Semaglutide+L-Carnitine (Ozempic, Wegovy) - A great option for patients with metabolic syndrome. This is a once weekly subcutaneous injection that affects your appetite hormone ghrelin. This medication helps to lower appetite and decrease gastric motility so you stay fuller longer. This does require a prescription.  

​

This can be a great option for our patients with metabolic syndrome. This is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection that affects GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)  receptor agonist, both appetite hormones. GIP is a hormone that complements the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonist. GIP decreases food intake and increases energy expenditure therefore resulting in weight reduction, and when combined with GLP-1 results in greater effects on markers of metabolic dysregulation such as body weight, glucose, and lipids. This does require a prescription. 

Lipotropic injections contain a high dose of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids considered fat-burning compounds that help boost metabolism. 

• ​Methionine Choline (MIC)
  Helps release fat throughout the body by specifically targeting its primary fatty deposits.
   

• Methionine
  An essential and important amino acid and antioxidant. It defends the body against toxic compounds.
   

• Inositol
  Related to the vitamin B family, this nutrient is involved in the breakdown of fats and elevates mood. Used in cell membranes.
   

• L-Carnitine
  An amino acid that helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, along with muscle movement.
   

• Choline
  Nutrient needed for proper liver function (detox). Exports fat and bile from the liver. Responsible for seeing that exported fat is burned for energy and fuel.
   

• Vitamin B12/cyanocobalamin
  Serves many biological purposes including helping form red blood cells (without it our bodies don’t absorb iron as well), and improves brain, heart, central nervous system functions and metabolism.
   

• B complex vitamins
  Energy metabolism.

Vitamin B12 helps convert your body’s fat and protein into energy. When someone suffers a prolonged B12 deficiency, there’s a chance that they will develop anemia, a condition characterized by low levels of red blood cells. The body struggles to transport sufficient amounts of oxygen to its various tissues, which can cause debilitating weakness along with other medical issues such as a struggle to lose weight. A Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to long-term weight control problems. When the body’s natural balance is disrupted, it typically responds by slowing down your metabolism, conserving fat stores, and burning fewer calories throughout the day.

We administer B vitamins injections in our office to help with weight loss. Such B complex vitamins include the lipotropic fat-burning shots including amino acids to boost fat loss. 

If you battle high cholesterol, high triglycerides, or have a history of heart attack, taking C-Q 10 may result in blood pressure and serum HDL (“good”) cholesterol, as well as lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.
