How to spark detox with acupuncture injection therapy
At Starting Point, we get many questions about how to spark detox and weight loss, naturally. Since each person’s goal and needs are different. Dr. Heintze sets a clear individualized plan for each person. We use a combined approach to help detox and weight loss using injection therapy.
Studies have found that using MIC “Methionine, Iniositol, and Choline” amino acids and vitamin B12 can help to support the body in detox and weight loss and when using acupuncture point injections (injecting into specific acupuncture points, AIT) has a combined synergetic benefits.
What are Lipotrophic MIC injections?
Lipotropic injections are made up of substances such as methionine, inositol and choline that work to do the following:
- Reduce stored body fat
- Increase energy
- Maintain a healthier liver
- Speed up the metabolism
Additionally, B12 is added for energy, mood enhancement and stable blood sugar levels. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps the body efficiently metabolize fats and carbohydrates. Since most B12 deficiencies come from a problem absorbing the nutrient, B12 injections have a higher efficiency rating than oral and diet supplements because they allow the nutrient to bypass your gastrointestinal tract and go straight to the cells that need it. Read more here about benefits of B12.
How does AIT with MIC helps to spark detox and weight loss?
Most studies show that B12/MIC Lipotropic “Fatburner” injections work best for those who are already actively working on losing weight. For many, the weight loss strategies they are currently using just aren’t getting them where they want to be. Having the extra boost of these injections can make a huge difference, especially when on the right nutrition plan and using acupuncture injection therapy (AIT).
There are several different options available for these injections and for setting up the right nutrition plan. The best next step to see if MIC/Lipotrophic injections are right for you is to set-up an initial consultation. During the consult, Dr. Heintze will go over your health history and goals and establish a clear treatment plan specifically for your individual needs.

Dr. Heintze customizes each patient’s treatment plan to fit their specific goals. Plans may include vitamin injections, acupuncture, and specific nutrition plans.
