Tirzepatide and MIC/B12 Injections

Enjoy Faster, Healthier Weight Loss With Our Team’s Support

You’re probably familiar with injectable weight loss medications by now. These revolutionary treatments, including tirzepatide, were originally developed for type 2 diabetes and have a powerful effect on appetite and metabolism. Many online pharmacies are making them available to almost anyone. However, getting the best results from medications like tirzepatide requires the support of a knowledgeable weight management team, including boosts from MIC/B12 injections.

What are Tirzepatide and MIC/B12 Injections?

Dr. Tenley Lawton and her team always strive to provide you with the best support and education available. Tirzepatide is a powerful medication, so we want you to understand what it does and how MIC/B12 injections can enhance its results.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide, which is sold under a few brand names, can also be compounded in specialized pharmacies that ensure you never have to worry about getting your medication. This compounded tirzepatide is exactly as effective as the brand names.

Tirzepatide, like another medication called semaglutide, mimics the activity of a peptide called GLP 1 that conveys information about fullness, hunger, stomach emptying, and much more. Unlike semaglutide, it also works on another peptide called GIP that also affects hunger and metabolism, making tirzepatide more effective for most people.

MIC/B12 Injections

We want to give you every advantage in your weight loss efforts, so we offer MIC/B12 injections, sometimes known as “skinny shots,” into our program or offer them alone. MIC stands for:

  • methionine, a vital amino acid that helps the liver break down fat
  • inositol, a natural sugar alcohol found in healthy foods that supports metabolism
  • choline, an essential nutrient for almost all functions, including your liver and brain

B12 plays a wide range of roles in your body. As part of these injections, it boosts energy levels and helps your body burn fats and carbs more efficiently. It also boosts stamina and red blood cell production, as well as maintains healthy nerves and the brain.

How Do Tirzepatide and MIC/B12 Injections Work?

When injected, medications like tirzepatide travel to receptors in your brain that are waiting for signals from GLP-1 or GIP about how hungry or full you are, whether you should eat, and how fast your metabolism should work. The medication activates these receptors, telling your brain you have less interest in eating.

Because tirzepatide lowers your desire to eat, people eat fewer calories without the struggle of trying to diet. However, you will see your best results from any weight loss program if you combine it with behavioral and nutritional education as well as physical activity.

MIC/B12 injections can play an important role here by helping you feel energized and have more stamina, making physical activity easier and more enjoyable. It can also help provide nutrients you may be low on due to eating less.

Am I a Candidate for Tirzepatide and MIC/B12 Injections?

While MIC/B12 shots are safe for nearly everyone, tirzepatide may not be right for people with certain medical conditions. However, most healthy adults with excess weight are good candidates. You should not use this medication if:

  • You have type 1 diabetes
  • You have a history of pancreatitis or certain gallbladder problems
  • You have a personal or family history of certain cancers
  • You have certain other medical conditions or disorders

We recommend a consultation so we can determine whether these medications are safe for you and can help you lose weight in a healthy way.
