Lipotropic agents are a class of substances that play an important role in the body's use of fat.  Many
substances have Lipotropic properties of which choline, inositol and methionine are among the most
noteworthy.  Through their involvement in lipid (fat) metabolism, Lipotropics help maintain a healthy liver.
The liver plays a major role in human metabolism and has a number of functions, including glycogen
storage, plasma protein synthesis and detoxification. The liver also produces bile, a compound which
aids in digestion, via the breakdown of lipids (fats).
Lipotropic injections include a combination of important amino acids and vitamins.  

Vitamin B12:  Vitamin B12 is important for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and
for the formation of blood. It is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting
DNA synthesis and regulation but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Many medications,
medical conditions as well as normal aging can lead to a B12 deficiency.

Choline & Inositol are co-enzymes that are required for the proper metabolism of fats, and have the
ability to remove fat from the liver.  Choline's function in fat metabolism is tied to its role in bile
production.  Without choline, fats can become trapped in the liver, where they can block normal metabolic
functions.  Choline and inositol are necessary for normal nerve and brain function.

Choline is a fat emulsifier which aids in emulsifying cholesterol so that it doesn't settle on arterial walls.  
Choline works well with inositol to utilize fats and cholesterol. The body can produce choline, with the
help of vitamin B12, folic acid and methionine.  Natural choline production however, may not always be
adequate to meet daily needs.  Studies show that diets deficient in choline lead to undesirable changes
to liver, kidney and brain functions.

Inositol metabolizes fats and cholesterol and aids in transporting fat in the blood system.  
Thus, inositol is an aid in the redistribution of body fat and can help to lower cholesterol levels.  It is a
member of the B-Complex group and is a Lipotropic agent.  A lack of inositol has been shown to produce
an accumulation of triglycerides in the liver.

Methionine has Lipotropic properties similar to those of choline.  Two other important amino acids,
cysteine and taurine, depend on adequate levels of methionine for their biosynthesis in the body.  
Methionine is one of the nutrients required during the body's manufacture of choline and a deficiency of
this amino acid will adversely affect fat metabolism.
