Compounded Injections for Weight Control

While maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise are fundamental for long-term weight control, compounded injectables provide an additional layer of support for those needing personalized interventions. At MRC, licensed clinicians work with certified compounding pharmacists to prescribe and prepare individualized formulations that align with a patient’s specific medical needs. 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+ – By offering tailored formulations, often in injectable form, compounding pharmacies address specific health goals such as boosting energy metabolism and promoting anti-aging benefits.
  • Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – Compounded Lipo-B injections aim to boost the body’s natural metabolic processes, making fat oxidation and energy management more efficient.
  • Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – Rich in essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, compounded GAC injections are also linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases.
  • Compounded Glutathione – When prepared as a compounded formulation by a pharmacist, glutathione can be customized to meet individual needs by enhancing the ingredients overall effectiveness.
  • Compounded Sermorelin – Compounded sermorelin, a synthetic 29-amino acid polypeptide, is designed to mimic the natural growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) in the body to enhance energy levels.

Compounded weight medications are created by certified compounding pharmacies, which adhere to strict state pharmacy board regulations and comply with rigorous quality standards to ensure safety and effectiveness. While these medications are not FDA-approved, they provide flexibility and are prescribed by licensed healthcare providers when standard formulations or doses are unsuitable. This personalized care offers a cost-effective alternative to brand-name drugs and opens new doors for achieving sustainable metabolic health.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Are medications made in compounding pharmacies still safe?

Our medications are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacists who follow strict quality standards and guidelines. We regularly inspect all of our compounding pharmacies for safety and adherence to all guidelines.

Should I be following a low-carb high-fat diet?

Our clients follow a low-carbohydrate diet that eliminates sugary drinks, processed foods, pre-packaged meals, and other foods that contain empty calories. Contrary to popular belief, eating fats doesn't turn into fat. In fact, many people fail to consume enough healthy fats in their diet. Because MRC personalizes a menu plan and weight loss program just for you, you will have the right combination for a healthy low-carb high fat diet.

What does my medical weight loss program include?

All medical weight loss programs include your prescription, a simple and structured menu plan, and one-on-one coaching.

Do you offer a high-blood pressure diet?

Yes. We can personalize a menu plan to meet your body's specific needs. Typically, a high-blood pressure diet is comprised of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. You will need to eliminate processed foods with added sugars and high sodium content. Plus, our weight loss programs include mild exercise and lifestyle changes that promote a good night's sleep.

How do you take compounded medications?

Compounded medications like peptides are injected subcutaneously either into the stomach or thigh. We will provide detailed directions and work with you to make sure that you feel confident administering your medication prior to starting.

Are your programs covered by health insurance?

We have found that most major medical insurance companies will reimburse you for medical necessity. You can call the customer service number listed on the back of your health insurance card to learn more. MRC does not accept nor do we bill insurance companies for services rendered.
