Lipo-C · LC120

Lipotropic injection of methionine, choline, carnitine, and dexpanthenol used in weight-loss protocols.

Key takeaways

Compounded lipotropic shot: methionine, choline, carnitine, and B5 at 15/50/50/5 mg/mL (120 mg total).
Reported clinic dosing is 1 mL IM or subQ one to three times per week.
No controlled trials of this blend; human weight-loss evidence for MIC-style shots is thin.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 120 in LC120 mean?

It's the total active mass per mL: 15 mg methionine + 50 mg choline + 50 mg L-carnitine + 5 mg dexpanthenol adds up to 120 mg/mL. The same naming pattern runs across the sibling blends (LC216, LC425, LC526).

Do lipotropic injections cause weight loss?

The evidence is weak. The biochemistry behind methionine, choline, and carnitine is plausible, but human data is limited to small older studies and clinic testimonials, with no robust controlled trials showing meaningful weight loss from MIC-style injections.

Is LC120 Lipo-C FDA-approved?

No. It's a compounded product prepared by pharmacies and sold through weight-loss clinics. Compounded products aren't FDA-approved, and this blend has no approved indication.
