Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is an exciting, cutting-edge science that uses amino acid sequences to enhance body functions. These peptides communicate with cells, signaling them to take specific actions. For weight management, peptides aid in weight loss by suppressing appetite, boosting metabolism, and improving fat oxidation.
GLP-1 + B12
GLP-1 treatment is designed to support weight loss and enhances metabolic health by regulating appetite, controlling blood sugar levels, and improving overall metabolic function.

GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP + B12 are generally safe when used correctly with guidance from a healthcare provider. However, like any medication, it can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which are usually mild and temporary. In rare cases, more serious side effects like pancreatitis or kidney problems may occur.
It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP + B12 with your healthcare provider and report any side effects or concerns promptly.
Both GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP + B12 are part of a group of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). They work by acting like a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar levels. GLP-1/GIP + B12 goes a step further by also mimicking another hormone called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Research has found that the combined effect of GLP-1 and GIP is more effective for weight loss compared to GLP-1 alone.
GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP + B12 may not be suitable for everyone. The following conditions can prevent the use of GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP + B12: personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, current use of another GLP-1 receptor agonist, diabetic ketoacidosis, known hypersensitivity to GLP-1 or any of its injection components, recent bariatric surgery within the last 6 months, and pregnancy.
Additionally, it is important to inform your doctor if you have or have had a stomach or intestinal disorder, pancreatitis, kidney disease, or diabetes-induced eye problems.
