Compounded Injections for Weight Control

For individuals seeking sustainable weight management solutions, compounded medications provide a tailored, patient-centered approach. But, choosing a reputable compounding pharmacy is essential to guarantee the effectiveness and safety of these medications. Compounding empowers healthcare professionals to think beyond mass-produced pharmaceutical offerings. 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+ itself offers targeted benefits, particularly when delivered via prescription compounded solutions. Tailor-made formulations can be compounded for specific prescriptive purposes.
  • Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – Compounded Lipo-B injections contain a carefully formulated blend of vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients designed to support weight management and metabolic health.
  • Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – The nutrients and amino acids found in compounded GAC promote better metabolic function and sustained energy levels, making them a smart holistic option.
  • Compounded Glutathione – Compounded glutathione adapts to suit diverse health needs and can be prescription customized to ensure it addresses specific health concerns compared to standard medications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you recommend DNA testing?

Not everyone needs a genetic panel. However, accurate DNA results furnish extensive detail into the lifestyle changes that could maximize your weight loss efforts. Our weight loss consultant can use your DNA panel to show you how your body manages food and crucial nutrients, as well as develop a program tailored to your genetic makeup.

Are you yo-yoing on your bathroom scales?

The only thing worse than a yo-yo approach to losing weight is staring at the evidence and not doing something about it. It is easy to get caught up bouncing from one ineffective diet to another. Effective weight loss comes from managing lifestyle issues and eating healthy foods that keep you sated between meals. To learn more, contact MRC and schedule a free consultation.

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.

Do I need to have labs done through you or can I use my own?

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.

I lose some and gain it back with more. Will your menu plan work for me?

Yes, we personalize each menu plan. At MRC, we don't do diets. Most of the weight you lose following a fad (or highly restrictive) diet is not sustainable. This often causes people to become frustrated with their own efforts. If the diet plan you were following always left you feeling hungry, it was doomed to fail. Our programs have you eat real food and supplement any hormonal disparities.

Is it safe for me to do another round of prescription weight loss after the first?

Many individuals taking prescription weight loss 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.

Can I go to the gym while taking prescriptions for weight loss?

Yes, there are no restrictions on physical activity while participating in our medical wight loss programs. You can exercise as much or as little as feels right for your body.

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.
