Inject 1ml/1cc (100 units) twice a week by Intramuscular administration.
The MIC ingredients are on the label:
Ingredients per ml:
– Methionine 20mg: An amino acid that reduces fats and aids in lowering cholesterol.
– Inositol 10mg: A nutrient used to metabolize and transfer fats in the blood stream.
– Choline 20mg: A nutrient known to help reduce fat in the liver.
Inject 1ml/1cc (100 units) twice a week by Intramuscular administration.
Intramuscular (IM) injections are given directly into the central area of the deltoids (shoulder). A needle is inserted with a quick thrust at a 90-degree angle. The needle penetrates the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and the medicine is deposited in the underlying muscle. The deltoid muscle in the upper arm is the preferred injection site for IM administration. Please refer to the video below.
Lipotropics are substances that help break down and metabolize fats that may be stored in the body.
The Huntington College of Health Sciences published a report indicating the benefit of certain lipotropic agents as well as their beneficial effects on fat mobilization, cholesterol levels and overall heart health. The full report can be found here- http://www.hchs.edu/literature/Lecithin-Lipotropics.pdf
The Lipotropic products come in two forms, MIC and the Lipo product which contains MIC as well as vitamin B12 in the form of Cyanocobalamin. The addition of B12 in the Lipo product may aid in metabolism and energy when on a calorie restricted diet.
The diet plan recommended is the same plan by the US Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institution of Health.
It is a 1200-1300 Calorie diet for women and 1500-1600 calorie diet for men that can be followed safely and has several variations. It is designed to aid in weight loss as well as promote a body and heart.
The plan is less restrictive than other low calorie plans and pays special attention to whole grain carbs, fruits and vegetables and lean portions of meat and portion sizes.

While the exchange list allows some “white” carbs such as white bread, it is best to limit these as much as possible, whole grain products contain more fiber and typically provide better nutrition.
In addition this program not only allows physical activity but it actually encourages some light to moderate exercise such as a brisk walk at least three times per week.
