered in combination with a diet and regular exercise, our lipotropic formula can help your body to rid itself of fat, while simultaneously increasing your energy levels both via the fat released energy and the energy promoting properties of Vitamin B-12.

 

 

What are the main functions of Lipotropics?

​

• Lipotropics increase the production of lecithin by the liver. Lecithin helps to solubilize

• (dissolve) cholesterol, thus lessening cholesterol deposits in blood vessels and decreasing the chance of gallstone formation. (Gallstones are largely made of cholesterol.)

• Lipotropics prevent the accumulation of fats in the liver. A fatty liver can cause sluggish liver function.

• Lipotropics detoxify amines (by-products of protein metabolism). This is important for people on a high protein diet.

• Lipotropics increase resistance to disease. They bolster the thymus gland to carry out its anti-disease function by stimulating the production of antibodies and stimulating the growth of phagocytes, cells which surround and gobble up invading viruses and microbes. They also recognize and destroy foreign and abnormal tissue.

• Lipotropics mobilize the fat and help to break it down.

​​

What are some of the important functions of the individual Lipotropics?

 

Methionine:

The "M" in MIC Injection is an essential amino acid, which means that it is not synthesized in humans. This amino acid acts as a lipotropic agent which: assists in the breakdown of fats within the liver; helps to lower cholesterol thereby preventing excess fat buildup in the liver and throughout your body’s circulatory system; is helpful in preventing and relieving fatigue; and is useful in some cases of allergies by virtue of its ability to reduce histamine release.

​

• Methionine works with Choline to detoxify amines which are by-products of protein metabolism.

• Methionine acts as a catalyst (promotes better functioning) for Choline and Inositol, opening up their full potential and effectiveness.

• Methionine along with Choline, aid in reducing liver fat and protects the kidneys.

 

Inositol:

The "I" in MIC Injection is a B-vitamin that promotes: the health of cell structures and nerve synapses; aids in the metabolism of fats; helps reduce blood cholesterol; and participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.

​

• Metabolizes fats and cholesterol, while aiding in the transportation of fat in the blood

• Helps in the redistribution of body fat and can help lower cholesterol

• Deficiency of Inositol can lead to accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and hair loss.

• It works with Vitamin E to facilitate its actions in the treatment of muscular dystrophy.

• It is used in nerve and muscle disorders such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

• Caffeine may cause depletion of Inositol.

​

Choline:

The "C" in MIC Injection is an essential nutrient that helps to support the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products. Choline is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular, and hepatic systems.

​

• Choline Is a fat emulsifier (dissolver) which aids in emulsifying cholesterol so that it does not settle on arterial walls

• Choline works well with Inositol to effectively utilize fats and cholesterol

• Choline deficiency can lead to cirrhosis and fatty degeneration of the liver and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis).

• Choline is being used today for ailments such as gallbladder trouble, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, glaucoma, senility, and memory problems.

• Choline is the ingredient in fish that makes people refer to fish as “brain food”

• Choline detoxifies amines that are by-products of protein metabolism.

​​

Vitamin B12:

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12) - This form of B-12 vitamin is used in our Lipo-B injection and plays a significant role in the replication of DNA, the normal functioning of the nervous system, and the formation of blood cells. The vitamin B-12 injection has been shown to provide these key benefits: boosts energy and overall metabolic rate; assists in the burning of stored body fat; detoxifies the body; increases red blood cell production; maintains a healthy liver; helps regulate sleep, mood, appetite and energy; works synergistically with other nutrients to improve health; and slows aging.

​

• Vitamin B-12 assists your entire nervous system to work more efficiently by maintaining the insulating coating around each nerve fiber, called the myelin sheath– giving you a feeling of “clean energy,” without the jitteriness of caffeine drinks

• Vitamin B-12 boosts brain and memory power

• Vitamin B-12 is essential for healthy red blood cells that carry oxygen to every part of the body

• Vitamin B-12 can also reduce homocystine levels to protect against heart disease

• Vitamin B-12 may help Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, depression, and lack of mental focus and concentration

• Vitamin B-12 may protect the brain against Alzheimer’s disease by lowering levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha

• (TNF-alpha). (High TNF-alpha levels can quicken the progression of Alzheimer’s and the progression of HIV to AIDS.)

 

How are Lipotropics supplied?

They are supplied in sterile injectable form. Dr. Liberoni generally prescribe 1 cc per week injected intramuscularly

(can be twice a week).

​

Why injections and not a pill?

Many important supplements are broken down by the hydrochloric acid in your stomach before they can make it to the intestines to be absorbed. For example, up to 98% of oral Vitamin B12 is destroyed in the stomach, so that if you take a 1000mcg pill, only 20mcg may make it into your bloodstream. Injections, with very thin painless needles, are the most effective way to deliver a consistent amount of medicine into your bloodstream.
