SO HERE'S THE RUN-DOWN
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a once a week subcutaneous injection. Semaglutide mirrors the natural hormones found in our bodies that help control blood sugar levels, slow the digestive system, and tell us we’re full.
Proven Weight Loss Results
Clinical studies have shown the average person lost 15% of their body weight after one year of taking Semaglutide. For the average patient, that's 24-36 lbs.
This graph shows a study where participants (with BMI >30) took Semaglutide each week for a year. The treatment group lost about 15% of their body weight. (That would be 37 lbs for a 250 lb individual.)

Understanding Semaglutide: How It Promotes Weight Loss
Semaglutide works in two critical ways. The first is by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating these hormones, Semaglutide can reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, which makes it easier to stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Semaglutide also helps the body become more sensitive to insulin and as a result, increases your body's ability to use fat for energy. Want to learn more about how this works?

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Semaglutide been on the market? Semaglutide first got FDA approval in 2017 under the brand name Ozempic. This FDA approval was for Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetics who were taking Ozempic noticed that they were losing weight as a side effect. Through clinical studies, Semaglutide was proven to be effective for weight loss and received FDA approval for weight loss in 2021 under the brand name Wegovy.
How does Semaglutide help me lose weight? Semaglutide works by acting like a GLP-1 hormone. This hormone works in your brain to regulate your appetite. By mimicking the activity of GLP-1, semaglutide can help reduce your appetite and lower the amount of calories you consume. This can lead to weight loss and help with weight management over time.
What is the difference between Semaglutide and other weight loss drugs? Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. Ozempic is the brand name for the FDA approval for Type 2 diabetes and Wegovy is the brand name of semaglutide that received FDA approval for weight loss. Semaglutide compounded with B-vitamins provides the same dose and effect as those other brand names.
Why is Semaglutide compounded with B-vitamins? Semaglutide is the same active ingredient that is in Ozempic and Wegovy. Compound pharmacies are compounding it with B-Vitamins to help with the number one side effect, nausea.
What if my BMI is above 30? The clinical studies for Semaglutide looked at people who have a BMI above 30, or above 27 with a co-morbidity. Thus, all the research, results, and average weight loss is referring to people with a BMI above 30.
What if my BMI is below 30? Come in for a medical assessment and see if you are healthy for Semaglutide. Patients without any contraindications can qualify for Semaglutide even if their BMI is below 30.
Will I need to use Semaglutide long-term? It is a personal choice, with guidance from one of our medical providers. Many people take it long-term because they like how they feel and the results they are getting. Many people, however, will take it for a period of time, lose the weight they desire, then go off of it. It is different for each person.
When does Semaglutide start working? Immediately after your first injection. Semaglutide will begin sending messages to your brain that you are full so you should start feeling the appetite suppression within days.
