Still have questions?
What is microdosing with GLP-1s?
Microdosing involves using lower, subtherapeutic doses of compounded GLP-1/GIP formulations combined with multiple active ingredients including GLP1/GIP working together. It is designed to promote overall wellness areas like energy, metabolic balance, and cognitive clarity, without a primary focus on weight loss.
What lifestyle habits can enhance my results?
Incorporating healthy habits—such as balanced nutrition, resistance training, hydration, quality sleep, and stress management—can complement your wellness journey. Patients are encouraged to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods, prioritize protein intake, minimize processed foods, and engage in regular exercise.
How long will it take to notice benefits?
Everyone’s experience is different. Some individuals may notice wellness support within a few weeks, while others may take longer. Consistency with use is important, and goals should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Why are GLP-1s being explored for wellness and longevity?
Emerging research suggests that GLP-1s may offer support beyond metabolic health, including areas like cardiovascular wellness, inflammation reduction, cognitive support, and liver function. However, compounded microdose formulations have not been specifically studied for these outcomes.
What is a compounded GLP-1?
Compounded GLP-1 formulations are custom-prepared medications made by licensed pharmacies based on a healthcare provider’s prescription. They are not FDA-approved but are produced using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and are tested for quality and sterility.
How is microdosed GLP-1 administered?
Microdose GLP-1 products can be administered either as weekly injections or daily oral tablets. Your provider will guide you on the method and dosing schedule best suited to your wellness goals.
What are the most common side effects with GLP-1s?
Mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, constipation, or reduced appetite can occur, especially early on. These effects are often temporary and less common at lower microdosing levels. Always communicate with your healthcare provider if you experience any concerns.
How is microdosing different from standard GLP-1 use?
Microdosing typically uses lower doses than those prescribed for diabetes or weight management, focusing instead on promoting daily wellness and metabolic balance. Dosing strategies can vary based on individual goals.
Can I use microdosed GLP-1 alongside other medications?
In many cases, yes. However, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all current medications and supplements to ensure there are no contraindications.
Are there any medication interactions or health conditions to be aware of?
Some medications and health conditions may require adjustments or extra monitoring when using GLP-1 products. Always disclose your full medical history and medication list to your healthcare team.
