MIC B12 injections, on their own review
MIC B12 is a compounded injectable combining methionine, inositol and choline with vitamin B12. It is $110 a month for a one-month plan, with optional 3- and 6-month packages. An injection is still a prescription, so a licensed provider reviews your history and current medications before anything is prescribed — and decides the dose, the schedule and whether it is appropriate at all.
- Methionine, inositol, choline + B12
- Its own intake, separate from NAD+
- Dose and schedule set by your provider
- Discreet shipping if prescribed

What's in it
Four ingredients, one vial.
“MIC” is an abbreviation for the three lipotropic compounds in the blend — methionine, inositol and choline. The fourth ingredient is vitamin B12. No milligram amounts are published on this page: your prescriber sets the strength and it is printed on the pharmacy label that ships with the vial.
If the exact formulation matters to you, ask during intake or read the label before your first injection. Do not change a dose or schedule on your own.
Methionine
An essential amino acid. One of the three compounds in the "MIC" part of the name.
Inositol
A naturally occurring sugar alcohol, grouped with the lipotropic ingredients in this blend.
Choline
A nutrient the body uses in cell membranes and normal metabolism.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
The vitamin in the name. B12 is used medically in people with a diagnosed deficiency — your provider makes that call.
What MIC B12 is not
Lipotropic injections are advertised heavily online, and most of that marketing is not something we can stand behind. Here is where we land, plainly.
Not a weight-loss treatment
Surfbound does not present MIC B12 as a way to lose weight, and it is not a GLP-1 medication or a substitute for one.
Not a detox
Lipotropic injections are often marketed with "fat burning" and "liver detox" language. This page makes no such claim, and the evidence for it is thin.
Not a supplement
It is a compounded prescription, dispensed by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient — not an over-the-counter vitamin shot.
Not FDA-approved
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products, and the FDA does not review this formulation before it is dispensed.

B12 or MIC B12
MIC B12 vs a plain B12 injection.
A plain B12 injection contains one ingredient. MIC B12 contains four. That is the whole difference on paper — the more useful question is whether the extra three change anything that matters for you, and the honest answer is: mostly not, and your provider gets the final say either way.
What is in the vial
Plain B12
Vitamin B12 on its own — usually cyanocobalamin, sometimes methylcobalamin, depending on the pharmacy.
MIC B12
Vitamin B12 plus three lipotropic compounds: methionine, inositol and choline.
How it is given
Plain B12
By injection, on a schedule your provider sets. Some people are taught to self-inject at home.
MIC B12
By subcutaneous injection, on a schedule your provider sets. Same route, four ingredients instead of one.
What it is used for
Plain B12
Replacing vitamin B12 when a provider documents a deficiency, or a reason you cannot absorb enough from food.
MIC B12
The B12 does that same job. The methionine, inositol and choline are added on top — not because a provider has shown they help you specifically.
What the evidence supports
Plain B12
Correcting a B12 deficiency with B12 is well established. That is what B12 injections are for.
MIC B12
The B12 part, yes. The lipotropic part has thin high-quality human evidence — these blends are marketed far beyond what trials actually show.
Prescription status
Plain B12
Injectable B12 is a prescription product. Oral B12 is sold over the counter without one.
MIC B12
Prescription-only, compounded by a licensed pharmacy for you. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
What it does not do
Plain B12
It does not replace a GLP-1 medication and it is not a treatment for obesity.
MIC B12
Not a weight-loss treatment, not a detox, not a dietary supplement, and not FDA-approved.
If plain B12 is all you need, that is a fine answer.
B12 replacement is a solved problem: when a provider documents a deficiency, B12 corrects it, and that is true of a plain injection and of the B12 inside this blend. Nothing here suggests you need the other three ingredients to fix a B12 deficiency.
Surfbound's only B12 product is the MIC blend on this page, at $110 a month. If it turns out that plain B12 — or an over-the-counter oral B12 — is the simpler route for you, say so during intake. The provider would rather tell you that than prescribe something you do not need.
Both are prescription products when injected. Neither is a dietary supplement, and neither is a substitute for a GLP-1 medication.
Choosing between them
- Ask what your B12 level actually shows — a number, not a feeling.
- Tell the provider every supplement you take, so nothing is duplicated.
- Ask plainly whether the lipotropic ingredients change anything for you.
The provider decides which formulation is appropriate, and the dose and schedule that come with it.

The monthly plan bills monthly and renews until canceled. Package totals are charged in full at the start of each period, ship together as one package, and renew automatically at the same price until canceled in the patient portal. Processed pharmacy orders are nonrefundable. Surfbound does not bill insurance, so there is no prior authorization step.
Prescription required; compounded medications are not FDA-approved. MIC B12 is a separate treatment from NAD+ and is not included in the NAD+ plan.
How review works
A prescription still needs a reason.
A vitamin does not make an injection automatic. A licensed provider reads your history before anything is prescribed, and the answer can be no. Nothing is charged if you are not approved.
Tell your provider about
- Every prescription and supplement you take
- Liver or kidney conditions
- Any allergy to an ingredient in the blend
- Pregnancy, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding
Selecting MIC B12 starts the MIC B12 review — not the NAD+ review, and not a GLP-1 review.

Questions
MIC B12, answered
MIC B12 is a compounded injectable that combines three lipotropic compounds — methionine, inositol and choline — with vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). "MIC" is simply the initials of methionine, inositol and choline. It is a prescription product prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for an individual patient, not an over-the-counter vitamin shot.
MIC B12 is $110 a month for a one-month plan, $295 for a 3-month package and $540 for a 6-month package. Each plan includes the licensed provider review, the medication when it is prescribed, and shipping. There is no membership fee, and nothing is charged if you are not approved.
Surfbound does not sell or describe MIC B12 as a weight-loss treatment. It is not a GLP-1 medication, it is not a substitute for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and it is not part of any weight-loss plan. Lipotropic injections are often marketed online with fat-loss and "detox" language, but there is limited high-quality human evidence that they produce meaningful weight change. Any treatment decision belongs with a licensed provider. See the GLP-1 weight loss options instead
No. A plain B12 injection contains only vitamin B12. MIC B12 also contains methionine, inositol and choline, so it is a different formulation with different ingredients. Both are prescription products at Surfbound, and neither is sold as a dietary supplement. See the side-by-side comparison
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products. The FDA does not review a compounded formulation for safety, effectiveness or quality before it is dispensed. Surfbound states this plainly rather than implying otherwise.
Yes. MIC B12 is prescription-only. You complete an online intake, and a licensed provider reviews your health history and current medications before deciding whether an injection is appropriate and, if it is, what dose and schedule to prescribe.
No. MIC B12 is a separate treatment with its own intake, its own provider review and its own price. It is not included in the NAD+ injection plan, it is not an add-on to it, and starting MIC B12 does not start or change a NAD+ prescription. See the NAD+ options
The vial contains methionine, inositol, choline and vitamin B12. Surfbound does not publish milligram amounts on this page, because the strength is set by your prescriber and printed on the pharmacy label that ships with your medication. If the exact formulation matters to you, ask during intake or check the label before use.
It is given by subcutaneous injection, which most people self-administer at home after the pharmacy provides instructions. The dose and how often you inject are set by your licensed provider and printed on your prescription label — they are not a fixed schedule published on this page, and they are not something to change on your own.
Only a licensed provider can answer that for you. Tell your provider about every medication and supplement you take, any liver or kidney condition, any allergy to an ingredient, and whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some health conditions and medication combinations make an injectable unsuitable, and the provider will tell you if MIC B12 is not appropriate for you.
The one-month plan is billed monthly and renews until you cancel it in the patient portal. The 3-month and 6-month packages are charged in full at the start of each period, ship together as one package, and renew automatically at the same price every 3 or 6 months until you cancel. Processed pharmacy orders are nonrefundable. Read the refund policy
Surfbound is a cash-pay service and does not bill insurance, so there is no prior authorization and no claim to wait on. Whether your HSA or FSA reimburses a compounded prescription depends on your plan, so check with your plan administrator before relying on it.
