Peptides have become a popular weight loss supplement in recent years, as they work to help break down fat cells and promote weight loss. A peptide is a short chain of amino acids that are linked together and can be thought of as a small protein.
In our bodies, these small proteins typically act as signaling molecules. They bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do. By attaching to receptor proteins on the surface of certain cells, peptides will stimulate how that cell responds to certain stimuli.
Since peptides can treat very specific conditions in the body, there is a very wide range of benefits. Peptides can be used to improve overall wellness in the body as well as limit the effects of aging in the body.
Peptides have specifically shown proven benefits for weight loss. If you are a healthy person with no pre-existing set of conditions, then different peptide therapies can be really effective for reaching your goals.

Semaglutide has been used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. However, it has recently been approved to be used for other purposes; most commonly weight loss and weight management. You may know it by its brand names: Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus. The primary difference between all of these brands and Semaglutide is cost. The brand name versions can range in price reaching as high as $2,000 a month with insurance. Since our Semaglutide option is the generic form we are able to provide it at a much lower cost to our patients and guests.
Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone that acts on appetite centers in the brain and in the gut, producing feelings of satiety or feeling full. Semaglutide can safely kick-start your metabolic health. Research shows that, in combination with physician monitoring and lifestyle tweaks, GLP-1s are the most effective and safe long-term option for weight loss.

Yes, Semaglutide is an approved drug by the FDA.
Semaglutide is part of a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. It increases insulin secretion, which is good for diabetes. But at higher doses, it acts on centers in the brain and suppresses appetite.
The effects extend beyond just weight loss. High-dose Semaglutide (2.4 mg/weekly) could prevent and treat diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and related complications, including osteoarthritis and sleep apnea.
