Methione is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids and is important for many bodily functions
These properties make it a compound of significant interest in metabolic research and the study of adipogenesis pathways
There is no robust body of randomized controlled trial data demonstrating that lipotropic injections cause clinically significant fat loss beyond what the accompanying calorie restriction, activity changes, and clinical monitoring would have produced anyway
Injections are particularly appropriate for those with: Pernicious anaemia, an autoimmune condition affecting B12 absorption Conditions affecting the stomach or small intestine, such as Crohns disease or coeliac disease Those who have had gastric surgery or bariatric procedures Strict vegans and vegetarians not meeting their B12 needs through food or oral supplements For those who can absorb B12 normally, oral supplements are generally an effective and well-evidenced alternative to injections
However, as your body naturally filters and excretes the vitamin, those stores gradually deplete
Vitamin B12 is absorbed by the body during the digestive process and requires a protein that is made by the stomach called the intrinsic factor
