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

My doctor recommended I come to MRC for my medication and coaching. Do I need a referral?

Referrals are not required in order to particpate in our prescription medical weight loss programs. Just give us a call, and we will schedule your free consultation to learn more and get started on compounded medications or other medical weight loss program options for which you qualify.

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

People seldom achieve goals solely on their own. There is usually someone along that way who offers support, encouragement, and praise. If you need someone who believes in you and is dedicated to seeing you attain your goal weight, contact Metabolic Research Center for a free consultation. We keep you motivated until you reach your target weight.?

I gained weight after a hysterectomy. Does MRC have a program that's right for me?

Weight gain following a hysterectomy is common. Because our programs are customized for every "Body", we may recommend hormone testing or a DNA panel to help identify any hormonal disparities that may be contributing to your weight gain. Your menu plans and supplementation are personalized to support your unique needs.

Are your medications made in compounding pharmacies safe?

Our medications are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacists who follow strict quality standards and guidelines.

How long do I have to wait before starting another round of compounded medications?

Most individuals who are in need of another round of medication can go right into their next round without a pause or waiting period. Your Weight Loss Specialist and/or healthcare provider will discuss options for continuing your compounded weight loss medication.

Are you active but keep hitting a weight loss plateau?

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.

How will I take the medication?

Compounded weight medications are generally injected by subcutaneosly either into your stomach or thigh. You will give yourself the injection at home using a insulin needle.

How much does MRC's weight loss programs cost?

Prices will vary depending on your personalized menu and the level of support you need. The average cost for our standard 17-week program is as little as $7.00* per day. All our programs include; easy to follow customized weight loss menus, private one on one support, unlimited weigh-ins and more. Many of our clients report spending far less on food after beginning our program. Because you are preparing most of the food yourself (and eating less of it), you are likely to realize significant savings compared to other diets that use their own pre-packaged meals. *The estimate of $7 per day includes a 17-week weight loss program and the required minimum of 2 MRC High Nutrient Supplements per day. Clients may choose to purchase other products such as additional high-nutritional supplements, nutraceuticals, and meal replacement shakes to accelerate weight loss and further control cravings. Please visit your local MRC center for specific program pricing, products, and services.
