Phentermine
Phentermine helps to suppress appetite and promote weight loss in conjunction with exercise.
Lipotropic Shots
Lipotropic agents are a class of substances (of which choline, inositol, and methionine... are among the most effective) that play an important role in the body’s control of fat. 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 important functions, including glycogen storage, plasma protein synthesis and detoxification. The liver also produces bile, a compound which aids in digestion and 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 nervous system and for the formation of blood. It is involved in the metabolism of most cells of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis & regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Many medical conditions /illness/ substance dependencies as well as normal aging can lead to a B12 deficiency.
