What is Lipo-C + B12 (The Skinny Shot)

Lipo-C + B12 injections combine lipotropic nutrients (fat-burning agents) with vitamin B12 to support metabolism, energy, and fat loss.

Common ingredients include:

  • L-Carnitine 20mg – helps transport fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy

  • L-Arginine 20mg – supports circulation and metabolism

  • Methionine 25mg – assists in fat breakdown and liver detoxification

  • Inositol 50mg – supports liver function and fat metabolism

  • Choline 50mg – helps transport fats out of the liver

  • Vitamin B6 & B5 25mg – support energy production

  • Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) 1mg – boosts energy, red blood cell production, and nerve function

Potential Benefits:

  • Enhanced fat metabolism

  • Increased natural energy

  • Improved liver health

  • Better recovery from exercise

  • Reduced mental fatigue

Possible Side Effects:

  • Mild soreness at injection site

  • Temporary upset stomach

  • Rare allergic reaction

  • Insomnia or jitteriness (if taken late in day)

📌 Always report unusual or severe symptoms to your healthcare provider.

How Lipo-C + B12 Works in the Body

  • Lipotropic compounds help your liver process and remove stored fat

  • B vitamins convert food into usable energy and support nerve function

  • L-Carnitine helps move fatty acids into mitochondria for fat-burning

  • Combined, they enhance metabolism, support liver detox, and improve energy

📌 Think of Lipo-C as a metabolic booster and B12 as your energy spark.

Proper Administration

Lipo-C + B12 is typically given via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SQ) injection.

Supplies:

  • Alcohol swabs

  • Syringe (usually 1 mL)

  • Needle (IM: 23–25 gauge, 1” / SQ: 27–31 gauge, ½”)

  • Lipo-C + B12 vial

Steps:

  1. Wash hands and prepare a clean workspace.

  2. Wipe vial top with an alcohol swab.

  3. Draw the prescribed amount into syringe.

  4. Choose injection site:

    • IM: Upper outer glute, thigh, or deltoid

    • SQ: Abdomen (2 in. away from naval) or outer thigh

  5. Clean the site with an alcohol swab.

  6. Insert needle quickly at the correct angle:

    • IM: 90° angle into the muscle

    • SQ: 45° angle into fatty tissue

  7. Inject medication slowly. A slight burning sensation is normal. If the pain is too much, administer it via IM.

  8. Withdraw needle, apply light pressure with swab.

  9. Dispose of needle in a sharps container.

📌 Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation.

Proper Dosing (5-10 Week Protocol)

Dosing may vary based on your provider’s recommendations, but a common schedule is:

Typical protocol:

  • 0.5 mL to 1 mL (50-100 units if using insulin syringe) per injection

  • 1–3 times per week

  • Duration: 5–10 weeks depending on goals

Example:

  • 1 mL twice weekly for 8 weeks = 16 injections total

  • Can be combined with healthy diet and exercise for optimal results

📌 Do not exceed recommended dosing. More is not always better.
