MIC Shot for Weightloss
Supporting Weight Loss with MIC Injections
The days are getting shorter, the air is crisper, and Halloween and holiday treats are on our horizon. These times of indulgence with rich, high-calorie delights, can be a burden to our metabolism and liver. And let’s face it, Portland's gloomy weather doesn’t lend itself to outdoor exercise.
Fear not, because there exists a scientifically-backed solution to help cleanse the liver and maintain a healthy weight.
Let’s dive into the science behind what makes these injections a tool in your winter
wellness arsenal. At its core, Lipotropic MIC injections are a blend of three essential compounds: methionine, inositol, and choline. This combination of compounds impacts your body’s ability to move and metabolize fat.
Methionine: As an essential amino acid, it is not synthesized within our bodies, making it a critical dietary component. It is classified as a lipotrope, because it helps break down fat (1). Methionine rich foods include: nuts, meat, fish, and eggs (2); the American diet does not typically lend itself to deficiency. Methionine's role in liver metabolism is well-documented with evidence that supplementation helps repair liver damage when in deficiency (3). There is a fine balance here, however as too much methionine is also not good.
Inositol plays a pivotal role in aiding your liver's detoxification process and fat metabolism. Scientific studies have shown that inositol, may yield results in fat breakdown. In fact, supplementation with inositol is associated with lower body mass index (4)! You'll find this gem naturally occurring in nuts, beans, cantaloupe, oranges, and other wholesome foods.
Choline is often referred to as the unsung hero of liver health, as it is a vital player in waste disposal, fat metabolism, and also muscle metabolism (5,6). It's not just a random inclusion; it's an essential compound naturally produced by your body to combat fat. Studies even suggest that choline supplementation may stave off fatigue in athletes (7).
These injections don't just speed up fat metabolism; they temporarily give your metabolic system a boost. Remember that MIC injections work best in tandem with a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen. Think of fat as a potential energy source; when you mobilize it, you unleash a newfound vitality and need to exercise to use this energy.
If weight-loss is your goal, we cannot expect one shot to make this happen. MIC injections are best done in conjunction with regular exercise and decreased calories with a series of 1-2 injections per week for about 4-12 weeks. It's not just about numbers on a scale. Your health journey encompasses maintaining healthy blood pressure, optimal cholesterol levels, efficient metabolic function, and balanced blood sugar. These indicators offer a comprehensive view of your well-being.
So, while you savor those delectable holiday treats, let these Lipotropic MIC injections be your scientifically-supported ally against the perils of winter weight gain. Let's embrace the season with energy, vitality, and an unwavering commitment to your well-being.
With love,
