WEIGHT LOSS & FAT BURNING
SEMAGLUTIDE
WHAT IS IT?
Semaglutide is a Glucagon-like peptide Receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). GLP-’s are compounds made by our bodies that improve blood sugar control. Semaglutide also known as Ozempic, has been found in conjunction with proper nutrition and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Semaglutide is used in addition to lifestyle modifications for weight loss and chronic weight management. Studies show that patients can lose up to 15% of their body weight with this medication.
It is not recommended in those with medullary thyroid carcinoma, history of pancreatitis, or pregnancy.
​
ACTIONS
Semaglutide works on key metabolic pathways, including:
​
-Resetting Metabolic Rate
-Increasing metabolism
-Regulating Digestion & Hunger
-Reducing hunger, helping to make you feel full faster
-Regulating Blood Sugar
​
BENEFITS
-Weight loss
-Insulin Resistance
-Reduces Inflammation
-Reduce Oxidative Stress
-Improve control overeating
-Can lower A1C
​
FORMULATIONS
-Injectable

TIRZEPATIDE
WHAT IS IT?
​
Tirzepatide is a cutting-edge compound created for weight loss that mimics two different hormones in the body, GLP-1 and GIP. Both of these hormones regulate glucose and insulin levels.
​Unlike semaglutide, tirzepatide suppresses appetite and regulates blood sugar levels by way of targeting two specific receptors in the body
Studies demonstrate that Tirzepatide can significantly improve weight loss in those struggling with obesity. Additionally, it has been shown to improve other aspects of metabolic health, such as controlling blood sugar and reducing inflammation.
Research shows that tirzepatide lost an average of 21% of their body weight. Compared to 15% weight loss with semaglutide.

5 Amino- 1 MQ
WHAT IS IT?
​
5 Amino-1MQ is a peptide that blocks the actions of an enzyme found in muscle and fat tissue called nictoninamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT)
When this enzyme is in excess, it leads to health problems such as obesity to impaired cellular energy metabolism. It plays a critical role in regulating our body’s ability to store fat, maintaining muscle mass, and controlling blood sugar.
​
Studies show that supplementing with 5 amino 1 mQ can help reduce adipose tissue—aka belly fat—by promoting lipolysis or breaking down stored triglycerides into fatty acids which can then be used as energy.
​​
ACTIONS
By increasing blood glucose concentration through its stimulation in glycogenolysis or glucose breakdown from muscles, mq provides more calories available for energy consumption without needing additional carbohydrates from food sources.
Finally, it promotes thermogenesis—the production of heat—in order to burn even more calories than usual by accelerating metabolic processes like digestion in your digestive tract.
​
BENEFITS
- Burning fat and improving metabolic health (specific belly fat)
- Helps to regenerate muscle tissue by increasing NAD+ (which helps makes ATP/energy)
- Fights against cellular senescence (aging)
- Improves exercise performance by increasing the efficiency of cellular energy
- Increases BMR (Basil Metabolic Rate), aids liver and kidney function, treats metabolic conditions, activates muscle stem cells, and may prevent fat accumulation.
- Increases satellite cell proliferation, lowers cholesterol, reduces inflammation, and slows neuro-degeneration.
