At a glance
What it is
MIC + amino acids + B vitamins — Metabolic Lipotropic Injection Blend — Lipotropic Injection Blend, Amino Acid Blend, Metabolic Support.
Why people use it
Used primarily for weight loss and mitochondrial health.
What the evidence supports
Meta-Z is used in the community primarily in the context of: body recomposition protocols (fat loss + lean mass preservation simultaneously); metabolic support during caloric restriction; energy and fatigue management during intense training periods; hepatic support when other injectable protocols are running. Typical community use: 0.5-2 mL subcutaneously or intramuscularly 1-3 times per week; most users inject 1-2 mL. Storage: room temperature (per Peptide Partners label); no refrigeration required. 10mL vials available; 50mL kit available.

The Nine Ingredients
B12 (Methylcobalamin) 1 mg/mL; Methionine 50 mg/mL; Inositol 100 mg/mL; Choline Bitartrate 400 mg/mL; Taurine 50 mg/mL; Leucine 20 mg/mL; L-Carnitine 500 mg/mL; L-Arginine 200 mg/mL; Alpha-Lipoic Acid 25 mg/mL. Three broad functional groups: (1) MIC lipotropic core (Methionine + Inositol + Choline); (2) Amino acid metabolic support (Taurine + Leucine + L-Carnitine + L-Arginine); (3) Cofactors (B12 + Alpha-Lipoic Acid).
The MIC Shot Tradition
MIC injections (Methionine + Inositol + Choline) have been used in weight loss clinics and medical practices for decades as lipotropic injections — compounds that support fat metabolism, liver function, and energy production. Meta-Z extends the basic MIC formula with amino acids (L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, Leucine, Taurine) and metabolic cofactors (Alpha-Lipoic Acid, B12) to create a more comprehensive metabolic support blend.
Evidence Framework
No clinical trial for this specific combination exists. The individual components have substantial independent evidence: Methylcobalamin B12 deficiency treatment (Grade A), L-Carnitine for fat oxidation and energy (Grade B multiple RCTs), L-Arginine for NO production and cardiovascular (Grade B), Alpha-Lipoic Acid antioxidant and metabolic (Grade B), Choline for liver and neurotransmission (Grade B), Taurine cardiovascular and exercise performance (Grade B). The combination as formulated: Grade E (vendor; no combination trial).

L-Carnitine
B
Same class · Metabolic Support

Amino-acid-derived quaternary ammonium compound involved in mitochondrial fatty-acid transport. Commercial claims are often overstated, but specific forms have clinical evidence for neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, muscle recovery, male infertility, and post-MI cardiac outcomes.

Lipo-B (MIC B-12)
C
Same class · Lipotropic Injection Blend

Compounded MIC/B-12 lipotropic formulation that varies by pharmacy and is widely sold through weight-loss clinics. Evidence is strongest at the component level, especially inositol in PCOS/insulin resistance and injectable B12 for deficiency; weight-loss claims for the full blend remain weak.

Lipo-C (Lipotropic)
C
Same class · Lipotropic Injection Blend

⚠ NAMING COLLISION: 'Lipo-C' is used for TWO completely different products — this chapter covers the compounded MIC+L-Carnitine+B-vitamins lipotropic injection. Liposomal Vitamin C (a separate oral supplement also called 'Lipo-C') is covered in a separate chapter. Read Section 1 before proceeding. Lipo-B Extended: Adds L-Carnitine, Thiamine (B1), and Dexpanthenol (B5) to the Lipo-B MIC+B12 base. Zero RCTs for the combination. L-Carnitine Injectable Dose is 100-200x Below Oral Therapeutic Doses. Mechanistically Coherent. Clinically Unproven.
