Semaglutide
As a glucagon-like petite-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of naturally occurring GLP-1, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and appetite. By activating the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, Semaglutide helps to reduce hunger and cravings, and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a decreased caloric intake.
Additionally, it slows down the emptying of the stomach and promotes better blood sugar control. Because the incretin hormone, GLP-1, is expressed in the cells of the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, heart and brain, GLP-1 receptor agonists offer cardiovascular and renal benefits as well.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide is a prescription medication specifically compounded to assist with weight management. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Semaglutide can help adults achieve significant weight loss. It belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body.
This treatment works by regulating blood sugar levels after meals, stimulating insulin secretion, and slowing down the release of sugar into the bloodstream. By delaying stomach emptying, Semaglutide helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie consumption. Clinical studies have shown that weekly Semaglutide injections can lead to an average weight loss of 9-13% over a year when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
What to Expect During Semaglutide Treatment
Semaglutide is administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and adjust the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss after their dose has been increased one to two times, typically within a month. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.
Who is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or for adults with a BMI of 27 who also have at least one weight-related complication such as hypertension, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. People with the following conditions should avoid Semaglutide:
-Pregnant or breastfeeding women
-Individuals with a history of pancreatitis
-Those with Type-1 diabetes
-People allergic to Semaglutide or any of its ingredients
-Individuals with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
-Those with a history of thyroid cancer
-Always consult a medical professional before starting Semaglutide to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
LipoB12
In general, lipotropins support the body with its natural detoxification processes by regulating fat metabolism, removing toxins and waste, and supporting the liver. Accumulation of fat in the liver interferes with cholesterol metabolism and hormone balance resulting in the accumulation of fat deposits in the liver and coronary system.
Our LipoB12 Fat Burner shots contain a combination of vitamins, nutrients and amino acids. B12 is a nutrient that supports optimal blood, heart, and brain function, but also plays a vital role in how the body metabolizes fats and carbohydrates. Lipotropic compounds such as methionine, inositol, and choline promote proper liver function and boosts your body’s ability to breakdown fat.
While you can get some of these vitamins and nutrients through certain foods and/or supplements, there is a much higher efficiency rating with injections. By injecting B12 and Lipotropic agents, the nutrients bypass the gastrointestinal tract and get straight to work in the cells that need them.
Benefits of LipoB12 Injections
Lipotropic compounds can improve overall liver and gallbladder function, protect joints, and help preserve lean muscle. They have also been shown to lower high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
B12 and other B vitamins have many health benefits including improved immune system function, enhanced memory, and healthy neurological activity support. Our bodies also depend on B12 to help reduce stress and continue to grow and repair healthy cells.
The specific combination of nutrients gives you added energy and mood enhancement, while helping your body maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
