Lipo Shots for Energy & Metabolism
Quick injections that combine nutrients the body uses to process fat, together with vitamin B12. They're a popular boost alongside any of our weight loss programs.
Nutrients that support how your body uses fat
Lipotropic ("lipo") injections usually contain a blend of methionine, inositol and choline (often called MIC), plus vitamin B12. These nutrients help the liver process and move fat, and they support normal energy metabolism.
Lipo shots are not a weight loss medication on their own. Patients use them as a supporting tool alongside a healthy eating plan, more activity and, when appropriate, a prescription program like semaglutide, tirzepatide or phentermine.
Shots take just a few minutes at either office. Many patients get them weekly.

Frequently asked questions
Will lipo shots make me lose weight by themselves?
No injection replaces nutrition and activity. Lipo shots support your metabolism and energy as part of an overall plan.
How often should I get them?
Weekly is common, but your provider will recommend the right schedule for you.
Do they hurt?
Most people feel only a quick pinch. The injection takes a few seconds.
Can I add them to my GLP-1 or phentermine plan?
Yes. Many patients add lipo shots to their regular visits. Phentermine programs already include a monthly B12 shot.
