Tirzepatide

NOW APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Weight Loss Medication
Tirezapatide Considered a weight loss "Game Changer" Approved by the FDA

The weight loss industry has been revolutionized by Tirzepatide/Mounjaro, an innovative medication that bears a close resemblance to Semaglutide as it imitates the natural hormones of GIP and GLP-1 found in the body. Tirzepatide/Mounjaro is available at a cheaper price point than other medications and has been proven to decrease appetite and enhance control of eating, thus lowering food cravings. Glycemic control has also been reported to improve. Unsurprisingly, Tirzepatide/Mounjaro has been shown to be more effective than Semaglutide in recent studies that were conducted on both diabetics and non-diabetics. The studies show that Tirzepatide led to up to 40% more weight loss than Semaglutide. The results of the studies showed an average of 21% reduction in total body weight, with some patients experiencing more than a 30% reduction. To put it into perspective, a person weighing 200 lbs could end up losing between 40 to 60 lbs.

Why Choose Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide Benefits

Tirzepatide displays a safety and tolerability profile that is comparable to other therapies approved for obesity treatment. The activation of GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors has a significant impact on reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure. The addition of a GLP-1 receptor activator results in a greater effect on optimizing glucose levels and reducing body weight. Obesity should be approached like any other chronic disease, with safe and effective methods that target the root causes. Research indicates that tirzepatide is accomplishing this, representing a milestone in expanding treatment choices for those with obesity.

On average, nine out of ten individuals with obesity experienced weight loss while using tirzepatide.

Administration & Side Effects

To take Tirzepatide, the medication is injected into either your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You should administer the injection once a week on the same day and at any time during the day. This medication is generally well-tolerated by most patients. The dosage is titrated, meaning it gradually increases, to help reduce any negative side effects. It’s essential to be cautious if you’ve had a history of certain thyroid tumors or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type2 syndrome as you may not be able to take this medication. Some side effects could occur, including nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloating, diarrhea, and lack of appetite.

How Tirzepatide Works

Tirzepatide is a breakthrough in medical science. This two-in-one molecule mimics natural hormones, paving the way for a safe yet effective solution to weight loss. Its unique feature is that it acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, unlike Semaglutide, which only targets the GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide has a greater affinity for the GIP receptor, which is believed to be more powerful. By targeting the stomach, liver, pancreas, and communication system between the brain and digestive system, Tirzepatide provides a range of benefits. It prolongs the feeling of fullness, boosts the body’s ability to use glucose as fuel, increases sensitivity to leptin for burning body fat over a more extended period, and lowers appetite. By targeting multiple pathways, Tirzepatide distinguishes itself from other weight loss medications as a fast, effective, and safe solution, making it the perfect GAME-CHANGER medication for anyone looking to lose weight.
