MIC Injections and Their Role in Weight Management

By Ollie Anerson


L-Methionine, Inositol and Choline are the basis for the acronym called: MIC. These are lipotrophic agents which help with the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body.

As part of a successful hCG Protocol, physicians add MIC injections as a therapy to augment a patient's weight loss experience. Since hCG releases much fat into the body, lipotrophic injections help move fat out of the liver. Additional injections which compliment the MIC are sometimes added like B6, and B12, or other compounds like Cyanocobalamin, which in pairing with MIC, work together to enhance the hCG program.

The human body can't produce L-Methionine, one of the 8 essential amino acids in the building blocks of protien. L-Methionine is not only used as a supplement by injection or ingestion, it is also found in many vegetables like potatoes and spinach, dairy products and meats, and sesame seeds and Brazil nuts. Vegetarians are routinely recommended to use L-Methionine to supplement their diet, as well as patients with liver disease are advised to take it.

For weight management, L- Methionine helps the body process and eliminate fat. Also, this is an essential amino acid to help produce taurine and cysteine, which aid the body in getting rid of toxins.

Not determined to be a sugar, inositol is a carbohydrate that was thought of as a part of the vitamin B complex family, but is not a traditional vitamin since the body can synthesize it. Additionally, it can be found in many different fruits like oranges and bananas, and cantaloupe, and in things like peanuts and raisins.

In the management of weight, inositol, when used in combination with other B complex vitamins, helps the liver break down fats in the body, and when used in combination with other compounds in a MIC injection, especially choline, inositol forms lecithin which is known to aid in the metabolism of fat.

Choline is considered an essential nutrient that, while produced in the liver, is generally not produced in sufficient quantities. Many times grouped with vitamins in the B complex, similar to inositol, it is not actually a B vitamin. Choline is required in the regulation of the kidneys, liver and gallbladder.

As part of a weight loss program, choline is essential for fat metabolism, it functions as a methyl donor and it assists detoxification reactions in the liver.

Two great sources to get choline is from foods like soybeans and eggs, but it is also found in beef liver, tofu, cauliflower, and almonds.

Inositol and choline have been known to actually decrease symptoms from depression and help increase mental function, and these are part of a successful hCG protocol, that are given as MIC injections every week for the rest of the treatments.
