Skinny shots, also known as lipotropic injections, are a mixture of amino acids, B vitamins, and lipotropic agents administered in the form of intramuscular injections to assist with weight loss in obese individuals. The shots are known to boost energy and speed up metabolism (chemical reactions in the body that convert the food we eat into energy), which in turn, accelerates calorie burning and the removal of unwanted fat from the body.
The injected amino acids activate the liver to improve the metabolism cycle. By delivering a highly effective temporary increase in normal metabolic functions, these injections improve the metabolic capacity of the body. The body then begins to slowly return to its normal metabolic rate as soon as the influence of these substances wears off.
Skinny shots are a special formula of liver assisting nutrients that can aid in fat metabolism, hormone balance, and energy—all main functions of the liver. They contain a variety of nutrients, vitamins, and other ingredients apparently utilized to help with weight loss. Some of the most common ingredients in these shots include:
Methionine – is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids. It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body.
Inositol – is a vitamin-like natural sugar related to the B vitamin family. Inositol helps metabolize fat and may improve insulin function in the body.
Choline – supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body. It is required for the metabolism and transport of fats and cholesterol within the body, which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular, and hepatic systems.
Lipotropic or fat-burning drugs include: inositol, which helps the liver absorb fat; choline, which distributes cholesterol and prevents it from depositing in one part of the body; and inositol-like methionine, which also amplifies the mixture. Injections can be given up to twice a week. Vitamin B-12 is supposed to help accelerate metabolic processes by clinicians and consumers while creating a greater sense of overall energy.
The treatment twice a week is meant to help anyone who wants to lose weight. It’s filled with our bodies' vitamins, minerals, and amino acids! It is highly effective for people who want to lose 30-50 pounds and for anyone who has hit a plateau in their attempts to lose weight.
