Lipotropic injections primarily function to reduce the amount of excess fat that is stored in the body when used as part of a medical weight loss treatment. The medication works by helping maintain the health of the liver so that the liver can more efficiently process the fat that has been stored and tell the body to use the stored fat for energy. Since the body is using stored fat for energy rather than surrounding lean muscle, lipotropic injections also help to maintain lean muscle mass and prevent muscle atrophy with the influx of physical activity that is part of the weight loss program. The active ingredients within the lipotropic injections help to boost the metabolism, further burning fat, which includes vitamin B12 which is a great natural energy booster. With elevated energy levels and a boosted metabolism, your body will have the energy to function properly throughout the entire day to help you to include a healthy workout routine which directly leads to significant weight loss.

The total amount of weight that a person is able to lose while taking lipotropic injections is highly dependent on the individual. The injections should be administered as part of a medical weight loss program, so it depends on how much of a caloric deficit diet they are maintaining, and how frequently they are exercising alongside the injectable treatment to determine how much weight they will lose. However, it is common for patients who are properly maintaining their diet and exercise for their weight loss treatment to lose somewhere between 2 to 4 pounds per week. It will also depend on your physical condition before the treatment starts as well and how far into the treatment you are to determine how much weight you will realistically be able to lose on a weekly basis.

As with all new medications, it is important to consult with a medical professional to see if you would be considered a good fit and would benefit from lipotropic injections. Unlike other medical weight loss medications, lipotropic injections are not intended for significant weight loss and should only be used on patients who are of good health with a normal BMI and who do not have any pre-existing conditions. Lipotropic injections are more effective when used for getting rid of localized stored fat deposits rather than to lose a significant amount of weight throughout the entire body. As long as the patient is considered in good health, there aren’t any age limitations so long as the medical professional providing the injections deems the treatment to be safe and low-risk. Lastly, a good candidate will also be informative and have realistic expectations regarding the possible results that can be attained through lipotropic injections and who are prepared to follow proper instructions while going through the treatment.

A typical lipotropic injection treatment will last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks as it is considered one of the more fast-acting treatments. You will most likely notice the most significant improvements a couple of weeks into the treatment and within the first month. It is common to experience heightened energy levels almost immediately after starting the treatment even though the visible improvements will not yet be noticeable. The results will be more quickly achieved and more dramatic if the injections are used alongside a caloric deficit diet and a healthy physical exercise regimen.
