Lipo-C
Also: MIC injection · Lipotropic blend
Classic medspa 'fat-burner shot' — lipotropic amino acids plus B-vitamins.
Lipo-C is the umbrella name for MIC-family injections used in weight-management clinics. The constituents are FDA-approved individually as dietary supplements or B-vitamins, but the compounded injectable is not approved as a single drug product. Evidence for stand-alone fat loss is weak; it is most useful as an adjunct to diet, training, and GLP-1 protocols.
Compounded injection of methionine, inositol, choline (MIC) typically with B12 and L-carnitine. Supports hepatic fat metabolism and shuttles fatty acids for oxidation.
