VIVE WELLNESS 7950 S LINCOLN ST STE 111I, LITTLETON, CO 80122 Lipotropic Injection Consent What are Lipotropics Injections? Lipotropic injections are used to help release fat deposits in some parts of the body. Some of these areas include the stomach, inner thighs, neck, buttocks and hips. Lipotropic, or fat burning, substances include methionine which helps the liver remove fat; inositol, similar to methionine; choline, which distributes cholesterol and prevents it from getting deposited in one part of the body. In some cases, a combination of these may be given. Injections can be administered up to twice a week. B12 is purported by its users and practitioners to help speed up the overall metabolic processes and create a greater feeling of overall energy. Because lipotropics directly aid fat breakdown and are closely related to B vitamins, when used together they are thought to intensify each others' effects. The amino acids stimulate the liver into optimizing the process of metabolism. These injections boost the metabolic power of the body. The injections are only effective temporarily. As soon as the effect of these substances wears out, the body starts returning to normal gradually. What Is In a Lipotropic Injection? Vitamin B1 - Essential for glucose (sugar) metabolism. Vitamin B2 - Breaks down protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Vitamin B6 - Aids in the production of important neurotransmitters in the brain that help to limit food cravings. Vitamin B12 - Essential vitamin that helps form new healthy cells in the body. It acts as an energy booster, helping increase activity level, improve sleep patterns and provide relief from allergies and stress. Methionine - An amino acid that contains sulfur. It helps prevent the buildup of excess fat in the liver. Inositol - One of the nutrients that belongs to the B vitamin complex. It works to reduce blood cholesterol and support the metabolism of fat. Choline - Helps to transport fat and cholesterol, as well as help the liver eliminate chemical waste products.
