Lipo-C is compounded at APS specialty pharmacy to help patients facilitate a higher loss in fat.
Lipo-C contains a specific formula of:
1. Lipotropics
Lipotropic nutrients are a class of natural ingredients. They play an important role in the body’s usage of fat. These compounds enhance the liver and gallbladder’s role. They decrease fat deposits and speed up the metabolism of fat and its removal. APS Pharmacy specializes in injectable lipotropics such as MIC combos. This lipotropic formula forms the foundational ingredients in Lipo-A, Lipo-B, and our Lipo-C injections.
2. Lipocarn
L-Carnitine is an amino acid. It helps transport and break down body fat to generate metabolic energy. Studies show oral L-carnitine supplementation can decrease fat mass, increase muscle mass, and reduce fatigue (University of Maryland Medical Centre, 2002).
Like most nutritional supplements, a high dose is necessary when taken orally to produce any efficacy since the organism absorbs so little during digestion. When specialists inject it, the organism absorbs nutrients like L-Carnitine almost 100%.
By following the pharmacy’s 10-1 ratio of absorption in oral versus injected L-Carntine, our Lipo-C provides the equivalent of 2000mg of Carnitine per injection.
3. Methylcobalamin
It is a cobalamin specialists use in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Methylcobalamin protects the cognitive function of patients suffering from depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, and ALS.
Supplementing with methylcobalamin while following a low-calorie diet can increase alertness and energy, as well as supply the body with what it needs for healthy cellular growth and function. Vegetarians especially benefit from methylcobalamin since this compound tends to be prevalent in meat proteins. Methylcobalamin, also known as vitamin B12, is the most bio-available form, indicating that the body readily absorbs and utilizes it upon injection.
Many over-the-counter B12 supplements consist of Cyanocobalamin. It also contains a cobalamin, which must first convert to methylcobalamin within the liver for the body to have any use for it. The supply consists of a 10mL multi-dosed vial and a 30mL multi-dosed vial.
When is Lipo-C best administered:
Users can take Lipo-C daily upon waking up on an empty stomach. They can also administer Lipo-C prior to exercise during the day. If daily injections are not possible, they can take Lipo-C twice per week in higher volume.
Side effects:
Side effects associated with Lipo-C pertain to the injection itself. Due to the Ph level of Lipo-C, patients may experience mild to moderate “burning” and irritation at the injection site. Injecting Lipo-C slowly, up to 30 seconds, and also by using a ½” insulin needle for a deeper injection can minimize side effects. Although very rare, patients may experience a rash at the site of injection. Let the medical staff know of any side effects you experience.
Necessary Supplies:
- 1ml “insulin” syringes
- Alcohol swabs
- Sharps containerFrom Dr Rand McClain in Beverly Hills CA: “For Lipo-C, studies have shown that a combination of choline, L-carnitine and caffeine have improved body composition (reduced fat and increased muscle glycogen) in those that do not exercise and increased VO2 max (along with improving body composition even more so) in those that exercise. Choline (in various forms, bitartrate, chloride, and phosphatidyl) has long been used to reverse and prevent the accumulation of fat in the liver (“fatty liver”) and to lower ALT (liver enzyme) in athletes.
MIC-Lipo Capsules
The APS Pharmacy team developed MIC-Lipo capsules by observing current weight-loss protocols, which involve weekly MIC-Lipo injections. A weekly MIC-Lipo injection has been shown to significantly assist patients in fat loss who are eating a low calorie diet.
Physicians following such protocols are just scratching the surface of the potential of this nutraceutical compound. When the user takes MIC-Lipo, it remains active within the body for roughly a day. Some of the components, such as B12, may remain active longer due to storage in the liver. However, I have yet to find any conclusive evidence. In other words, when following a weekly MIC-Lipo injection protocol, the patient really only benefits from the MIC-Lipo for 1-2 days.
We developed MIC-Lipo capsules to supplement throughout the week in between injections in order to help patients take full advantage of the benefits of MIC-Lipo in addition to Chromium, which must be taken before meals for optimal efficacy.
