Lipo-C 216 is a compounded lipotropic injectable formulation containing L-Carnitine 20 mg, L-Arginine 20 mg, Methionine 25 mg, Inositol 50 mg, Choline 50 mg, B6 (Pyridoxine) 25 mg, B5 (Dexpanthenol) 25 mg, and B12 (Methylcobalamin) 1 mg per ml. It is a comprehensive B-vitamin and lipotropic combination targeting hepatic lipid metabolism, one-carbon methylation, mitochondrial fatty acid transport, and nitric oxide pathway research.
The formulation's breadth covers multiple metabolic intersections: L-Carnitine provides the mitochondrial fatty acid transport shuttle; Methionine is the primary methyl donor via SAM cycle; Inositol serves as phospholipid precursor and insulin signaling modulator; Choline supports phosphatidylcholine synthesis for VLDL-mediated hepatic fat export; L-Arginine is the primary substrate for nitric oxide synthase (eNOS, nNOS, iNOS) and a urea cycle intermediate; B6, B5, and B12 serve as essential cofactors for transamination reactions, CoA biosynthesis, and homocysteine remethylation respectively.
PeptidesFromChina.co supplies Lipo-C 216 as a sterile liquid formulation with component concentrations verified by the manufacturer per batch. For laboratory research use only.

Testing method: HPLC / LC-MS. Products are supplied against the specification shown on the applicable product page. The standard catalog purity specification is ≥98% unless otherwise stated. Product-specific specifications and quality-control information may vary by compound and batch.
Every batch is tested by the manufacturer for purity and concentration as part of routine quality control, using methods such as HPLC and LC-MS. These results are kept in the manufacturer's internal quality-control records and are not issued as a separate certificate or document.
Methionine → SAM → homocysteine → remethylation by B12/folate: the one-carbon methylation cycle is the central research target of the MIC components. Lipo-C 216 provides Methionine (the methyl donor substrate), B12 (Methylcobalamin, the active form for homocysteine remethylation), and B6 (Pyridoxine, cofactor for transamination and cystathionine synthesis). Research examines SAM availability, homocysteine levels, and downstream methylation endpoints (DNA methylation, histone marks) under methyl donor supplementation conditions.
L-Arginine is the direct substrate for all three nitric oxide synthase isoforms (eNOS, nNOS, iNOS) — its availability limits NO production in L-arginine-restricted cell models. Lipo-C 216 provides L-Arginine alongside the lipotropic components, making it suitable for research examining the intersection of NO signaling and hepatic/metabolic biology. eNOS activation in vascular endothelial cells, iNOS induction in macrophage models, and urea cycle flux (arginase pathway versus NOS pathway competition) are standard endpoints.
Lipo-C 216 is a more comprehensive formulation: it adds L-Arginine (NO pathway), Inositol (phospholipid precursor, insulin signaling), B6 (transamination cofactor), and B12 Methylcobalamin (homocysteine remethylation) to the base Carnitine + Methionine + Choline + B5 combination in Lipo-C 120. Lipo-C 216 is chosen when broader one-carbon cycle and NO pathway coverage is needed; Lipo-C 120 when the focused four-component lipotropic formulation is sufficient.
Lipo-C 216 should be stored at 2-8°C, protected from light. Do not freeze. Use within the date specified on the label.
