How does the Peptide GLP-1 Make an Impact:

This injection increases insulin secretion, which is good for those with diabetes. However, when given in higher doses, it acts on centers in the brain and suppresses appetite. The treatment helps patients stick to a reduced-calorie diet and is used with diet and exercise, enhancing the weight loss process.

​

Doses and Administration:

The GLP-1 Peptide injection is delivered into the adipose tissue, typically in the abdomen. The dosage of the weekly injections can be titrated higher after discussion with our medical provider to ensure no adverse reaction has occurred.

**Please keep in mind this titration schedule is subject to the individual BMI, height, weight, and tolerance.
