Lipotropic injections are commonly used as a component of a weight loss program. Lipotropic nutrients are a class of agents that play important roles in the body’s use of fat. These compounds are known to enhance liver and gallbladder function by decreasing fat deposits and contributing to a healthy metabolism.

Many substances have lipotropic properties of which methionine, inositol, and choline are among the most note-worthy. When these nutrients are combined in parenteral form they are sometimes called MIC injections.
