Compounded Tirzepatide and/or Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
This medication is here to kickstart your weight loss journey, but you will need to make lifestyle changes to make the impact lifelong. We want sustainability and to keep the weight and inches you lose off for good!
Tirzepatide is the generic version of Mounjaro/Zepbound, an enhanced version of Ozempic/Wegovy. When compounded, it is a combination of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) AND glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists PLUS Vitamin B12.
Compounded Tirzepatide works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the gut and brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, and helps with direct fat metabolism. In other words, it helps you eat less, feel full longer, and burn off existing fat.
In addition to weight loss and diabetes control, research has shown that it lowers risks of strokes and heart attacks, controls high blood pressure, treats sleep apnea* in some, slows progression of Parkinson's* and Alzheimer's, reduces inflammation and osteoarthritic pain* (knees), and helps kidney function. Research articles available upon request.
