Frequently Asked Questions

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) peptides are used to regulate blood sugar and promote weight loss. The most common peptides used are:
- Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are specific GLP-1 receptor agonists that may improve glycemic control and aid in weight management. Tirzepatide also has dual activity on GLP-1 and GIP receptors, potentially enhancing its metabolic benefits.
- Cagrilintide is an amylin analogue that works synergistically with GLP-1 receptor agonists to promote weight loss by suppressing appetite and improving satiety.
- AOD-9604 is a peptide fragment of human growth hormone that aids in fat metabolism and may help reduce body fat without affecting blood sugar levels.
- Retatrutide is a novel peptide currently being studied for its effects on weight loss and metabolic health. It has a triple agonist effect on GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, offering broad metabolic benefits.
-
- Enhancing insulin secretion and promoting glycemic control
- Reducing appetite and promoting satiety
- Increasing targeted fat metabolism
- In addition to reductions in body weight, abdominal fat and liver fat, Retatrutide treatment has been associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism and adipocyte hormones
-
- Significant weight loss
- Improved glycemic control and insulin sensitivity
- Reduced appetite and cravings
- Enhanced fat metabolism
- Lower risk of heart disease, such as heart failure, stroke and kidney disease
- Better overall metabolic health and reduced risk of obesity-related conditions

Lyophilized powder is a freeze-dried powder. The shelf life of peptide solutions (commonly cold shipped) is far less than that of lyophilized peptides, and peptides stored in solution are also vulnerable to bacterial degradation.
When storing lyophilized peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability. After opening or reconstituting a peptide with Bacteriostatic Water, peptide solutions are generally stable for up to 45 days when refrigerated at 4C (39F).
If you need instructions to reconstitute your peptide, schedule a wellness consultation.
