Patients may choose to maximize their weight
loss by receiving B12 injections combined with lipotropic
amino acids. The basis of these injections is that the Vitamin
B12 is an essential vitamin used by the body to create energy.
The lipotropics are a combination of three amino acids which
are targeted towards the liver. The liver is involved in
removing fat from the body. These injections help you to lose
weight by 1) boosting energy (so that you will burn off more
calories) and 2) increasing the removal of fat from the
body.
Lipotropics is a fancy
word for three amino acids that are essential for the health
of your liver. Your liver is the organ responsible for
removing fat and toxins from your body, so if it is healthier,
it will work better for you. B12 gives
you a huge energy boost, which helps you to burn calories.
The vitamin cocktail
included in the B12 and Lipotropic shots are compounds that
enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile
from the liver and gallbladder. By definition, a lipotropic
substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of
fat (lipo = fat, tropic = stimulate) within the liver. The key
amino acids used to make these shots are: Vitamin B12,
Choline, Methione, and Inositol.
Vitamin B12 is
essential for helping to form new, healthy cells in the body.
It also boosts energy, helping to increase activity
levels.
Choline supports the
health of the liver in its processing and excretion of
chemical waste products within the body. Moreover, it is
required for the transport and metabolism of fats and
cholesterol within the body, which is important for the
healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular and hepatic
systems.
Methione is one of the
sulfur-containing amino acids (cysteine & cystine are
others) and is important for many bodily functions. It acts as
a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver
and the body, is helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue
and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces
histamine release. Patients with a
Sulfa allergy should not take this
injection.
Inositol, a nutrient
belonging to the B vitamin complex, is closely associated with
choline. It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce
blood cholesterol. Inositol participates in action of
serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and
appetite.
