WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS: The New Medications

WHAT ARE THE PEPTIDES FOR MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS?

Peptides are small chain amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins.  Small chains are preferred over longer chain proteins due to their rapid ability to be absorbed.

Peptides are used to build muscle, enhance strength and endurance, and promote weight loss.  Peptides are used to promote sleep cycle regulation, cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory properties, and improved wound healing.

Peptides are the building block of large proteins that regulate hormones in the body and are safe when used for wellness programs such as medical weight loss programs.

Sermorelin:

is a peptide that promotes a natural increase in growth hormone in the pituitary gland.  Sermorelin increases weight loss in patients with excessive central adiposity; patients who have a poor quality of sleep.  Sermorelin is best used in patients that have clinical symptoms of low growth hormone along with Insulin-like growth factor – that is in the bottom one-third of the reference ranges.

Benefits of Sermorelin:

  • Abdominal fat reduction
  • Increased muscle development after initiating an exercise program.
  • Increase mental cognitive function.
  • Increased strength and endurance
  • Youthful and glowing skin
  • Thicker hair and nails
  • Enhanced libido and better sexual performance
  • Since Sermorelin may increase hunger in a dose-dependent fashion, weight loss providers may stack it with an appetite suppressant that would offset this increase in hunger.

Benefits of Sermorelin Therapy:

  • Injection site reactions, i.e., pain, swelling or redness.
  • Headaches
  • Flushing
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Dizziness
  • Hyperactivity
  • Sleepiness
  • Hives

Tesamorelin:

is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) peptide that may increase growth hormone and insulin growth factor 1. Tesamorelin generates greater natural production of human growth hormone, and it is currently the most effective GH-releasing hormone on the market to date.

Benefit of Tesamorelin:

  • Increases natural production of human growth hormone (HGH)
  • Increases Insulin Growth Factor 1 without altering glucose levels.
  • Reduces triglycerides.
  • Decreases visceral adipose tissue.
  • Enhances cognition in adults over the age of 60.

Tesamorelin is great for patients who have excessive central adipose fat and cardiovascular risk factors.

Common Side Effects:

  • Swelling of hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs.
  • Pain or numbness in the hands or wrists
  • Tingling, numbness, or pricking sensation.

Ipamorelin:

Stimulates the growth hormones without having an adverse effect on the blood levels of prolactin and the stress hormone cortisol in the body. Ipamorelin is one of the best and safest growth-hormone-releasing peptides available.  Recommended for patients with central adipose tissue and diminished quality of sleep.

Benefits of Ipamorelin:

  • Reduction in body fat
  • Increased muscle mass and strength
  • Improved condition of joints and ligaments
  • Increase Energy
  • Enhanced Vitality
  • Improved sleep

Common side Effects:

  • Nausea
  • Skin itching and redness.
  • Dry mouth and increased thirst
  • Mild water retention
  • Water weight gain
  • High doses cause feet to tingle.
  • Potential for insulin resistance

Is there more than one B-12?

Vitamin B-12 has many beneficial properties for your health.  B-12 promotes weight loss by increasing your metabolism and promotes loss of body fat.  Vitamin B-12 needs to be a part of the tools needed to help you lose weight.

Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin (B-12) Benefits:

  • A vitamin that assists the body in burning fats and carbohydrates.
  • Necessary for cell division and growth, hematopoiesis, and nucleoprotein and myelin synthesis.
  • Key role in protein synthesis, neural metabolism, DNA and RNA production, as well as fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of B-12 in its oral formulation it is 1.2% is absorbed when orally administered.

  • Side effects of Cyanocobalamin (B-12):
    • Diarrhea
    • Feeling of entire body is swollen
    • Common cold symptoms (nasal spray or injection form)
    • Headache (injection form)
    • Feeling of body being swollen (injection form)
    • Weakness (injection form)

Methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form of B-12 that is administered via IV infusion and has a higher absorption into the body than cyanocobalamin when administered in an IV infusion.

Both cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin formulations of B-12 are effective in replacing B-12 in the body.

  • Side effects of Methylcobalamin (B-12):
    • Nausea
    • Vomiting
    • Diarrhea
    • Loss of appetite
    • Headache

Hydroxocobalamin (B-12)

is a synthetic form of vitamin B-12.  Hydroxocobalamin is also used for weight loss and has the same weight loss effects of increasing body metabolism and promoting the loss of body fat.

  • Side effects of Hydroxocobalamin (B-12)
    • Pain, swelling, or itchy skin where you had the injection. These symptoms are usually mild and should only last a few hours. ...
    • Feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting) Stick to simple meals and avoid rich or spicy food.
    • Diarrhea
    • Headaches
    • Dizziness
    • Hot Flashes

NOTE:  All forms of vitamin B-12 are equal in promoting weight loss through increased metabolism and enhanced body fat loss.

Just what are Lipotropic Injections?

Lipotropic injections, aka Lipo injections are a mixture of amino acids, mineral and various vitamins that aid in weight loss, healthy liver function and the promotion of optimum health.

Lipotropics are comprised of vitamin B12 base and amino acids that mobilize fat and Increase metabolism.  The amino acids, methionine, inositol, and choline mobilize fat in the following ways:

  • Methionine assists the liver process fats reducing fat build up in the liver which helps to ensure proper functioning of the liver.
  • Inositol is part of the vitamin B complex and aids in the metabolism of fat, reduces cholesterol levels within the blood and helps to convert food into energy.
  • Choline is like the B vitamins and is necessary for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Choline helps inhibit cholesterol and fat build-up in the arteries and liver.

Other amino acids such as L-carnitine and Adenosine promote the increase in metabolism by converting fat into usable energy.  Combined with B-12 increases the metabolic rate allowing your body efficiently convert food into energy without storing consumed food into stored fat.

Lipotropic injections are supplements used for fat loss, and are intended to augment other weight loss regimens, including weight loss medications, exercise, and diet.

Side effects, though rare, of Lipotropic Injections are:

  • Pain at the injection site.
  • Headaches
  • Upset stomach.
  • Nausea

  • Allergic reactions (itching, swelling, hives, etc.)

Different formulations of Lipotropic Injections:

Libo B/MIC injections contain a vitamin B complex base with Vitamin B-12 for increased metabolism of fate and protein as well  as increased energy.  Other components are Methionine, Choline, and Inositol. Lipo B/MIC shots also enhance general overall health.

Proper Diet and Physical Exercise

The Proper Diet:

A safe and effective long-term weight-loss diet must contain balanced, nutritious foods to avoid vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition. A healthy diet should:

  • Be high in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables
  • Contain lean meat, fish or vegetable protein
  • Be low in sweets, fats, and fried foods
  • Include whole grains and high fiber
  • Eliminate consumption of fast food

Adopting good eating habits is essential in achieving a healthy weight.

Physical Activity:

Regular exercise is an important part of a healthy life. Physical activity and exercise help to burn calories. The number of calories burned depends on the type, duration, and intensity of the activity. Treating obesity with exercise is most effective when combined with a healthy diet since exercise alone will have a limited effect on weight loss. Recommendations for healthy exercise habits include getting 30 minutes of moderate exercise 5 to 7 days a week.

Counseling or Psychotherapy

In many cases, talking with a counselor is helpful to a patient suffering from obesity, almost always in combination with other methods of weight loss. Most people who are obese have psychological issues around food and may have a family history which has predisposed them to eating when they are under stress. While diet and exercise must always be included in weight loss treatment, talking to a trained professional can also be of help.
