Methionine is an essential amino acid that our body cannot produce, but can only get from food. Methionine is required to make protein to build muscle and create other amino acids, as well as responsible for lipolysis (the breakdown of fat). Methionine is commonly used as an agent to help with weight loss by preventing accumulation of fat in the liver and the cardiovascular system. Also, methionine helps regulate blood sugar levels that will allow you to cope with overeating and allow for efficient use of nutrients derived from food.
Choline is a molecule mostly used for either its cognitive boosting properties (turning into acetylcholine, the learning neurotransmitter) or as a liver health agent, able to reduce fatty liver buildup. Found in high amounts in eggs, yolks in particular.
Inositol usually refers to Myo-inositol, a small molecule structurally similar to glucose that is involved in cellular signaling. It is effective in treating insulin resistance and reducing anxiety.
L-Carnitine is a necessary amino acid that must be obtained through diet, however, only a fraction of L-Carnitine is absorbed during oral digestion. L-Carnitine is in the Lipo+ injection to help with fatty acid metabolism and weight loss, protect against heart disease, reduce fatigue, improve circulation for chronic pain, and aid in the recovery from working out.
Arginine is a necessary amino acid that is important for blood flow and nitric oxide levels. Arginine is known to have poor oral absorption, and best absorbed through an injection. Arginine improves blood flow by directly producing nitric oxide via the nitric oxide synthase enzymes.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is necessary for the proper functioning of the muscles, nervous system and heart. Thiamine deficiency has been known to cause insomnia, fatigue, depression, constipation, irritability, heart problems and stomach problems. Thiamine is abundant in organ meats, soybeans, egg yolks, poultry, broccoli, and asparagus.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) works with other B vitamins to produce red blood cells and help generate energy from carbohydrates. Vitamin B2 has antioxidant properties by assisting the breakdown of homocysteine. Homocysteine is a compound known for inflammation and linked to heart disease and blood vessel disease. Although deficiency is rare, signs and symptoms of riboflavin deficiency include: cracks at the corners of the mouth (angular cheilitis), cracked lips, dry skin, inflammation of the lining of the mouth and tongue, mouth ulcers, and iron-deficiency anemia. Riboflavin is found in eggs, organ meats, milk, mushrooms, spinach and other green vegetables.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is required for a healthy liver, healthy skin, hair, and to assist the nervous system function properly. As with other B-complex vitamins, Vitamin B3 helps the body convert food into fuel and use fat as energy. Niacin is important in improving blood flow and is often used to improve the circulatory system. Niacin is used as a treatment of high cholesterol, migraine headache, dizziness, and acne. Since niacin improves blood flow, it has been shown to promote relaxation. Niacin can be found in fish such as tuna, sardines, salmon, and poultry (chicken, turkey) and beef. Deficiency can cause indigestion, fatigue, canker sores, vomiting, poor circulation, and depression.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) is responsible for the production of coenzyme A that is associated with the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates as energy sources. Pantothenic acid is found in organ meats, egg yolk, and broccoli, fish, shellfish, chicken, milk, yogurt, mushrooms, and avocado. Deficiencies are rare, but pantothenic acid deficiency may result in fatigue, insomnia, depression, irritability, vomiting, abdominal and leg muscle cramps.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is an important cofactor of many enzymes involved in lipid and amino acid metabolism as well as the conversion of glycogen to glucose, increasing energy and burning carbs and fat storage. B6 prevents the accumulation of fat, and some experts believe that vitamin B6 increases thyroid hormone function to speed up metabolism resulting in weight loss.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is an essential nutrient required for DNA synthesis and ATP production. Commonly found in animal products and food, this vitamin helps weight loss by increasing energy levels and fat metabolism. A deficiency in B12 results in fatigue, mood changes, and memory loss, preventing you from feeling your best and performing at your highest energy level. If you are a vegetarian or have a diet low in meat, you may need B12 supplementation.
