Slim Shot

Lipotropic Energy Injection

Intended for use for patients who need energy, weight loss or to improve exercise tolerance. 

Methionine, is an amino acidwhich helps the liver maintain the optimal ability to process fatty acids

Inositol, aids in the transport of fat into and out of the liver and intestinal cells, acts synergistically with choline, exhibiting more lipotropic activity than when administered alone.

Choline, stimulates the mobilization of fatty acids and prevents their deposition in fatty tissue. Hanin et al. (1987) reported that choline plays an important role in the metabolism of fat; it breaks fat down for use as an energy source. This action of choline makes it valuable in preventing conditions like fatty liver or excess fat in the blood. Choline’s efficient metabolism of fats has also been linked to a greater level of satiety, which, in turn, leads to a decreased consumption of calories, resulting in overall weight loss.

Inositol, which aids in the transport of fat into and out of the liver and intestinal cells, acts synergistically with choline, exhibiting more lipotropic activity than when administered alone.

Vitamin B12, which is essential for cellular energy production as well as DNA synthesis.

L-Carnitine - Carnitine is an amino acid which is required for the transport and breakdown of body fat for the generation of metabolic energy. Studies show that L-Carnitine supplementation can decrease fat mass, preserve muscle during exercise, and reduce muscle fatigue. Further research over the last decade has shed new light on the importance of L-carnitine as a regulator of skeletal muscle fuel selection, which means it is needed to determine whether muscle tissue utilizes carbohydrates or fat for energy

Injection containing the above ingredients is given weekly. Combined in conjunction with a low sugar, low carb diet and moderate exercise may be helpful for more rapid weight loss and improved energy. 

Because this is a nutritional supplement intended for weight loss and to improve energy it is not covered by Medicare of any other insurance. 

Injection fee $35.
