What is Lipo-C Fat Metabolism Complex 10ml?
Lipo-C Fat Metabolism Complex 10ml is a proprietary liquid research solution that combines lipotropic compounds with B-vitamins in a single 10 ml multi-dose vial, supplied for laboratory studies of fat metabolism. It is not a single peptide and has no single receptor; it belongs to the lipotropic class, which in the research literature typically means methyl-donor and phospholipid-precursor molecules of the methionine, inositol and choline type, co-formulated with B-vitamins that act as cofactors in one-carbon metabolism.
GenoPept does not publish the exact quantitative formula of Lipo-C, so this page describes the component classes rather than asserting a specific composition. UK researchers buy Lipo-C when they want a pre-mixed lipotropic solution rather than preparing each component separately.
Lipo-C Fat Metabolism Complex 10ml research applications
Hepatic lipid accumulation models
Lipotropic compounds are studied in hepatocyte cultures and rodent models of fatty liver, where research measures triglyceride export, lipoprotein assembly and phosphatidylcholine synthesis.
One-carbon and methylation metabolism
Methionine-class and choline-class lipotropics supply methyl groups, and B-vitamins act as cofactors in the folate and methionine cycles. Lipo-C is used to investigate how combined supply of these inputs alters S-adenosylmethionine levels and methylation markers in cells.
Adipocyte and energy metabolism
Research explores lipotropic mixtures in adipocyte cultures and metabolic-phenotyping studies, often alongside L-carnitine or growth hormone fragments such as AOD-9604.
Comparative formulation studies
Because Lipo-C combines several classes in one solution, it is used as a reference mixture when comparing single-component preparations such as Lipo-B or vitamin B12 alone.
Mechanism of action (preclinical)
In preclinical models, lipotropic compounds influence hepatic fat handling mainly through phospholipid synthesis: choline-type molecules are precursors of phosphatidylcholine, which is required to package triglyceride into very-low-density lipoproteins for export from the liver. Methionine-type compounds feed the S-adenosylmethionine pool that methylates phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine.
Inositol-class compounds are studied as precursors of phosphoinositide signalling lipids, and B-vitamins act as enzymatic cofactors in the same one-carbon pathways. The combined solution therefore targets a pathway rather than a receptor, and Lipo-C is investigated for how co-supply of these inputs shifts lipid partitioning in cultured cells and animal tissue.

Available sizes
- Lipo-C Fat Metabolism Complex 10 ml multi-dose research solution vial
Lipo-C is supplied in a single 10 ml vial size from UK stock. Boxes of 10 vials save 20 to 50% through the bulk and wholesale page.
Reconstitution, handling and storage (laboratory)
Lipo-C is supplied as a 10 ml multi-dose research solution and does not require reconstitution. Store unopened vials at 2 to 8 °C, protected from light, and do not freeze; freezing can cause components to precipitate. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before drawing so that volumes are accurate.
Swab the stopper before each draw and use a fresh sterile needle every time to protect the multi-dose seal. Record the first-puncture date on the label, return the vial to the refrigerator between uses, and discard it at the end of the period set by your protocol or if the solution changes colour, turns cloudy or shows particulates. B-vitamin solutions are light-sensitive, so keep the vial in its carton. General guidance is in the storage guide on the site.
Quality assurance and Certificate of Analysis
Every batch of Lipo-C Fat Metabolism Complex 10ml supplied by GenoPept is tested by an independent UK third-party laboratory (Puralytix, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited). Testing confirms the identity of the declared components by LC-MS and checks purity of the active compounds by HPLC. The batch Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available through the “View Certificate of Analysis” button on this page, and the full library is published at genopept.co.uk/coa-certificates.
Each vial is sealed, batch-identified with lot number and expiry date, and dispatched by tracked Royal Mail Special Delivery within the UK (free on orders of £200 or more). Read what a Certificate of Analysis shows to interpret the report.

Lipo-C Fat Metabolism Complex 10ml frequently asked questions
What is Lipo-C used for in research?
Lipo-C is used as a ready-made lipotropic research solution in laboratory models of hepatic lipid handling, fat metabolism and one-carbon metabolism. Researchers use it to study how lipotropic compounds and B-vitamins together influence lipid export from liver cells, phosphatidylcholine synthesis and methyl-group turnover in cell culture and animal models. It is supplied for in-vitro research only.
What does lipotropic mean in a research context?
A lipotropic compound is one that, in preclinical models, promotes the mobilisation or export of fat from the liver rather than its accumulation. The classic lipotropic agents are methyl-donor and phospholipid-precursor molecules of the methionine, choline and inositol type. In research the term describes this class of activity in hepatic lipid metabolism, not an effect in people.
How is Lipo-C supplied and how is quality verified?
Lipo-C is supplied by GenoPept as a 10 ml multi-dose liquid research solution in a sealed, batch-identified glass vial. The exact formula is proprietary, so the label describes the component classes rather than a full quantitative composition. Each batch is tested by an independent ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, and the Certificate of Analysis is available through the link on this page.
How should Lipo-C be stored in the laboratory?
Store Lipo-C at 2 to 8 °C, protected from light, and do not freeze. B-vitamins are light-sensitive, so keep the vial in its carton or an amber container between uses. After the first puncture, note the date on the label, swab the stopper before each draw and keep the vial refrigerated. Discard if the solution becomes cloudy or shows particulates.
Is Lipo-C for human use?
No. Lipo-C is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a medicine, supplement or cosmetic, is not for human or veterinary use, and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use. It is not a weight-loss product and no such use is implied. Purchasers must be researchers who accept the research use only terms.
