Weight Loss Medications
Weight Loss
The process of losing weight and keeping it off for good can be a roller coaster. You go through many emotions as you take all the right steps, only to see the number on the scale stay the same. You may even struggle with unexplained weight gain while dieting and exercising.
We’re passionate about providing an evidence-based medical solution to your weight loss struggles. We offer GLP-1 weight loss medications to help you through this.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Semaglutide is commonly known as Ozempic or Wegovy, while Tirzepatide closely mirrors Mounjaro and Zepbound. Both of the GLP-1 weight loss medications in our catalog contain the same active ingredients as these well-known name-brand medications.
GLP-1: Decrease Your Appetite and Feel Fuller Longer
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) prompts your pancreas to produce and release insulin. This slows gastric emptying, which keeps your stomach fuller for longer. As a result, your appetite decreases, and you can more easily follow a calorie deficit.
GIP in Tirzepatide: Improved Bone Strength
The gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) in Tirzepatide offers all the same benefits as GLP-1 and more. This ingredient works to reduce gastric acid release, which ultimately slows down your digestion. It may also contribute to your bone strength.
Improving Your Quality of Life Through Weight Loss
The effects of GLP-1 and GIP can improve your quality of life. Imagine a life where you don’t have to obsess over food, feel hungry constantly, and struggle to shed extra pounds of fat. You can simply follow your diet without all of the “food noise” your brain currently experiences.
Reduce the Health Risks of Being Overweight
Being overweight or obese is correlated with worse health outcomes than remaining at a normal weight. From heart problems to type 2 diabetes to joint and mobility problems, extra weight can start to take over your life and health.
Taking GLP-1 medications, like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, may help reduce these health risks that come along with excess body fat.
Increase Your Confidence and Empower Yourself
By assisting you in losing weight efficiently and safely, these medications can kick-start your brand-new, amazing life. You no longer have to struggle on your weight loss journey. Once you start seeing the results you’ve been working so hard for, your confidence and sense of empowerment can shine through.

Weight Loss FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Semaglutide is a medication primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes but has also been found effective for weight loss. It works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, leading to reduced hunger and calorie intake. Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide can significantly reduce body weight when combined with diet and exercise.
Semaglutide functions as a GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) receptor agonist, which enhances your pancreas’s ability to produce and release insulin. This action helps slow gastric emptying, meaning your stomach stays fuller for longer, effectively decreasing your appetite and making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit. Used primarily for managing type 2 diabetes, semaglutide has also proven to be effective for weight loss by helping you feel satiated longer and reducing overall food intake.
While semaglutide is generally safe, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation. These are usually mild and tend to resolve over time. Serious side effects are uncommon; however, if you experience symptoms more severe than mild side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
Tirzepatide offers dual benefits due to its unique mechanism of action on glucose levels and appetite suppression. It has shown to not only aid in substantial weight loss but also improve several cardiovascular risk factors, such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It’s a promising option for individuals looking for an effective weight management solution.
Clients typically start seeing initial effects within a couple of weeks, with noticeable and substantial weight loss results appearing within 3 to 6 months. The timeline can vary depending on individual factors like health status and lifestyle choices. Consult with a healthcare provider at Vital Flow Infusions to personalize your treatment plan for the best outcomes.
