Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)
Semaglutide has been found to safely promote substantial weight loss with the brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. Some compounding pharmacies are now providing the active ingredient, Semaglutide, without the high costs of the brand names.
Semaglutide is a GLP - 1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonist that helps regulate appetite and food intake. Semaglutide requires a prescription and is a once weekly injection that is given just under the skin with a gradual increase in dose. Clients can be instructed on how they can give these injections to themselves, by family members, or they can come to our clinic to get their injection.
Semaglutide Weight Loss Benefits
Reduced waist circumference
Decreased risk of heart disease
Improvement in systolic blood pressure
Improved lipid blood levels
Lower HbA1c (used to monitor diabetes)
Decreased inflammatory markers
Can improve PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)
Tirzepatide is a peptide therapy weight loss drug that is administered by injection. This particular treatment is effective in helping patients with type 2 diabetes manage their condition. At the same time, it can boost weight loss for patients with a high BMI who struggle to achieve their desired results with diet and exercise alone. The medication controls insulin levels, producing more when blood sugar levels rise. At the same time, it slows the movement of food in the stomach, allowing the patient who takes the injections to feel fuller, longer.

Phentermine (Adipex)
Phentermine is a medication for chronic weight management. It is for people with overweight and weight-related complications or obesity. It is meant to be used together with a lifestyle therapy regimen involving a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that works in the brain.
Who Should Not Take Phentermine?
People who have heart disease or uncontrolled hypertension
Women who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant

How Is Phentermine Dosed?
Take 1 tablet or capsule once a day before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast. Phentermine is approved for short-term weight loss therapy. The usual duration of treatment is 12 weeks or less.
Is Phentermine a Controlled Substance?
Yes, phentermine is a federally controlled substance because it may be abused or lead to drug dependence. Some states only allow your doctor to prescribe one month at a time.
Which Medications Might Not Be Safe to Use with Phentermine?
Phentermine can affect how other medicines work in your body, and other medicines can affect how phentermine works or make side effects worse. Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take (ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list if you’re not sure), especially the following medicines:
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)—usually used to treat depression
Adrenergic neuron blocking drugs—these are usually taken to treat high blood pressure or psychotic symptoms
Other weight loss medications, including over the counter medications
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)—used to treat depression and anxiety 1
Injections and IV Therapy
Lipotropics are nutrient compounds that encourage and promote weight loss by supporting the removal of fat from the liver. They also help the body burn off extra fat for fuel and energy instead of storing it.
The Lipostat-Plus shot that we offer here at Alpha Wellness Lab is a combination of lipotropic vitamins and amino acids formulated together to help elevate your energy levels and ramp up your metabolism. The active ingredients work together to utilize fat to turn it into energy, reduce appetite, build lean muscle and promote a healthy immune system.
Vitamin B12 can help reduce weight by boosting energy levels, combating fatigue, and speeding up the body's metabolism. B12 plays a pretty big role when it comes to the body's energy levels. When B12 is low it can cause a person to feel zapped and tanked. This can be because B12 is a major component for the formation of red blood cells. Red blood cells are what carries the oxygen in the blood to the tissues of the body. When RBCs are low it can cause feelings of fatigue, diminished energy and exercise intolerance.
B12 also plays a role in the function of the body's metabolism (the process that breaks down food) because it is an important coenzyme that helps convert fat, carbohydrates and protein into energy the body can use.
IV therapy our weight-loss mix is a blend of B vitamins, including vitamin b12, amino acids and other essential vitamins and minerals that work together to support and boost the body's metabolism. This IV mix also supports your body in converting fats and carbs into the form the body can use for energy. This formulation also includes the Lipostat-Plus injection.
