Lipotropics

Lipotropic (MIC) compounds are a combination of three essential ingredients (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) that help improve the breakdown of fat. These compounds work to enhance the function of your liver by increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder.

=Methionine, preventing buildup of fatty deposits in the blood vessels which cause coronary artery disease and blockages in other parts of the body including the neck and legs. It is also instrumental in helping to detoxify or cleanse the liver of the toxins that the liver normally removes from the circulating blood. These toxins are the byproducts of foods, alcohol and medications/drugs that you take, and everyone has the potential for build up of these damaging toxins. Adequate levels of Methionine are also showing to be important in the prevention of lung cancer. In a new study from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, researcher Paul Brennan, PhD reports “Vitamin B6 and methionine are strongly associated with reducing lung cancer risk in people who never smoked, those who quit, and current smokers.

Choline is essential for fat metabolism and also assists in detoxification of the liver. Choline supplements may reduce homocysteine levels in the blood, thus reducing the likelihood of heart disease. Choline is often taken as a form of ;smart drug', is a precursor or building block of acetylcholine. Research suggests that memory, intelligence, and mood are improved by adequate levels of choline.

Inositol is a vitamin-like substance that is instrumental in breaking down fat molecules and reducing cholesterol in the body. It is also associated with proper insulin function which is necessary for the utilization of carbohydrates. Inositol is also key in modulating serotonin levels, with serotonin being partially responsible for feelings of well-being versus depression. Inositol is also used for diabetic nerve pain, panic disorder, insomnia, cancer, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, psoriasis and promoting hair growth.

Vitamin B-6 is required by your body for utilization of energy in the foods you eat, the production of red blood cells, and the proper functioning of nerves. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency resulting from poor diet, certain medications, and some medical conditions.

 Vitamin B-12 is another nutrient necessary for a proper central nervous system function. Since red meats are the most significant source of Vitamin B12 in our diets, many of us are deficient and do not realize it. Many people who take this as a supplement on a regular basis report they have more energy, healthier immune systems, fewer allergies, stress, depression, more stamina, better sleep, and less frequent, less severe headaches.

Vitamin B12 injections are now being used to treat early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and as a treatment for children with autism and similar disabilities.

Adenosine (in the form used in this formulation) is known to increase energy by enhancing metabolism through the intercellular transfer of energy. It also promotes a sensation of satiety or “fullness”. Because of its vasodilatation effects, some people may experience symptoms such as facial flushing, lightheadedness or a metallic taste.

 L-Carnitine in Lipo C contributes to energy metabolism by facilitating the breakdown of excess triglycerides in the blood. It has been shown to improve neurotransmitter function in the brain, especially in elderly patients. It also exhibits a substantial antioxidant effect and causes improved glucose metabolism while helping build lean muscle mass. L-carnitine has also proven effective in treating some causes of male infertility and kidney disease.
