Compounded Injections for Weight Control
Compounded medications play an increasingly important role in weight management, particularly with the rising popularity of receptor agonist injections. These customized formulations can offer a more affordable and accessible solution for patients who require bespoke dosages or formulations not found in commercially available products. Discussed below are some of the compounded medications that may be prescribed to help you reach your long-term goals:
- Compounded Weight Loss Shot – Unlike commercial versions, compounded weight loss shots may include different ingredients or additional components for specific prescription formulations or adjustments in dosages.
- Compounded Peptide-Assisted Injection – Compounded peptide-assisted injections emerged as a vital solution for patients during national medication shortages and personalized prescriptions that align with an individual’s unique medical requirements.
- Compounded Weight Medication – Compounded weight medications contains the active ingredient found in well-known medications, but is prepared in a compounding pharmacy for each individual’s prescriptive needs.

- Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – Key ingredients like vitamin B12, methionine, inositol, and choline work together to promote the breakdown of stubborn fat, improve liver function, and boost energy levels.
- Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – Prepared by certified compounding pharmacies, these injections combine glutamine, arginine, and carnitine in precise concentrations to target metabolic health.
- Compounded Glutathione – Compounded glutathione works to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and plays a key role in the body's detoxification processes.

Medical Weight Loss Programs and More
At Metabolic Research Center, we understand that losing unwanted fat gain is about more than just the numbers on a scale. It's about addressing the underlying causes, including hormone imbalances and nutrient deficiencies. Our hormone test kit and DNA profiles can unlock the secrets behind your weight gain, allowing us to tailor your program to your specific needs.
We offer comprehensive and personalized solutions, including compounded injectables that reduce hunger by triggering hormone responses. Alongside the latest weight loss medications, our expert team provides lots of one-on-one support, regular progress tracking, and personalized menu plans featuring fresh lean proteins, healthy fats, whole foods, and smart carbohydrates.
Studies show that combining the latest medications with coaching, support, and lifestyle education yields the most sustainable results. However, if receptor agonists aren't suitable for you, don’t worry. MRC has decades of experience helping people achieve their long-term weight goals following a holistic and individualized approach backed by the latest science.
Compounded medications to kickstart your journey.
Receptor agonists have proven to be highly effective in helping people lose weight by mimicking your body's natural responses that regulate hunger and blood sugar levels. These medications work by slowing the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine, making you feel full sooner and for longer periods. This reduces your overall food intake without constantly counting calories.
Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for obtaining and administering prescription weight control medications. MRC’s network of licensed providers will complete an exam, and if suitable can prescribe compounded medications for you. A certified compounding pharmacy will ensure you get the highest quality medications.

An Individualized Approach for Weight Management
Simply cutting calories and increasing exercise seldom leads to lasting weight loss. That’s because your body produces hunger hormones to naturally slow down energy expenditure and this can lead to a frustrating cycle of yo-yo dieting. But, MRC’s medical weight loss plans are supervised by professionals and include a variety of tools and strategies.
We also offer a wide range of traditional programs, like our hormone balancing and personalized weight management menu plans. So, if you’re ready to shed weight, schedule your free consultation to learn more about the value of:
EATING REAL FOOD – MRC’s easy-to-follow menu plans emphasize real foods that are available at regular stores and restaurants, eliminating the need for pre-packaged meals or calorie counting. When you choose whole foods over highly processed alternatives, you get larger portions for the same caloric value. Plus, whole foods limit fat absorption and are rich in water content to aid hydration, which is important when using prescription weight loss medications.
1-ON-1 COACHING – Everyone needs a little nudge every now and then, and most of our weight loss coaches have been in your shoes. You'll work with your coach to create action plans, monitor your progress, discuss any concerns, and stay accountable to your objectives. Working together, you can achieve your goals by providing personalized guidance and accountability to help you achieve sustainable weight loss and improve your overall health and well-being.
HORMONE BALANCING – Fluctuations in hormones like estrogen and thyroid hormone can affect your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Plus, hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your weight and we offer an MRC Hormone Test Kit to easily identify current imbalances. By focusing on balanced nutrition and incorporating low-impact exercises like daily walks, you can optimize how your body uses calories and achieve long-term weight loss success.
MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS PLANS – Injectable medications like compounded weight loss drugs can be an option for those struggling with weight management. Although receptor agonists help manage appetite, improve metabolic efficiency and reduce overall calorie intake, that’s only the beginning. Your individualized plan at the medical weight loss clinic Barrington is a comprehensive weight management program that is intended to be sustainable for healthy living.
Weight loss can be challenging for various reasons, but our one-on-one coach will help you address mindset adjustments and understand your eating patterns. While losing weight without medications is tougher, it's not impossible. We've been helping people lose weight and keep it off for decades, with and without prescription medications. If you don't qualify for or prefer not to use medications, all our programs are backed by the latest science.
