Lipo-Gen™ by Metagenics – Liver and Gallbladder Support
Lipo-Gen™ by Metagenics combines vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanical extracts in a lipotropic formula designed for liver and gallbladder support.* Rather than supplying a single herb, it brings together nutrients used in normal fat handling and cellular metabolism. Each two-tablet serving includes 300 mg of choline, 150 mg of myo-inositol, and a 95 mg blend of artichoke leaf and Chen Pi peel extracts. The 90-tablet and 270-tablet options provide the same formula per serving, allowing you to choose a container that fits your practitioner-directed routine.
Key Lipo-Gen™ Benefits
- Supports healthy liver and gallbladder function with a combination of lipotropic nutrients and selected botanical extracts.*
- Provides choline for normal lipid transport and the phospholipids that help build cell membranes.*
- Combines folate, vitamins B6 and B12, and L-methionine with other nutrients involved in everyday metabolism.*
How Lipo-Gen™ Works
The liver processes nutrients after meals, while the gallbladder stores bile used during fat digestion. Lipo-Gen supplies nutritional building blocks for these normal functions rather than acting as a digestive enzyme replacement. Choline support is central to its design: choline contributes to phosphatidylcholine, a membrane component also involved in transporting fats. Folate and vitamin B12 participate in interconnected pathways that transfer small chemical units called methyl groups. These everyday processes help explain the formula’s nutritional approach to healthy fat metabolism and methylation support.*
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Choline: Supports normal lipid transport and contributes to membrane phospholipids; it also participates in methyl-group metabolism.*
- Folate and vitamin B12: Supplied as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and methylcobalamin, these vitamins contribute to normal nutrient metabolism.*
- Artichoke leaf extract and Chen Pi peel extract: This botanical pair complements the lipotropic nutrients. The label identifies cynarin and chlorogenic acid in the artichoke extract and standardizes the Chen Pi extract to 2% total bioflavonoids.
- Myo-Inositol, taurine, and L-methionine: These distinct nutrients broaden the combination beyond its vitamins and minerals; the full ingredient amounts are listed below.
Metagenics identifies this as a non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian supplement. It is a tablet formula, not an oil-filled capsule. Review your full supplement routine with your practitioner, particularly if other products also supply vitamin B6 or choline. Consistent food choices remain the foundation of nutritional support.

- Adults seeking practitioner-guided nutritional support for normal liver and gallbladder function.*

Frequently Asked Questions About Lipo-Gen™
What are the main benefits of Lipo-Gen?
Lipo-Gen is designed to support healthy liver and gallbladder function with lipotropic nutrients, selected amino acids, vitamins, and botanical extracts.* Choline contributes to normal lipid transport and cell-membrane structure, while folate and vitamin B12 support normal metabolic processes.* The formula also includes myo-inositol, taurine, L-methionine, betaine HCl, and a two-herb blend. Its role is nutritional support alongside a balanced diet, not a replacement for evaluation or treatment of a liver or gallbladder concern.
Who might consider Lipo-Gen?
An adult seeking a practitioner-guided liver and gallbladder support supplement may consider this combination formula.* It can suit someone who prefers tablets and a product identified as non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegetarian. Both container sizes have the same two-tablet serving and ingredient amounts. Choosing the right product still depends on your medications, health history, and other supplements. Your practitioner can review those details and decide whether this formula and its recommended schedule fit your needs.
Are there side effects or precautions with Lipo-Gen?
Individual tolerance can vary with a multi-ingredient supplement, and digestive discomfort or sensitivity to an ingredient is possible. If pregnant or nursing, or taking medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of the reach of children. Review the entire ingredient list, including the botanical extracts, and discuss any liver or gallbladder condition before starting. Follow the recommended mealtime directions unless your practitioner advises otherwise, and stop use and seek advice if you experience an unexpected reaction.
How does Lipo-Gen fit into an overall wellness routine?
Use Lipo-Gen as one part of a consistent nutrition plan rather than as a cleanse or shortcut to wellness. Balanced meals, appropriate activity, and professional guidance remain important. The manufacturer recommends two tablets at mealtime three times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. The serving information above refers to two tablets, not the entire daily schedule. Have your practitioner review overlapping ingredients in other products and help you decide how to assess whether the routine remains appropriate.
