Compounded Injections for Weight Control

Compounding allows the combination of multiple medications into a single, personalized patient solution by offering convenience alongside customization, such as removal of inactive allergens. While these medications are not FDA-approved, MRC’s certified compounding pharmacies follow rigorous quality standards and state-board regulations to ensure safety and efficacy. 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 NAD+ – NAD+ compounded medications are designed to support diverse health goals such as improving energy metabolism, promoting anti-aging benefits, and aiding in addiction recovery.
  • Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – Compounded Lipo-B injections, often referred to as lipotropic injections, are crafted with a combination of vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients to support metabolic health.
  • Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – Compounded GAC injectables are carefully crafted by a certified 503A compounding pharmacy to support healing, recovery, and overall wellness.
  • Compounded Glutathione – By neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, compounded glutathione safeguards cells, promotes cellular repair, and supports overall wellness.
  • Compounded Sermorelin – Compounded sermorelin is a synthetic 29-amino acid polypeptide designed to mimic the body's natural GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) for improving energy efficiency.

Compounded injectable medications offer a personalized approach to addressing unique patient needs, particularly in cases where standard, FDA-approved medications fall short. Whether it’s adjusting dosages, removing allergens, or providing alternatives during medication shortages, compounded injections provide vital solutions that mass-produced pharmaceuticals cannot always deliver. Specialized formulations are created by licensed pharmacists who combine, mix, or alter ingredients based on a clinician’s prescription to meet individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've undergone a pretty stressful situation in my life and gaining weight. Does Metabolic have a plan for me?

You've come to the right website. When stress is prolonged, cortisol levels start to seesaw, triggering blood sugar and insulin imbalances, food and sugar cravings, sleep disturbances, weight gain, and belly fat. MRC offers personalized weight loss plans coupled with exercise tips and achievable life style changes to help reduce stress and improve your coping skills. If you are ready to take the weight off, call Metabolic Research Center today.

Why do I keep hitting a weight loss plateau even when I'm active?

Being physically active is important, but exercise is often misunderstood as it relates to losing weight. As long as you continue to consume sugary drinks, processed foods, and empty calories, your body will keep hitting plateaus. A more effective approach to permanent weight loss is to follow a personalized program that satisfies your body's unique needs.

Do I need to have commercial health insurance in order to participate in your medical weght loss programs?

No, you do not need to have commercial health insurance in order to participate in prescription weight loss with Metabolic Research Center. A referral is not required either.

I'm sick of being overweight but can't get motivated. How can MRC help?
