Tirzepatide FAQs
TIRZEPATIDE FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
In July of 2022, a study was published describing the weight loss benefits of tirzepatide. Participants in the study lost on average over 20% of their body weight.
It is currently sold under the brand name Mounjaro. However, branded tirzepatide can be expensive, unavailable, or unable to be covered by insurance. Tirzepatide the active ingredient, is compounded with vitamin B12 at a fraction of the cost and offers the same weight loss benefit.
Key Benefits
- Participants in the study lost over 20% of their body weight.

Tirzepatide has three basic mechanisms of action:
- Tirzepatide slows down your stomach causing you to feel full longer.
- Tirzepatide increases insulin sensitivity, this makes your body more efficient at processing blood sugar
- Tirzepatide helps you leave the clean plate club! It helps patients not feel compelled to finish all the food on their plate.
