Description of Ingredients
SUPER LIPOTROPIC (fat burning) Amino Acids and Nutrients included:
Methionine– Helps the body break down fats and prevents the accumulation of fat in the liver, improves metabolism and reduces inflammation
Choline– Essential for fat metabolism and assists in detoxification of the liver. Choline may also reduce homocysteine levels in the blood, thus reducing the likelihood of heart disease. Memory, intelligence, and mood are improved by adequate levels of choline
Inositol– Instrumental in breaking down fat molecules and reducing cholesterol in the body. It is also associated with proper insulin function which is necessary for utilization of carbohydrates. Inositol is also key in modulating serotonin levels, with serotonin being partially responsible for feelings of well-being versus depression.
L-carnitine- A naturally-occurring compound synthesized in the brain, liver, and kidneys facilitating the breakdown of excess triglycerides in the blood. It has been shown to improve neurotransmitter function in the brain and aid in the building of lean muscle mass.
Leucine– Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that stimulates muscle protein synthesis. It may also support muscle health, exercise recovery, and healthy blood sugar levels.
Adenosine- Known to increase energy by enhancing metabolism through the intracellular transfer of energy. It also promotes a sensation of satiety or “fullness”
VITAMINS and MINERALS included:
Vitamin B12 (Hydroxocobalamin)- Necessary for proper central nervous system function, increased energy & metabolism, healthier immune systems, less allergies, stress & depression
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride)– Important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy. Help symptoms of nausea

Eligibility depends on many individual factors. Generally, GLP-1 use is safe and effective to treat many but not all overweight and obese patients, specifically those with a BMI of 25 or higher.
GLP-1 use is safe and effective with many pre-existing conditions with the exception of the following:
Currently pregnant
Currently breastfeeding
Currently being treated for cancer
Active eating disorder
Active gallbladder disease
Active substance abuse or dependency
Type 1 diabetes
Bariatric surgery (within the past 18 months)
Pancreatitis within the past 6 months, or a history of pancreatiitis caused by taking a GLP-1
Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN syndrome
Personal history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Yes, all medications are made in a State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacies, or FDA 503(b) Outsourcing Facilities. We work with pharmacies licensed in all 50 states only using the highest quality ingredients.
Actual weight lost is dependent on a number of factors. While we cannot guarantee any weight loss, many clients lose around 5% of their initial body weight. Over 12 weeks, it can be as high as 10%. This equates to a weight loss of 10–20 pounds for a 200 pound person. Everyone is different though and the most successful patients also work hard to make diet and lifestyle changes.
Yes. Semaglutide (the same ingredient in Wegovy & Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (the same ingredient in Zepbound & Mounjaro) have been shown to support weight loss and long-term weight management in multiple studies.
Side effects for GLP-1s may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, upset stomach, dizziness, constipation, feeling bloated, belching, gas, headaches and fatigue. Some side effects may subside after a few weeks of patient’s body getting used to the medication. EPatients may be eligible to receive prescription medication to help combat the side effects should they arise along with directions on dosage to help keep side effects to a minimum. In the most recent clinical trials, less than 5% of people discontinued GLP-1 medications because of side effects.
Patients prescribed weight loss medications may not always have to follow a specific, restrictive diet but may lose more weight if one eats a well-balanced diet full of whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats and fiber. Creating better habits may also help keep the weight off.
Our goal is to help all patients create healthy habits for long-term health. Exercise is not a requirement, but something strongly encouraged for all patients. Movement is key to good health. Many patients have anecdotally reported that exercise often becomes easier if one starts losing weight.
