Lipo-C - Who's using / what doses?

Hey Folks,

I'm curious to see who is using Lipo-C, what your dose/injection schedule is, and what your results (subjective or not) are so far.

I recently started with Defy. Dr. Saya had no problem adding Lipo-C to my regimen. (I'm dying for more energy, and also want to lose fat / maintain muscle as I diet to get back in shape).

It appears that there's a lot of flexibility in terms of how much and how often to inject Lipo-C, with the only downside to more and more often being higher cost. I've been guided to start with 1ml 2-3x per week. But the Defy website mentions a high end of 1ml every day! (see below)



How to Administer Lipo-C:
Using a 5/8" 25g or 26g needle, inject 1ml-3ml of Lipo-C twice per week.
As an alternative, Lipo-C can be injected daily. Using a 1/2" "insulin" syringe, inject 1ml of Lipo-C subcutaneously every morning.

Money is not an issue for me right now - and I'm thinking about 1ml EOD or something for the first month to kind of "kick start" things. But wanted to get your feedback first.

Lipo-C: A Complete Guide on Lipotropic Injections for Liver Health and Fat Loss​

Lipo-C injections have become increasingly popular as an adjunct method for metabolic health and weight control. These lipotropic formulations are designed to enhance liver function, preserve muscle mass, and accelerate fat metabolism. Based on current data from Defy Medical, this guide explores the composition, mechanisms, applications, and administration of Lipo-C injections, providing a comprehensive look at this fat-burning therapy.

What is Lipo-C?​

Lipo-C is a specialized lipotropic injection intended to trigger the body's fat-burning mechanisms while maintaining lean muscle mass. "Lipotropic" compounds facilitate the breakdown of fat in the body and aid in the export of fat from the liver. Typically used in conjunction with comprehensive weight loss programs involving proper diet and consistent exercise, these injectables ensure that excess fat is converted into energy instead of being stored in tissues.

The lipotropic agents in Lipo-C assist in preventing fat storage in the liver, thereby supporting efficient fat metabolism and preserving metabolic health. When fat and bile accumulate in the liver, metabolic rates can decline, impairing the body's natural fat-burning processes.

Main Functions of Lipo-C​

Lipo-C injections serve multiple physiological functions beyond weight management:

• Enhance liver health by removing fat deposits that can impair liver function
• Improve metabolic efficiency by aiding fat-to-energy conversion
• Target stubborn fat areas (abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, hips)
• Deliver high bioavailability via direct bloodstream administration

Lipo-C Injection Composition​

Lipo-C typically includes a balanced mix of B vitamins, amino acids, and lipotropic agents formulated to boost fat metabolism and general health.

Key Ingredients​

1. L-Carnitine: Essential for transporting fatty acids into mitochondria where they are oxidized to produce energy.
2. Choline: Supports liver health, fat metabolism, brain development, muscle movement, and nervous system function.
3. L-Methionine: Helps maintain lean muscle mass during calorie restriction and supports protein synthesis.
4. B5 (Dexpanthenol): Assists in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates; aids in red blood cell and hormone production.

Customized Formulations​

Different pharmacies offer variations:

• Hallandale Formula (Bio Boost Plus):
  • Methionine: 25 mg/ml
  • Inositol: 50 mg/ml
  • Choline: 50 mg/ml
  • Pyridoxine HCL: 25 mg/ml
  • Dexpanthenol: 25 mg/ml
  • Cyanocobalamin: 1 mg/ml
  • L-Arginine HCL: 15 mg/ml
  • L-Carnitine: 15 mg/ml
  • Benzyl alcohol, Lidocaine
• Empower Formula:
  • Methionine: 15 mg/ml
  • Choline: 50 mg/ml
  • L-Carnitine: 50 mg/ml
  • B5 (Dexpanthenol): 5 mg/ml

Mechanisms of Action​

Lipo-C works through key physiological mechanisms:

Fat Metabolism Enhancement​

Lipotropic agents aid fat breakdown and energy production. L-carnitine transports fatty acids to mitochondria, increasing the body’s ability to burn stored fat.

Hepatic Support​

Lipotropic ingredients stimulate lecithin production, which emulsifies fats and facilitates liver fat export. This supports liver function, controls cholesterol, and may help reduce vascular deposits.

Dosage and Administration​

Recommended Dosage​

Typical doses range from 1 to 3 ml, 2–3 times per week, tailored to body weight, metabolic rate, and treatment goals. Always follow a clinician’s guidance.

Administration Methods​

1. Subcutaneous (SubQ): Injected into fat under the skin; often used for self-administration.
2. Intramuscular (IM): Preferred for higher doses or faster absorption.

Defy Medical provides:

• Lipo-C vial
• Syringes, needles, alcohol wipes
• Sharps containers
• Self-injection training
• In-clinic administration (Tampa, FL)

Uses and Benefits​

Weight Management​

Effective in targeting resistant fat deposits when combined with diet and exercise. Injections bypass digestion, enhancing ingredient availability.

Energy and Metabolism Support​

Improves cellular energy, mood, and physical performance by converting stored fat into usable energy and supporting vitamin B metabolism.

Liver Health​

Supports enzyme production, reduces fat accumulation, and improves hepatic function. Can be used alongside therapies for liver dysfunction.

Combination Therapies​

Lipo-C can be paired with:

• B12 Injections: Enhances metabolism and energy
• B-Complex: Broader B vitamin support
• NAD+ Injections: Boosts mitochondrial energy production
• Fat-Burning Capsules: Supports multiple metabolic pathways
• LipoSculpt Cream: A topical option for localized fat loss

Use combinations under medical supervision to ensure safety and efficacy.

Pricing and Options​

Defy Medical offers several Lipo-C options:

• 10mL LIPO-C (APS or Hallandale): $59
• 10mL LIPO-C (Empower): $65
• 30mL LIPO-C (Hallandale or Empower): $99
• Fat Loss Kit (30mL LIPO-C + 10mL B12): $149

Storage Guidelines​

• Store in a refrigerator once opened
• Avoid direct light exposure
• No reconstitution required

Final Thoughts​

Lipo-C injections provide a targeted method for enhancing fat metabolism, supporting liver health, and improving energy levels. With formulations tailored to individual needs, they represent a versatile tool in metabolic health programs. Optimal results depend on proper dosing, consistent administration, and integration with a healthy lifestyle.

 

Weight loss and reduction of body fat. I also train 5x a week and eat clean though so it's just a little factor in all that I do.

 

Any of you fellows still using Lipo-c? I'd like to hear about your experiences and how much weight did you lose?

I would be interested as well.
Looking into Sermorelin as well as Lipo C for my wife and I and would love to see some results from those who used it for a while.

 

I received my Lipo-C this week and started it. I must have made a mistake by refrigerating it as I now can see the bottom layer has crystalized.

Hmm.. https://www.empowerpharmacy.com/drugs/lipo-c-mic-injection.html
How should I store this medicine? [FONT=&quot]Refrigerate this medication at 2°-8°C (36°-46°F) [/FONT]

My wife uses it. The paperwork that came with the last vial said to store it at room temperature. We use to keep it in the frig. We have another shipment en-route along with my HCG (ground/no ice pack) and should arrive by Wednesday. I'll be curious what this paperwork states.

I tried it a while back and it didn't do anything for me. My wife swears it gives her more energy, but hasn't helped her with weight loss as far as she can tell. She follows weight watchers standards.

 

I'm still using it, but now only once per week as part of a maintenance program. I was never trying to lose weight, and if anything am still trying to gain weight/muscle, so can't help from that perspective. I think it makes me feel healthier overall, vs. some sort of energy boost. I think the only way you'd feel a direct effect from it would be if you were already deficient in one of the ingredients.

My opinion is that if someone wanted weight/fat loss benefits, and were already going to the gym on a regular basis, they would notice a difference, especially if they were already lean. However, if someone isn't already doing the right things from an exercise perspective I don't think Lipo-C is going to do anything noticable. (personal opinion)

 

If you spent the 75 bucks you had to eat with getting the Lipo-C you may lose some weight.
