Trying MIC + L-Carnitine + B12 shots: first two weeks notes

Posted by weekendnate in Weight Loss & Metabolic - 10 points, 3 comments.

I started the MIC + L‑carnitine + B12 blend two weeks ago, injecting 1 mL every Monday and Thursday. I’m tracking my morning weight, fasting glucose and HRV on a cheap wrist band just to see if anything shifts. Appetite wise I’ve noticed a slight dip in afternoon snacking, not a crushing hunger kill but enough that I’m skipping the usual pretzel bag at work.

Energy feels a bit steadier during my afternoon PT sessions, less of that mid‑day crash I used to get after lunch. No major side effects – a little soreness at the injection site that fades in an hour, no fishy odor or GI upset so far. 2 lbs which could just be water fluctuation.

I plan to keep this schedule for another four weeks and then check fasting lipids and B12 levels. Curious if anyone else has seen a similar pattern with this combo.

• tiredmira: I’ve tried a similar L‑carnitine + B12 shot routine a few months back, just without the MIC part. Basically I noticed a mild drop in afternoon cravings too, not a huge appetite suppressant but enough to skip my usual granola bar. My HRV seemed a tad more stable on the days I injected, though the change was small enough that it could be noise from sleep or stress. The steady energy you described matches what I felt during my PT sessions – less of that post‑lunch dip. I’d keep an eye on your fast
• weekendnate: It’s useful to hear the craving dip and HRV steadiness matched what I’m seeing. I’ll keep logging fasting glucose and see if any trend emerges before weight shifts. Have you ever tried adding MIC to the mix later?
• weekendnate: I’m seeing a similar dip in snacking and steadier PT energy. I’ll keep logging glucose; curious if you noticed any change in fasting levels after a few weeks?
