Amino Acid Infusions for Weight Loss
at Sunshine Health DPC
Amino acid infusions at Sunshine Health DPC aid in weight management by providing a direct, concentrated source of amino acids that support various metabolic processes, muscle preservation, and fat burning.
How IV Infusions Helps:
1
Promotes Muscle Growth and Maintenance
Amino acid infusions help repair and build muscle tissue. Increased muscle mass boosts metabolism, enabling the body to burn more calories at rest, supporting weight loss and improving body composition.
2
Enhances Fat Metabolism
Amino acids like L-carnitine, glutathione, glutamine, arginine, and lysine, help transport fatty acids into cells for energy production, aiding fat burning and promoting efficient metabolism, which can accelerate fat loss. We also use anti-oxidants like lipoic acid and co-enzymes such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide for metabolic boosting.
3
Reduces Fatigue and Supports Exercise
Amino acid infusions improve energy levels, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance recovery, boost metabolism and improve sleep quality. This allows you to engage in more frequent or intense workouts, which contributes to greater calorie burn and weight management.
4
Improves Appetite Control
Certain amino acids help regulate hunger hormones, reducing cravings and enhancing appetite control, which can contribute to better eating habits and overall weight management.
5
Supports Muscle Preservation During Weight Loss
When you’re in a calorie deficit, there’s a risk of losing muscle along with fat. Amino acid infusions help preserve muscle mass, ensuring that weight loss comes primarily from fat stores rather than muscle tissue.
6
Boosts Metabolic Function
Amino acids play a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, improving the efficiency of energy use in the body. This helps keep your metabolism active and supports fat burning.
At Sunshine Health, we tailor amino acid infusions to meet your unique needs...
whether you’re focused on fat loss, muscle building, or enhancing exercise performance. These treatments complement a comprehensive weight management plan, including nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions about Amino Acid Infusions
at Sunshine Health DPC
What are amino acid infusions?
Amino acid infusions involve delivering a concentrated blend of essential and non-essential amino acids directly into your bloodstream through an IV. This allows for faster absorption and more immediate benefits compared to oral supplementation. In addition to amino acids, we also utilize anti-oxidants and co-enzymes.
How do amino acid infusions help with weight management?
Amino acid infusions support weight management by boosting muscle mass, enhancing fat metabolism, improving recovery after exercise, boosting metabolic burn, improving sleep quality and helping regulate appetite, all of which contribute to more effective fat-burning and calorie expenditure.
Who can benefit from amino acid infusions?
Amino acid infusions can benefit anyone looking to support weight loss, improve exercise performance, enhance recovery, reduce muscle loss during weight loss, and boost metabolism. It is especially useful for individuals who struggle with energy levels or have difficulty building or maintaining muscle.
How do amino acid infusions support muscle growth?
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Infusions help repair and build muscle tissue, increasing muscle mass, which in turn boosts metabolism and enhances fat burning.
Are amino acid infusions safe?
Yes, amino acid infusions are generally safe when administered by trained professionals. At Sunshine Health DPC, we carefully assess your health needs before recommending or administering any infusion.
How long does a session take?

How often should I receive amino acid infusions?
The frequency of infusions varies based on your individual health goals and needs. Some people may benefit from a one-time boost, while others may require multiple sessions over time for optimal results.
What benefits can I expect from amino acid infusions?
- Increased metabolism and fat burning
- Enhanced muscle mass and preservation
- Improved energy and reduced fatigue
- Better workout recovery
- Regulated appetite
- Improved skin health and collagen production
Improved sleep quality
What amino acids are typically included in the infusion?
Common amino acids used in infusions include:
- Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which support muscle recovery and energy during exercise.
- Glutamine: Aids in muscle repair and immune function.
- Carnitine: Assists in fat metabolism and energy production.
- Arginine: Improves blood flow and circulation.
- Glutathione detoxifies, boosts metabolism, and supports fat burning.
- Lysine supports muscle building, enhances fat metabolism, and reduces appetite, aiding weight loss.
- Lipoic acid boosts metabolism, reduces fat storage, and improves insulin sensitivity, aiding weight loss.
NAD+ boosts metabolism, enhances energy production, and supports fat burning, aiding weight loss.
Do I need to make any lifestyle changes after an infusion?
While amino acid infusions can provide an immediate boost, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular exercise will maximize the benefits of the treatment. We can also provide personalized recommendations for diet and fitness based on your goals.
