Injectable Medications Offered at Our Tampa and Brandon, Florida Medical Weight Loss Centers

Our main injectables are called Lipotropic Nutrients. These nutrients are compounds that by definition decrease the deposit of fat, or speed up the removal of fat within the liver. The combination Lipotropic that we utilize contains Methionine, Inositol and Choline.

Methionine: This is an amino acid which is important for many bodily functions. It prevents excess fat buildup in the liver and the body, is helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue and helps to prevent skin and nail problems.

Inositol: This is a B complex vitamin. It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol. It assists in breaking down fats within the body. It also participates in action with serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.

Choline: Also a B complex vitamin. This supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of waste products within the body. It is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body. It also prevents fatigue.

B6: Another B complex vitamin. It aids in regulating the production of thyroid hormone and ensures the smooth functioning of your metabolism system. This vitamin can be deficient in women taking contraceptive medications. Signs of a Vitamin B-6 deficiency include: depression, anxiety, loss of libido, insomnia, water retention, inability to process glucose.

B12: This is a B complex vitamin. It can increase your energy level as well as help to prevent fatigue. It can also assist in the weight loss process by suppressing your appetite. The primary functions of this vitamin are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. It is also necessary for the synthesis of DNA. This vitamin is particularly important to anyone on a vegetarian diet, as it is in the foods that a vegetarian does not eat. Therefore, vegetarians are at a greater risk of a deficiency, which can be slow to appear. Sometimes it may take years to deplete the normal body stores of B12. Certain drugs can also decrease the absorption of B12 from the gut. Some of those are the medications used to treat gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer disease (Prilosec, Pepcid, Zantac, Tagamet, Pepsid..etc), as well as the diabetic medication Metformin.
