Peptides for Weight Loss

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist and was first approved in the U.S. in 2017 as a method to improve glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Recently, once weekly high-dose, Semaglutide has shown to be an effective solution for patients who are having difficulty losing weight. Vitamin B12 has been shown in studies to assist with the tolerance of treatment with GLP-1 agonists. Two common adverse reactions associated with Semaglutide are nausea and Hypophagia. These reactions have been shown to be significantly reduced when used along with Vitamin B12.

Contrave is a prescription medication designed to assist in weight loss by targeting different mechanisms in the body. Comprised of two active ingredients, bupropion and naltrexone, it can aid in weight management and control cravings. Bupropion, an antidepressant, acts on the brain's neurotransmitters to reduce appetite, increase metabolism, and curb food cravings. It may also contribute to a sense of fullness, aiding in portion control and calorie intake reduction. Naltrexone, often prescribed alone for addictions, fibromyalgia, and auto-immune conditions, works on opioid receptors in the brain, diminishing the reward and pleasure derived from food, thus decreasing cravings and compulsive eating behaviors. When combined, these two components in Contrave offer a synergistic effect, targeting different aspects of weight loss. Clinical studies have suggested that Contrave can assist individuals in achieving moderate weight loss when used alongside a comprehensive weight management program, including diet and exercise. Studies show an average of 5-10% body weight is lost.

Sermorelin works to burn fat by triggering the creation and release of hormones by the pituitary gland. Glycine plays a vital role in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary function, specifically impacting growth hormone release. Together, these peptides make the ultimate combination to increase IGF1 and help your body to burn fat.

Our proprietary vitamin Skinny Shot is comprised of methionine, inositol, carnitine, and methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12). This combination supports weight loss and metabolism. Methionine aids in fat metabolism, potentially preventing fat buildup in the liver and facilitating the breakdown of fats. Inositol aids in insulin regulation and fat metabolism, while carnitine helps transport fatty acids into cells to be converted into energy, potentially boosting metabolism. Methylcobalamin assists in energy production and can contribute to improved metabolism.
