MIC Lipotropic + B12 Injections

Weekly MIC lipotropic injections combined with vitamin B12 at AlphaMan Men's Health Clinic in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. Methionine, inositol, and choline (MIC) are lipotropic compounds that support fat metabolism and liver function. Paired with B12 to support energy production and neurological health. Used as a standalone weekly protocol or as an adjunct to the clinic's GLP-1 medical weight loss program under Dr. Allen Lawrence's supervision.

AlphaMan Men's Health Clinic offers weekly MIC lipotropic plus B12 injections as a component of its weight management and metabolic optimization programs, administered under physician supervision by Dr. Allen Lawrence. MIC refers to a combination of three lipotropic compounds — methionine, inositol, and choline — each playing a specific role in fat metabolism and liver health. Methionine is an essential amino acid that serves as a methyl group donor in the transsulfuration pathway, supporting hepatic phospholipid synthesis, reducing hepatic fat accumulation, and acting as a precursor to cysteine and glutathione. Inositol is a sugar alcohol involved in cell membrane phospholipid composition, insulin signal transduction, and lipid transport from the liver — deficiency is associated with elevated hepatic triglyceride accumulation and impaired lipid export via VLDL. Choline is an essential nutrient that functions as the structural backbone of phosphatidylcholine, the principal phospholipid of cell membranes and VLDL lipoprotein particles; adequate choline is required for normal hepatic fat export, and choline deficiency produces steatohepatitis in animal models. Together, the MIC compounds support the liver's ability to process and export fat efficiently, complementing caloric restriction or GLP-1 therapy during active weight loss by reducing hepatic lipid accumulation and supporting fat oxidation pathways. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin) is included in the injection formulation to support cellular energy production via the electron transport chain and methylation cycle, neurological function and nerve myelin maintenance, red blood cell maturation and prevention of megaloblastic anemia, and mood and cognitive function. B12 is often included because dietary B12 insufficiency is common in older men, and GLP-1 medications can reduce gastric acid production (affecting intrinsic factor-mediated B12 absorption). Injections are administered intramuscularly on a weekly schedule, either as a standalone metabolic support protocol or as part of the clinic's broader medically supervised weight loss program.
