What the Research Says
Methionine and choline have been studied for their roles in hepatic function and lipid metabolism, particularly in the context of fatty liver conditions.
Inositol is better studied in relation to insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, especially in individuals with PCOS.
There is insufficient clinical evidence from large, peer-reviewed trials to support the use of MIC ingredient combinations for weight loss.
How Eden Uses Inositol
Licensed healthcare providers on the Eden platform may include inositol in compounded MedKits as part of personalized care plans that support metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral functions.
Are MIC Injections Effective?
Although some clinics promote MIC injections for fat metabolism, limited clinical evidence supports their standalone use for fat loss.
MIC injections are not included in any offerings on the Eden platform. Instead, licensed healthcare providers may use ingredients with emerging evidence to support metabolic function, appetite behavior, and insulin pathway support.
If you've tried MIC products in the past, Eden’s licensed healthcare provider MedKits may provide a more evidence-aligned alternative.
Safety and Side Effects
- Methionine may influence homocysteine levels at high doses and cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
- Choline can cause a fishy body odor at high doses and may affect blood pressure in certain individuals.
- Inositol is generally well tolerated, though some people report mild dizziness or digestive upset.
All Eden formulations are titrated for daily use and reviewed for clinical appropriateness by licensed healthcare providers.
