Methionine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is not synthesized in humans. This means it must be consumed. Foods that contain high levels of methionine include cheese, eggs, fish, meats, spinach, potatoes, Brazil nuts, sesame seeds and some other plant seeds. However, by injecting Methionine into the muscle, we can improve the absorption in the body’s tissues and this is believed to result in more effective mobilization and elimination of abnormal fat deposits.
Inositol helps to maintain proper energy and nutrient transfer across the cell membrane. It also acts as lipotropic which converts fat into other useful products. Inositol helps establish healthy cell membranes. It is naturally found in foods such as nuts, beans, grains, cantaloupe and oranges. It is more effective in breaking down fat when given as an intramuscular injection.
Choline is a natural amine that is involved in the synthesis of carnitine, cell membrane phospholipids and neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Without choline, fats can become trapped in the liver, where they can block normal metabolic functions. Choline is found in peanuts, soybeans, wheat, chicken, fish, beef, cauliflower, eggs and lettuce.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is required for the proper development and function of the skin, lining of the digestive tract, blood cells, and many other parts of the body.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is required for cell respiration, helps in the release of energy and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, proper circulation and healthy skin, functioning of the nervous system, and normal secretion of bile and stomach fluids. People report more mental alertness when this vitamin is in sufficient supply. As a treatment, higher amounts of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower cardiovascular risks.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is part of more than 100 enzymes that engage in amino acid, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, including hormones and neurotransmitters. Pyridoxine provides the added benefit of induced energy levels, which encourages a more active lifestyle.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) is important for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and formation of the blood. B-12 also aids in providing an elevation in energy levels. This energy boost can provide a “pick-me-up” to increase metabolism and burn more calories.
L-Carnitine is a supplement that is naturally produced in the body. L-carnitine helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement, and many other body processes. L-Carnitine supplements have shown to improve exercise performance and endurance.
