Lipo BC^TM tablets are a more potent and effective combination of vitamins to boost metabolism and assist in weight loss.

Lipo BC^TM tablets are specially formulated to:

1. Increase metabolism to burn fat
2. Assist the body in fat removal and transport out of the body
3. Prevent abnormal accumulation of fat in the liver
4. Help detoxify the liver to improve function

Lipo BC^TM tablets contain many of the same ingredients as our Vitachrome shot but with some extras. (B9, Calcium, Vitamin D3, Biotin and PABA)

B9 (Folic Acid) = Good for brain function. Works with B12 to make red blood cells.
Calcium = For healthy teeth and bones.

D3 = Helps body absorb calcium

B7 (Biotin) = Necessary for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.

PABA = Natural, water-soluble compound that helps form folic acid. Helps prevent wrinkles, gray hair, hair loss and even protects lungs from ozone damage.

We recommend taking 1 tablet daily with food, but you can take up to three a day.

Lipo BC^TM tablets can be taken alone or in combination with Phentermine.

They complement the Phentermine but are not meant to replace it.

(Phentermine is a prescription strength medication; Lipo BC^TM tablets are just vitamin supplements).

There are no known side effects but the tablets contain fish oil powder so patients with fish allergies should not take them.
