Fit Familia Weight Management Program

Lipotropic Injection Information/Benefits:

Lipotropic nutrients are a class of natural ingredients that play important role in the body’s use of fat. These compounds enhance the liver and gallbladder’s role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up metabolism of fat and its removal.

The lipotropic injections we use are formulated with the following components and each provide several benefits.  

• Methionine is an essential amino acid which means our bodies don’t manufacture it and it must be obtained through diet or supplementation.  It assists in the breakdown of fats within the liver, helps lower cholesterol, prevents excess fat buildup in the body, helps alleviate and prevent fatigue, and can even provide help with allergies due to its ability to reduce histamine release in the body.

 

• Inositol is a B-vitamin that promotes healthy cellular structure and promotes healthy nerve function.  It aids in the metabolism and breakdown of fats in the body, reduces cholesterol, interacts and plays a part in insulin signaling, and aids in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome in several of these mechanisms.  It can even help with control and balance of mood and appetite as it participates in serotonin action.

 

• Choline is an essential nutrient that supports the liver in processing and removal of waste in the body and improves liver function overall.  It is required from transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol in the body which allows it to help normalize cholesterol levels.  It supports metabolic function overall and aids in memory specifically while supporting a healthy nervous system.

 

• Cyanocobalamin, or vitamin B-12 plays many roles in the body.  It is particularly important in building and replicating DNA.  It helps support a healthy nervous system and nerve function, helps with formation of blood cells, and detoxifies the body.  It plays a role in regulating and improving sleep patterns, mood, and appetite, slows aging, and supports a health liver.  Energy levels are boosted by cyanocobalamin and it can increase your metabolic rate.
