At Glendale Whole Health, we offer MIC injections to support metabolism, liver health and fat utilization. These “lipotropic” nutrients help your body mobilize stored fat, improve energy and aid detox pathways.
MIC stands for Methionine, Inositol and Choline — three nutrients that work together to support healthy fat metabolism and liver function. MIC injections are often combined with vitamin B12 for added energy and cognitive support.
Why MIC Injections?
While lifestyle, nutrition and exercise are the foundation of weight management, sometimes the body needs a metabolic boost. Stress, toxins, hormone imbalance and sluggish liver pathways can make it harder to lose weight despite doing “everything right.” MIC injections help by:
- Supporting the liver’s ability to process fats
- Promoting the release of stored fat into circulation for energy
- Helping prevent excess fat buildup in the liver (fatty liver)
- Enhancing overall metabolism and detoxification
What’s in MIC?
- Methionine – An essential amino acid that helps break down fats and reduce fat deposits in the liver
- Inositol – Supports fat metabolism, insulin sensitivity and healthy mood
- Choline – Essential for liver function, detoxification and methylation pathways
When paired with Vitamin B12, MIC injections may also improve energy, focus and red blood cell health.

How We Use MIC at Glendale Whole Health
MIC injections are given intramuscularly and typically take only seconds to administer. They are safe, well-tolerated and can be used alone or as part of a broader plan. Many patients pair MIC with:
- Weight loss programs (including GLP-1 support when indicated)
- Detox and liver support protocols
- B12 or B-complex injections
- IV nutrient therapy (such as our Weight Loss IV with MIC, L-carnitine and taurine)
Safety and Functional Medicine Approach
At Glendale Whole Health, we don’t use MIC injections in isolation. We evaluate your whole metabolic picture, including:
- Nutrition and lifestyle patterns
- Hormones such as thyroid, cortisol and insulin
- Detox capacity and toxin exposure
- Micronutrient status
This ensures MIC injections are part of a safe and effective plan tailored to your needs.
Evaluating Your Needs
MIC injections are not a magic bullet, but they can be a powerful tool to support fat metabolism, energy and liver health when combined with the right nutrition and lifestyle foundation.
