LC526 (Lipo-MIC)
Also known as LC526, Lipo-MIC, Fat Blaster, Lipo-C, Lipotropic MIC blend
Lipotropic injection blend of L-Carnitine, MIC (Methionine, Inositol, Choline), and B12 for fat-metabolism research.
How it's taken (route)
a deeper shot into a muscle, usually the glute, thigh, or shoulder

- Documented dose
- 300–600 mg
- Typical frequency
- 1-3 times weekly (typically 1-2 mL per injection)
- Cycle
- 12 weeks on
- Half-life
- Varies by component; L-Carnitine has a plasma half-life of several hours, while the metabolic effects of MIC cofactors persist longer
- Common vial sizes
- 3000 mg
- Regulatory status
- Research use only
Dose on a U-100 syringe (300–600 mg)
| Vial | BAC water | Draw |
|---|---|---|
| 3000 mg | 2 mL | 20–40 units |
| 3000 mg | 2.5 mL | 25–50 units |
On a U-100 syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, and the syringe holds 100 units total. Most people keep a single subcutaneous injection under about 50 units — bigger volumes are usually mixed stronger (less water) or split into two shots. Only mixes that fit in one syringe are shown. Always double-check with the reconstitution calculator.
What it does
LC526 is a multi-component lipotropic research blend - L-Carnitine as the dominant active (~300 mg/mL) plus the MIC complex (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) and Vitamin B12. It is studied for fat metabolism, lipid transport, liver support, and mitochondrial energy production, and is often grouped with "Lipo-C" style lipotropic injections.
Mechanism
L-Carnitine shuttles long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation (fat burning). The MIC cofactors support hepatic lipid processing and export: Methionine is a methyl donor that aids fat emulsification, Inositol supports lipid transport and insulin signaling, and Choline prevents fat accumulation in the liver. B12 supports cellular energy metabolism.
Storage — lyophilisedwhat's this?
Usually supplied as a ready-to-use sterile solution in multi-dose 10 mL vials rather than lyophilized powder. Store refrigerated at 2-8C.
Storage — reconstitutedwhat's this?
Keep refrigerated at 2-8C and use within the manufacturer-stated window after first puncture (commonly 30 days). Protect from light.
Reconstitution noteswhat's this?
No reconstitution needed - LC526 ships as a liquid solution in 10 mL multi-dose vials. Doses are measured in mL (1-2 mL) rather than units; warm the vial to room temperature before drawing for a more comfortable IM injection.
Commonly stacked with
- AOD-9604
- GLP-1 agonists
- Cagrilintide
Commonly reported side effects
- Injection site soreness or redness
- Mild nausea
- Restlessness or insomnia if injected late in the day (B12)
- Fishy body odor at high carnitine doses
Contraindications noted
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Known hypersensitivity to any component
- Severe kidney disease (high-dose carnitine)
Research notes
LC526 is the vendor designation for the classic lipotropic "MIC + Carnitine + B12" injection formula sold as Lipo-C or Lipo-MIC. Evidence is strongest for the individual components; the blend itself has mostly anecdotal and clinic-reported use in weight-management settings.
