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 Methylene Blue – Acting as an electron carrier, compounded methylene blue facilitates energy production within mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse, effectively improving cellular energy output.
  • 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

Do I need my doctor's approval to get started?

No, not to get started. You can discuss specific health conditions and medications in your one-on-one consultation with our weight loss specialist. If there are any concerns, we may recommend that you check with your doctor to be safe. We are, however, very experienced at personalizing menu plans for numerous health issues and dietary restrictions.

Will losing weight help restore my endurance?

Most of our clients are surprised at how much better they feel and how much more stamina they have after following a personalized diet based on eating real foods. Moreover, we can help you identify any hormonal disparities that might be zapping your energy, so you can make the necessary adjustments to reclaim your health and wellness.

When I try to diet, I'm always hungry. Can MRC help me?

Yes, we can. In fact, we understand that always feeling hungry can be a major obstacle standing in the way of you attaining your goals. We will instruct you how to use your weight loss plan to prepare the right foods in a way that fuels your metabolism. Our menus incorporate a healthy balance of lean proteins, the right fats and healthy carbohydrates. You'll feel satisfied and in full control, making losing weight easier.?

How many micronutrients does my body need?

By analyzing the body's white blood cell, a lab technician can measure around 35 nutritional components including deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. That's why your personalized weight loss program at MRC may include recommendations for supplements or nutraceuticals to support your dietary intake.

Will my prescription weight loss program make me feel tired and sluggish?

Fatigue can be a side effect of incretin mimetic medications. While not common, you may experience some sluggishness while taking your prescription weight loss medication. If you do experience tiredness, your MRC Team will have tools, resources, and tips to help you overcome any side effects.

In most cases, lab work is not required. Should our physician need to see your labs, they will let you know on an individual, case-by-case basis. If labs are needed, then you are welcome to provide your own from your primary healthcare provider, provided they are in date and include any required panels.

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.

Do you accept insurance for prescription weight loss?

At this time we are unable to process insurance through our offices. We do accept Flex Spending and HSA on applicable purchases of weight loss medications and products.

Our prescription medications are affordably priced so that the vast majority of individuals are able to afford their medication without the supplementation of insurance.
