Lipo BC Lipotropic Combination Pills

Has anyone tried these before? I have never heard of them. The desciption doesn't really say what is in them. Thanks!
of fat. Many substances have Lipotropic properties of which choline, inositol and
methionine are among the most noteworthy. Through their involvement in lipid (fat)
metabolism, Lipotropics help maintain a healthy liver.
Choline & Inositol are co-enzymes that are required for the proper metabolism of fats,
and have the ability to remove fat from the liver. Choline's function in fat metabolism is
tied to its role in bile production. Without choline, fats can become trapped in the liver,
where they can block normal metabolic functions. Choline and inositol are necessary for
normal nerve and brain function.
Choline is a fat emulsifier which aids in emulsifying cholesterol so that it doesn't settle on
arterial walls. Choline works well with inositol to utilize fats and cholesterol. The body can
produce choline, with the help of vitamin B12, folic acid and methionine. Natural choline
production however, may not always be adequate to meet daily needs. Studies show that
diets deficient in choline lead to undesirable changes to liver, kidney and brain functions.
Inositol metabolizes fats and cholesterol and aids in transporting fat in the blood system.
Thus, inositol is an aid in the redistribution of body fat and can help to lower cholesterol
levels. It is a member of the B-Complex group and is a Lipotropic agent. A lack of inositol
has been shown to produce an accumulation of triglycerides in the liver.
Methionine has Lipotropic properties similar to those of choline. Two other important
amino acids, cysteine and taurine, depend on adequate levels of methionine for their
biosynthesis in the body. Methionine is one of the nutrients required during the body's
manufacture of choline and a deficiency of this amino acid will adversely affect fat
metabolism.
Methionine is a Lipotropic amino acid which reduces fat and aids in lowering cholesterol.
It can be substituted for choline, which aids in reducing liver fat and detoxifies amines,
which are by-products of protein metabolism. A deficiency may lead to fatty degeneration
and cirrhosis of the liver.
How are Lipotropics given?
Physicians generally prescribe 1.5 cc initially, then 1 cc per week injected intramuscularly
Definitely try it!
I think I am going to the same doctor's clinic in Montebllo for the 1st time next week to get a Lipo BC injection. However, I am a bit nervous as I am unfamiliar with his office/practice. Can you reassure me by letting me know if you are still seeing him and if you recommend him as well?
Your help is greatly apprecaited.
Thanks.
