The MICC Vitamin Injection contains the following ingredients:
Methionine 25 mg/ml
Inositol 50 mg/ml
Choline 50 mg/ml
Cyanocobalamin 700 mcg/ml
Chromium 200 mcg/ml
Methionine: is a naturally occurring amino acid which acts as a lipotropic agent to speed up removal of fat within the liver and to prevent excess fat buildup in the body. Methionine also helps prevent or relieve fatigue and aids in prevention of skin and nail problems. Moreover, the amino acid methionine is also a great antioxidant as the sulfur it supplies inactivates free radicals. Studies seem to show benefits in depression, arthritis pain as well as chronic liver disease, although these claims are still under investigation. Some studies have also indicated that methionine might improve memory recall.
Inositol: is part of the vitamin B complex. As a mild lipotropic agent, it aids in weight loss and the redistribution of body fat by breaking down or emulsifying fats in the body. Inositol is also vital for hair growth, and, as a component of lecithin, helps to prevent high cholesterol and the hardening of the arteries caused by cholesterol buildup. It has also been said to have a calming effect on the nervous system, and is being studied as a possible treatment for depression, panic attacks, and even Alzheimer’s disease.
Choline: Choline is also a part of the vitamin B family. In addition to its lipotropic effects, Choline assists in controlling your weight as well as cholesterol levels, keeps cell membranes healthy and helps prevent gallstones. It also helps in the maintenance of the nervous system, assisting memory and learning, and may help to fight fatigue and infections. When Choline is depleted in the body, fat metabolism and utilization may be decreased.
Cyanocobalamin: (Vitamin B12): Cyanocobalamin is the “energy vitamin” as it often increases the energy level helping to prevent fatigue. It also helps to suppress the appetite in weight loss programs as well as having a mild diuretic effect. It stimulates the utilization of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the body.
Chromium: is an essential mineral that is not made by the body. It is vital in regulation carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar regulation. Chromium has been shown to lower blood cholesterol while mildly raising HDL (the good cholesterol).
