What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide-1) receptor agonist and is FDA approved for weight loss. It has emerged as a life-changing option for overweight or obese people who are committed to shedding a significant amount of weight and do not have other significant underlying health issues. Semaglutide is not a miracle cure or a gimmicky "fat-burning" supplement. Semaglutide is a long-acting prescription medicine designed to be used over an extended period of several months or more.

Who is it for?

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, clinical trials for Semaglutide in people with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or more have shown an average of 14.9% reduction in overall body weight. Semaglutide is not recommended for those who are looking for an "instant" or short-term weight loss fix.

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide is a once-weekly subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection and works by stimulating your pancreas to increase insulin. This additional insulin causes the stomach to empty over a longer period of time. When your stomach takes more time to empty itself of food, it sends signals of "fullness" to the brain. This signal is sent throughout a larger portion of your day, even if you're eating less food than usual. This slow and consistent digestion is merely an early step in the chain reaction that makes Semaglutide such an effective weight loss drug. The end result of this process is a powerful appetite suppression effect based on the patient's own natural insulin production.

A Semaglutide regimen, along with lifestyle intervention, will also lead to healthier blood sugar levels, which can help you feel more energetic throughout your day. Stabilized and controlled blood sugar levels can also help improve other areas of your overall health. Even if you aren't at risk for diabetes, this effect can contribute to a general sense of well-being, which is a crucial component in any weight loss journey.

Who should not take semaglutide?

  • You should NOT take semaglutide if you previously experienced hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any component of the formulation.
  • You should NOT take semaglutide if you or any of your family members have a history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC).
  • You should NOT take this medication if ever diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2).
  • Discuss with your primary care provider before taking semaglutide.

Injection site and proper administration

Hexarelin is a synthetic peptide belonging to the category of growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs). It stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, which can have various effects on the body, including increasing muscle mass, reducing fat mass, and improving recovery from injuries.  Learn more…

Sermorelin is a peptide analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) which is used as a diagnostic agent to assess growth hormone (GH) secretion for the purpose of diagnosing growth hormone deficiency. It is a 29-amino acid polypeptide representing the 1–29 fragment from endogenous human GHRH, thought to be the shortest fully functional fragment of GHRH. Learn more…

Explanation, Benefits, and Dosing for IGF-LR3: 
IGF-1 LR3 is a polypeptide long-chain amino acid peptide hormone. Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1 Long-Arginine 3), an 83 amino acid analog of IGF-1, is a highly anabolic hormone released primarily in the liver with the stimulus of growth hormone (HGH). IGF-1 LR3 plays an important role in cell proliferation, cell-to-cell communication and cell division.IGF-1 LR3 is a derivative of IGF-1. Due to its structural adjustment, IGF-1 LR3 has a much longer half-life and results may persist in the bloodstream for up to 120 times longer. Learn more…

Top 10 Benefits of IGF-1 LR3 for Men:

IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Long R3) is a modified form of IGF-1 that has been altered to have a longer half-life, increasing its effectiveness in the body. Due to its enhanced stability, IGF-1 LR3 has gained popularity for its wide range of potential benefits for men, particularly in areas related to muscle growth, recovery, anti-aging, and metabolic health.

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a single novel molecule that activates the body’s receptors for GIP and GLP-1, which are natural incretin hormones. GIP is a hormone that may complement the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonism. GIP has been shown to decrease food intake while blunting the metabolic adaptive responses that usually occur with calorie restriction resulting in weight reductions, and when combined with GLP-1 receptor agonism, may result in greater effects on markers of metabolic dysregulation such as body weight, glucose and lipids. Learn more…
