Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections

Semaglutide (also known as Ozempic and Wygovy) is a derivative of the naturally occurring GLP-1, a peptide known to lower blood sugar levels & enhance insulin secretion. It has been shown to decrease appetite by delaying gastric emptying & reducing intestinal motility. The result? It causes you to feel full- which lowers your appetite & increases your ability to lose weight when combined with a reduced-caloric meal plan and increased physical activity. An additional B12 injection is included per week to assist in helping increase energy levels metabolism.

Tirzepatide Weight Loss Injections

Tirzepatide (also known as Mounjaro) is unique in this class of drugs that not only targets not only the GLP-1 receptor, but also targets an additional receptor for the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Researchers have found that its dual receptor agonism produces a synergistic effect for significantly enhanced insulin response. In addition to the effects produced by Semaglutide of the GL-1 receptor, Tirzepatide also activates GIP receptors in fat cells, resulting in decreased adipose inflammation and increased adiponectin, both associated with reduced fat cell differentiation and increased energy expenditure. Tirzepatide may be an excellent alternative to Semaglutide under the correct clinical situation.

MIC Weight Loss Injections

MIC Injections

MIC (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) Injections, also referred to as Lipotropic Injections, or Lipo Injections, are used to help release fat throughout the body by specifically targeting its primary fatty deposits. The nutrients in MIC shots help decrease fat deposits by speeding up metabolism and removal of the fat. As the name indicates, MIC injections consist of three main ingredients: methionine, inositol, and choline. Vitamin B-12 is added to the shot and is purported to help accelerate metabolic processes, while creating a greater feeling of overall energy. MIC Injections can be given up to 1 or 2 times a week.

Methionine

Methionine is an essential amino acid that regulates metabolic processes and digestive functions. It helps remove heavy metals from your body while breaking down fat deposits and preventing the build-up of fat in arteries.

MIC Shot Ingredients

Inositol

Inositol is a compound related to B vitamins that helps convert fats into other useful forms of energy. When used in combination with other ingredients in a MIC injection, inositol can assist the liver in breaking down fats in the body. Furthermore, inositol can mimic the effects of insulin and lower your blood glucose levels.

Choline

Choline is another member of the vitamin B family. This nutrient plays an essential role in protecting your liver as well as controlling fat and cholesterol in the body. It helps your body burn fat, which may result in easier weight loss and better metabolic health.
