Methionine / inositol / choline + B-vitamin multi-component preparation
Overview
Lipo-C is a multi-component preparation pairing the methionine + inositol + choline (MIC) trio with one or more B-vitamins (commonly B-12). The components are characterized cofactors and metabolites of lipid and methylation metabolism — methionine a sulfur-donor amino acid, inositol a phosphatidyl-inositol precursor, choline a phosphatidylcholine precursor, and the B-vitamins supporting the associated cofactor pools — and the preparation is referenced here as a characterized multi-component standard, not for any metabolic-support or weight-management outcome. Because Lipo-C is a defined-composition mixture rather than a single chemical entity, identity is established at the component level: each component is confirmed by the appropriate method (HPLC and mass-spec identity for the small-molecule components; the exact B-vitamin form confirmed and stated), and the documented formulation is reported against the specification. The components carry individual CAS numbers rather than a single registered identifier; confirm each component's API and the B-vitamin form by COA / label before use. Both lyophilized and pre-prepared aqueous-solution fills are available. This is reference-grade research material, distinct from compounding-scale API supply.
Applications & buyer fit
Other research peptides in this category — Melanotan-1, Melanotan-2, PT-141, ACE-031, Adipotide-FTTP, EPO, HCG, HMG — ship to research labs studying topics outside the GH / cognitive / immune / mitochondrial / repair / longevity / Khavinson clusters. Each peptide has its own analytical-packet emphasis (e.g. glycoprotein bioassay in IU/mg for HCG; cyclised-form confirmation for oxytocin) noted in the per-product CoA scope.
Academic Laboratories
Universities, medical schools, and government research institutes qualifying a reference standard for a method-development or in vivo workflow.
Contract Research Organisations (CROs)
CROs running preclinical and translational studies on behalf of academic, biotech, or pharma sponsors who need traceable reference material across multi-site campaigns.
Every release ships with its own batch-specific CoA — identity, purity, and the analytical scope agreed at quote stage, tied to the exact lot you receive.
Review a representative batch CoA before you order, so you can confirm the packet matches what your method or sponsor audit needs.
Supplied strictly as a research reagent to research institutions — not a finished dosage form and not for human administration. Buyer qualification runs at the inquiry stage.
Specifications
Documentation available on request
Regulatory note
Defined-composition multi-component preparation; components carry individual CAS numbers. Confirm each component's identity and the exact B-vitamin form by batch COA / label before use. Lyochem supplies Lipo-C strictly for Research Use Only; buyers are responsible for verifying ingredient eligibility in their destination market.
Frequently asked questions
Identity is established component by component rather than as a single entity: each small-molecule component is confirmed by the appropriate HPLC and mass-spec identity check, the exact B-vitamin form is confirmed and stated, and the documented formulation is reported against the specification on the COA. Buyers should confirm each component and the B-vitamin form by COA or label before use.
B-12 occurs in several forms (cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, adenosylcobalamin) that are not interchangeable for all purposes, so the specific form in a given Lipo-C lot is stated on the COA rather than assumed. Lyochem can configure the form on the preparation; specify the required form at order placement.
It is a mixture of several distinct components, each with its own CAS Registry Number, rather than one chemical entity. There is no single registered identifier for the preparation; the operative identity document is the component-level COA, which a lab should use to confirm each component before any research use.
