What are Lipotropics?
Lipotropics are compounds that play a role in how the body processes and metabolizes fats. Nutrients like choline, methionine, inositol and vitamin B12 may contribute to key processes, such as methylation and one-carbon metabolism, that may influence how the body regulates metabolic activity, cellular energy production and fat transport.
Some lipotropic agents help shuttle fat from the liver and support healthy lipid metabolism, which may reduce the risk of fat buildup in the liver. Research also suggests that a deficiency in lipotropes can lead to liver fat accumulation and other metabolic disturbances, highlighting their potential role in supporting liver function and metabolic balance.
