Why take B12 injections? 

Vitamin B-12 gives you a huge energy boost, which helps you to burn calories.  Vitamin B12 is essential for helping to form new, healthy cells in the body.  It also boosts energy, helping to increase activity levels.

We offer B12 by itself because some people just want the energy, not the weight loss, and others who want to lose weight but have a sulfa allergy can take this and at least boost their energy so they burn more calories.  The results are slower with the B12 by itself, but it does help.  Vitamin B12 is a vitamin typically found in meat and dairy products.  It helps in the formation of red blood cells and is essential to nervous system functioning.  B12 creates a significant energy boost for the body.  Patients who take it feel like moving around more and tend to burn more calories through increased movement. 

Does the lost weight come back when you stop using the B-12 or Lipo B injections? 

These injections are set up to be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program.  As with anything with weight loss, the only way to keep the weight off long term is to change your lifestyle. 

Can an appetite suppressant be taken along with the injections? 

Yes, you can take appetite suppressants with these injections.  In fact, they enhance your weight loss results.  We offer supplements to aide in your weight loss. 
What is Lipo-B injections and how does it work?

Lipo-B injections are a Vitamin Cocktail that helps to burn away unwanted Fat Stores in your body.  This vitamin cocktail compound will enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder.  

Lipotropics are three amino acids that are essential for the health of your liver.  The liver is an organ responsible for removing fat and toxins from your body, so when it's healthier, it will work better for you.  

By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver.  

What are The key amino acids used to make the Lipo-B shots?

 Choline, Methione, and Inositol. 

 -Choline supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body.  Moreover, it is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body, which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular and hepatic systems.

 -Methione is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids and is important for many bodily functions.  It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body, is helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces histamine release. 

-Inositol, a nutrient belonging to the B vitamin complex, is closely associated with choline.  It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol.  Inositol participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.  

Which is better to use for weight loss- B12 alone or with Lipotropics? 

The B12 with lipotropics will help you to lose weight faster than the B12 alone.

Can I take these injections if I have high blood pressure? 
Yes, several patients may no longer need their blood pressure medications after losing weight. 
I am taking other prescription medications.  Can I still use these injections? 
These injections are very safe and will not interfere with other medications that you are on.  However, it is always best to consult your physician before starting any weight loss program.
