Lipo-C Injections: What Do They Actually Do?
Summary
Host John Garrett examines Lipo-C, clarifying it is a variable compounded blend of nutrients like carnitine and choline, not a standardized peptide or FDA-approved weight loss drug. He separates biological mechanisms from marketing claims, noting that while ingredients support fat metabolism, robust clinical trials do not prove the injection causes meaningful fat loss. The episode advises listeners to scrutinize formulas, understand regulatory risks, and consult healthcare professionals before use.
