Description
What Is MIC + B12? (In Plain English)
MIC + B12 is not one molecule — it is four small everyday nutrients mixed into one liquid, like a smoothie made from four separate ingredients. The letters stand for methionine, inositol and choline, and B12 is the vitamin added with them. Scientists are curious about how these four building blocks behave in fat and liver cell studies when they are combined instead of tested one at a time.
MIC + B12 10ml — Research Overview
MIC + B12 is a compounded aqueous blend of methionine (a sulfur-containing essential amino acid), inositol (a carbocyclic sugar alcohol involved in phosphoinositide signalling), choline (a quaternary ammonium precursor of phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12, a cofactor in methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase reactions). Each component has an extensive independent biochemical literature, but published data on this specific four-component combination is limited and largely observational. Researchers therefore treat the blend as a composite formulation rather than a characterised single entity with its own defined mechanism.
Component Breakdown
- Methionine — studied as a methyl donor precursor in one-carbon and transsulfuration metabolism
- Inositol — investigated in phosphoinositide second-messenger and insulin-signalling models
- Choline — examined in hepatic lipid handling and phospholipid synthesis studies in animal models
- Cyanocobalamin (B12) — referenced in the literature as a cofactor in methylation and mitochondrial substrate metabolism
Primary Research Areas
- Lipid metabolism models — in vitro and rodent studies of hepatic lipid handling
- One-carbon metabolism — methyl-donor availability and methylation flux
- Formulation chemistry — solubility, pH and stability of multi-component aqueous blends

Related Research Peptides
Laboratories comparing lipotropic blends generally stock Lipo-C 10ml and Lipo-B, which share overlapping components with MIC + B12, alongside Lemon Bottle. Single-component comparators such as L-Carnitine 1200mg and Glutathione 1500mg are used to isolate individual contributions.
Why Researchers Source MIC + B12 from Dissolv Labs
Dissolv Labs is a research-supply company based in Southern California. Orders are picked, packed, and shipped domestically from our SoCal facility, so most U.S. laboratories see short transit times and no international customs delay.
Solution products ship ready to work with. MIC + B12 is supplied as a pre-prepared 10ml aqueous blend in a sealed, labeled vial with lot identification, so no separate diluent or reconstitution step is required — unlike our lyophilized peptide kits, which each ship with a matched bacteriostatic water vial. Analytical documentation is available on request.
MIC + B12 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is MIC + B12 used for?
MIC + B12 is supplied strictly as a research chemical for in vitro and laboratory research applications. The literature studies its individual components in lipid-metabolism, methyl-donor and cofactor biochemistry; data on the combined blend itself remains limited. It is not for human or veterinary use.
What is the difference between MIC + B12 and Lipo-C?
Both are lipotropic-style aqueous blends built around methionine, inositol and choline. MIC + B12 pairs that base with cyanocobalamin, while Lipo-C formulations typically add L-carnitine and ascorbic acid instead. Comparative work usually runs the two blends side by side to separate B12-associated from carnitine-associated variables.
Does MIC + B12 need reconstitution?
No. It arrives as a ready-prepared sterile solution in a sealed 10ml vial rather than a lyophilized powder. Vials are kept cold and protected from light, and no bacteriostatic water is required — though BAC Water 10ml remains available for laboratories preparing lyophilized compounds in parallel.
Where can I buy MIC + B12 research blend?
MIC + B12 10ml is for sale from Dissolv Labs and ships domestically from Southern California with lot identification on every vial. Domestic fulfilment means no customs delay for U.S. laboratories. Sales are restricted to qualified researchers for Research Use Only applications.
Research Use Only
MIC + B12 is sold exclusively as a Research Use Only (RUO) chemical. It is not a drug, supplement, cosmetic, or food, and it is not intended for human or veterinary use, ingestion, injection, topical application, or any form of consumption. It is intended solely for licensed laboratory research by qualified professionals. Dissolv Labs makes no medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic claims of any kind. By purchasing, the buyer confirms they are a qualified researcher and accepts full responsibility for lawful handling, use, and disposal.
Bacteriostatic (BAC) water is included free with every order.

Exact quantity and concentration are listed in the product title and variant options above. The figures above are release specifications — the measured result for your particular lot is stated on its Certificate of Analysis.
Documentation & Testing
Every batch is tested before release. Testing covers four checks: identity by mass spectrometry, purity by HPLC against a ≥99% release threshold, content verification against the labelled mass, and batch release tied to a specific lot number.
To request the Certificate of Analysis for your vial, email us with your order number or the lot number printed on the label. We do not gate documentation behind a form or a purchase.

Handling & Storage
Lyophilized peptides are relatively stable during transit. Arriving at room temperature is not cause for concern — the cold pack is a margin of safety rather than a pass/fail condition.
Sealed vials of lyophilized material are typically stored refrigerated or frozen and protected from light. Handling protocols for a specific compound are determined by the researcher and their institution; we supply the material and its documentation.
Shipping & Returns
Orders placed before the daily cut-off are dispatched the same business day from Southern California in insulated packaging with ice packs. Tracking is issued at dispatch.
If a shipment arrives damaged, if vial contents appear inconsistent with the specification, or if the lot number on your vial does not match the certificate we provide, contact us and we will resolve it.
Because these are temperature-sensitive laboratory materials, opened vials cannot be returned to stock.
