Lipo-C: literature-reported ranges

Lipo-C is a compounded blend rather than a defined molecule, so there is no single literature for it. What exists is evidence for the individual nutrients, plus a notable absence of controlled trials of the blend itself.

Read this first

Every figure on this page is a range reported in published literature or in a publicly documented study protocol. It is a record of what researchers used, not a recommendation, a therapeutic protocol, or advice. Peptide Intel Hub is an independent publication, sells nothing, and describes these compounds as in-vitro research reagents only.

What the published studies reported

Each row below describes one body of work. The model and population are part of the figure — a rodent per-kilogram quantity and a human trial quantity are not comparable.

Typical compounded formulation content

Reported quantity
Methionine 25 mg/mL, inositol 50 mg/mL, choline 50 mg/mL as a common reported ratio
Frequency
Weekly administration in the compounding literature
Study duration
Not standardised

Concentrations vary widely between compounders; there is no reference formulation.

Evidence for the blend as a whole

Reported quantity
No controlled trial has been published
Frequency
Study duration

Reviews of lipotropic injections consistently note the absence of controlled efficacy data.

Mixed with 3 ml of bacteriostatic water

The same arithmetic for every vial size Lipo-C is supplied in, using a fixed 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. One unit on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.01 ml, so the unit column below is simply the volume that carries the reported amount. Educational arithmetic only — not instructions, and not medical advice.

No single reported amount applies to this compound, so only the concentration and the value of one unit are shown. Only the vial sizes this compound is actually supplied in are shown, and every figure assumes exactly 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. For any other volume, use the reconstitution calculator.

Supplied as a ready-made multi-component solution. The only meaningful document is a per-component concentration breakdown.

How to read these figures

  • Multi-component blends need a per-component certificate; a single 'mg/mL' figure is meaningless here.
  • Preservative content (usually benzyl alcohol) matters as much as the active components for a multi-dose vial.
  • The nutrient evidence base is not evidence for the blend.

Sources and citations

No peer-reviewed primary literature reporting administered quantities exists for this item. Anything circulating online about quantities is anecdote rather than evidence, and this page will not reproduce it. The database links below are kept so you can check for yourself as new work is published.

Independent publication — we sell nothing. Supplier disclosure

Peptide Intel Hub is an independent educational publication. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or the same company as Regena Peptides and Regena.app (regena-peptides.com / regena.app). We do not sell, supply, ship or take payment for any compound. Because readers regularly ask where compounds discussed in published studies can be sourced for laboratory work, we list Regena Peptides and Regena.app as suppliers we have verified and trust — every batch is released with a lot-matched third-party certificate of analysis (HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity).
