Lipo-C (Cyanocobalamin/MIC/L-Carnitine)

Common questions about Lipo-C (Cyanocobalamin/MIC/L-Carnitine)

What is Lipo-C and how is it different from Lipo-B?

Lipo-C extends the Lipo-B (MIC + B-12) formulation by adding L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative that shuttles long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. The L-carnitine addition theoretically supports the same lipotropic mechanism plus a downstream step in fat oxidation. Patients on a Lipo-C protocol receive the same MIC + B-12 base plus the carnitine layer.

Does the L-carnitine in Lipo-C add a meaningful fat-loss effect?

L-carnitine supplementation has mixed clinical trial data on fat-loss endpoints in non-deficient adults. Most evidence shows benefit only in patients with low baseline carnitine or in specific exercise-protocol contexts. The Lipo-C formulation is most often chosen by patients who want the most complete lipotropic adjunct or who are training hard during a GLP-1 protocol; standard Lipo-B is the entry-level option.

How is Lipo-C dosed?

Standard protocols deliver one 1 mL subcutaneous or intramuscular injection once per week, the same schedule as Lipo-B. A licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy compounds Lipo-C for Rx Peps Direct prescriptions in a 10 mL multi-dose vial with a 60-day beyond-use date. The 10 mL vial holds ten 1 mL doses, roughly ten weeks at weekly dosing, which is longer than its 60-day date, so on a weekly schedule the date, not the dose count, decides when the vial is done: discard anything left after the date. Your provider sets the schedule based on your goals, and the beyond-use date printed on your own label is the authority for the vial you receive.

How do I inject Lipo-C?

Subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, upper outer thigh, or back of the upper arm using a 31-gauge, 5/16-inch needle on a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL standard injection volume). Sterile syringes are included with every Rx Peps Direct shipment. Rotate sites between injections.

How is Lipo-C supplied?

Compounded by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy under a patient-specific prescription. Ships pre-reconstituted and ready to inject in a 10 mL multi-dose vial with a 60-day beyond-use date. Every batch is tested by Eagle Analytical Services; the Certificate of Analysis is published on this product page. Refrigerate after first puncture and follow the beyond-use date printed on your label.
