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

Can you provide a keto diet grocery list?

Yes, we can. Your weight loss consultant will discuss which macronutrients will best support your personalized keto diet. A keto diet grocery list will make shopping for lean proteins, healthy fats, fresh vegetables, and good sources of carbohydrates much easier.

Your medications don't cost as much as the ones through my doctor. Are they safe?

While the price of compounded medications is not as expensive as other options can be, our medications are still prepared by licensed compounding pharmacists who follow strict quality standards and guidelines for every prescription.

When I lose the weight, am I on my own?

Most of our weight loss programs include maintenance. During this period, you will solidify what you've learned. We think teaching you how to keep weight off is just as important as helping you reach your desired weight. Instead of selling you pre-packaged meals, we teach you how to shop, cook, and eat real foods at home as well as when dining out.

What do I need in order to qualify for medical weight loss?

You must be at least 18 years of age in order to participate in injectable weight loss programs at Metabolic Research Center. You must complete a health screening with our healthcare provider. A Weight Loss Specialist will meet with you to help determine which program(s) might be right for you, schedule your health screening, and answer any questions you may have about getting started on prescription weight loss with MRC.

I've lost weight before. Will I be able to keep if off at MRC?

We don't do diets. Fad diets give weight loss a bad rap due the lack of sustainability. Metabolic Research Center has engineered our programs to provide you with the tools and skills needed to manage your weight for a lifetime. Our programs are uniquely designed to support long-term success.

How quickly can I get started on my medication?

While actual delivery time can vary, typically medications are filled and received about 1 week following your exam.

What else comes with my medication?

Your plan will include your medication, insulin needles, alcohol wipes, and Sharps container for safe needle disposal.

Is this a medical weight loss program?

Yes and no. Metabolic Research Center programs were developed by doctors working with certified dietitians. Our menus are deeply rooted in food science and nutrition. There is, however, no surgery and no prescription drugs. Instead, we help you determine what your body needs and recommend the supplementation and diet that will best support your efforts.
