Supplements & Injections in Fort Collins

Provider-Selected Supplements & Targeted Injections

We use a small, deliberate set of supplements and nutrient injections — chosen because they consistently help patients, not because they fill a catalog. Each one is integrated with your broader treatment plan rather than sold as a standalone fix.

Why Provider-Selected Matters

The supplement industry is enormous, the quality varies wildly, and most products are sold by people who never look at your labs. We take a different approach: a small, deliberate menu of items we've seen consistently help patients — chosen for quality, for clinical relevance, and for how they fit into broader care.

Whether you're on a weight loss program, hormone therapy, or just want to address fatigue or gut health, our supplements and injections are layered on top of an actual plan — not sold as a standalone fix.

Nutrient Injections

Methylated B12 (Methylcobalamin)

The active form of vitamin B12 — ready for your cells to use without conversion. We use the methylated form specifically because roughly 30–40% of adults have MTHFR gene variants that impair conversion of standard (cyanocobalamin) B12 into the active form. For those patients, methylated B12 produces noticeably better energy, cognition, and mood than regular B12. For everyone else, methylated B12 still works at least as well, with no downside.

Common reasons to use B12 injections: persistent fatigue, brain fog, mood symptoms, B12 deficiency, MTHFR variants, post-bariatric surgery, age over 50 (B12 absorption declines), or supporting an active weight loss program.

For a deeper dive — including MIC/MICC variants, frequency, and side effects — see our complete B12 injections guide.

Lipo-Mino-Mix-C

A lipotropic injection combining methionine, inositol, choline, B12, and vitamin C. Methionine, inositol, and choline support how your liver processes and transports fat. Vitamin C provides antioxidant support. Patients commonly use Lipo-Mino-Mix-C as an add-on to compounded GLP-1 weight loss programs — supporting the metabolic side of fat loss while the GLP-1 handles appetite.

Common dosing pattern: weekly injections during active weight loss, tapering to every 1–2 weeks for maintenance, based on response.

Vitamin D3 IM Injection

A high-dose intramuscular vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) injection used specifically for confirmed severe vitamin D deficiency. It raises blood levels faster and more reliably than oral repletion alone in some cases — especially for patients with malabsorption, recent bariatric surgery, or chronically low D despite high-dose oral supplementation.

We confirm deficiency with a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test first, then move to maintenance via oral ADK after restoration.

Oral Supplements

DIM (Diindolylmethane)

A compound derived from cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) that supports healthy estrogen metabolism. DIM helps the body shift estrogen toward more favorable metabolites, which can be helpful for patients dealing with estrogen-dominant symptoms — heavy cycles, breast tenderness, mood symptoms tied to hormonal shifts, or weight that holds around the hips and thighs.

Commonly used alongside women's hormone therapy and during perimenopause; some men also benefit from DIM as part of a broader hormone optimization plan.

ADK (Vitamins A, D3, K2)

A combination supplement we recommend for ongoing vitamin D sustainment after deficiency is corrected. D3 supports calcium absorption; K2 directs that calcium to bones and teeth rather than into arteries (a real concern with isolated high-dose D supplementation); A supports vision, immunity, and skin health.

ADK pairs naturally with our D3 injection therapy: D3 IM corrects severe deficiency quickly; ADK keeps levels healthy long-term.

Provider-Selected Probiotics

Quality matters enormously with probiotics — most retail products are underpowered or have lost potency on the shelf. We carry a high-quality, clinically dosed probiotic that supports gut microbiome health, digestion, and the gut-brain axis (the increasingly well-studied connection between gut health and mood, cognition, and immunity).

Common reasons patients use it: bloating, irregular digestion, post-antibiotic recovery, recurring yeast issues, mood support alongside gut healing, or general microbiome maintenance.

A Note on Methylated B12 and MTHFR

Patients sometimes ask why we specifically use methylated B12 rather than the cheaper standard form. The short answer: MTHFR gene variants are common — roughly 30–40% of the population has at least one — and these variants reduce how well the body activates standard B12 into the form cells can actually use. For affected patients, standard B12 supplementation often produces minimal benefit despite injection or megadose oral intake. Methylated B12 bypasses that activation step entirely.

You don't need to know your MTHFR status to benefit. Methylated B12 works at least as well as standard B12 for non-carriers, with no downside — so it's our default. Patients with known MTHFR variants, or those who've felt little benefit from standard B12 in the past, are particularly good candidates for methylated B12 injections.

Who Should Consider These?

Most of our patients use one or more of these alongside another service — weight loss, hormone therapy, peptide therapy. Common combinations:

  • Weight loss + Lipo-Mino-Mix-C + methylated B12 — metabolic and energy support during active fat loss
  • Hormone therapy + DIM — especially for women with estrogen-dominant symptoms
  • Thyroid optimization + D3 injection or ADK — addressing the vitamin D piece of thyroid hormone utilization
  • Energy / fatigue evaluation + methylated B12 — for patients with low energy and possible MTHFR involvement
  • Gut symptoms + probiotics — alongside any treatment plan affecting digestion or microbiome

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between methylated B12 and regular B12?

Methylated B12 (methylcobalamin) is the active form your cells can use directly. Regular B12 (cyanocobalamin) has to be converted by your body first — a step that's significantly impaired in people with MTHFR gene variants, which affect roughly 30–40% of the population. Methylated B12 bypasses that conversion entirely, which is why patients with MTHFR variants — and many others — often feel noticeably better on the methylated form. Our B12 injections use the methylated form.

Do I need labs before starting supplements or injections?

It depends on the item. B12 injections are generally safe to trial without labs, given B12's strong safety profile. Vitamin D injections, on the other hand, are reserved for confirmed severe deficiency — we run a 25-OH vitamin D test first. DIM, ADK, and probiotics typically don't require lab work to start. Your provider will recommend testing where it actually informs treatment, not by default.

Can I get just an injection without committing to a full treatment plan?

Yes. Many patients add B12 or Lipo-Mino-Mix-C injections as standalone services for energy or weight loss support. That said, injections work best when integrated with a broader plan that addresses sleep, nutrition, hormones, and underlying labs. Your provider will help you decide whether a single injection or a coordinated plan fits your situation.

How often should I get a Lipo-Mino-Mix-C injection?

Most patients on an active weight loss program receive weekly Lipo-Mino-Mix-C injections during the early phase, then taper to every 1–2 weeks for maintenance. Frequency depends on your goals, response, and whether you're combining it with other therapies like compounded GLP-1s.

Are these supplements and injections covered by insurance?

Most wellness supplements and nutrient injections are not covered by insurance. Pricing is discussed during your consultation. Some patients use HSA/FSA funds for clinically indicated injections; we can provide receipts for submission.
