Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) Injections

for Weight Loss

Losing those extra pounds is no easy task. A regular exercise plan and a healthy diet are the cornerstones of any weight loss program. But sometimes a supplemental treatment can support your hard work and give you an extra edge. Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) injections, can supercharge your weight loss efforts,  a non-invasive treatment that may help your body burn fat more efficiently. 

 

What are MIC injections and how do they work?

 

Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) injection consists of a formula of lipotropics, compounds that help break down fat. The primary compounds in the formula–methionine, inositol, choline–work to metabolize fat cells and assist in the elimination of stored fat deposits in the liver and body. Methionine is an essential amino acid, inositol is involved in proper cell formation, and choline is a water-soluble nutrient that supports proper liver function. Together they may encourage fat reduction.

The Treatment 

Our medical professionals will inject the MIC directly into a muscle. The injections site can be the buttocks, thigh, hip or upper arm. A dose of energy-boosting B12 may also be given during the appointment to enhance the treatment. Like any shot, an MIC injection may cause some discomfort. However, any pain usually passes quickly and patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the injection.

Injections are typically given bi-weekly, over a period of about 3 months.

Side Effects of MIC Injections 

There are few known serious side effects with MIC shots. However, some patients may experience mild swelling and redness at the injection site, upset stomach, or light headedness. If you have allergies, you should advise your medical professional before receiving treatment. Shots should only be administered by a medical professional who is qualified to assess your candidacy for the treatment.

The Results

When injected regularly, the compound formula may enhance the body’s fat-burning capacity. Results are not immediate, but may be visible in a short period of time. Not everybody responds the same way to the treatment and individual results will vary. For optimal effects, it is important to continue to exercise and follow a healthy, low calorie diet. MIC injections cannot address serious weight issues or obesity. They are meant to be part of a sustainable weight management program.

Will Insurance Cover MIC Injections?

Sadly, just as with most preventative and alternative health options,

MIC injections are not covered by insurance
