Semaglutide With B12 For Weight Loss
Bellevue & Kirkland

What Is Compounded Semaglutide With B12?

Compounded semaglutide with B12 refers to when a medication is customized to fit a patient’s needs. This could mean that a compounding pharmacy creates a specific dosage that the manufacturer does not offer or they take out or add ingredients as necessary. With semaglutide, it is common to add B12 because it can help enhance results and reduce the side effects of semaglutide.

Patients using a compounded semaglutide and B12 mixture receive the same medication but with added B12. Therefore, there is virtually no difference in choosing the name brand or compounded versions of semaglutide. The compounded medication contains the same active pharmaceutical ingredients. Patients should see weight loss regardless of which they choose; however, semaglutide with B12 may help patients experience fewer overall side effects.

Benefits Of Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone is created in the intestine whenever we eat, which helps the body to digest and metabolize the food. In response, the body releases insulin. Semaglutide helps slow the process of gastric emptying which allows patients to feel fuller longer and reduce appetite.

As a weight loss medication, semaglutide also may feature benefits such as:

• Reduce food cravings
• Slow digestion
• Prevent overeating
• Helps improve glycemic control
• Encourages a reduction in sugars and simple carbs
• Suppresses appetite
• Helps improve overall metabolic health
• FDA-approved for chronic weight management
• Works quickly and efficiently
• Prevents weight loss plateaus
• Monitored by a weight loss specialist throughout treatment with monthly check-ins
• Allows patients to work on changing their lifestyle without major weight fluctuations
• Safe for long term use
• Can be delivered directly to the patient

Benefits Of B12

Vitamin B12 is a necessary vitamin that helps support red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. However, it also offers several other health benefits to the body, especially in combination with semaglutide injections. Some of the possible benefits of B12 include:

• Help improve energy levels and prevent fatigue
• Promote proper functioning of the pancreas as semaglutide lowers blood sugar and stimulates insulin
• Make it easier to exercise regularly
• Help patients burn more fat
• Can ease gastrointestinal side effects of semaglutide like nausea and constipation
• May reduce the chances of semaglutide intolerance
• Provide a slight mood boost

Losing Weight With Semaglutide With B12 Before & After 

 

Consultation

The first step in your weight loss journey with semaglutide and B12 starts with a consultation with a weight loss specialist at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery. You can choose either an in-person consultation or a virtual consultation. Regardless of choice, the consultation will proceed similarly.

First, the provider will ask you about your medical history, including your history of obesity or weight problems. They will also need to know of other medications you take and other health conditions. If the provider believes you are a good candidate, they will provide the medication which will be sent to the patient directly. If it is an in-person consultation, the provider can administer the first dose at the consultation appointment.

Injections

The most common way that patients take semaglutide is through injections. Performed by the patient at home (unless local and willing to come in weekly), semaglutide with B12 injections are injected into the upper arm, stomach, or thigh. Patients should rotate through these areas weekly. Your provider will demonstrate how to give yourself the semaglutide injections during your consultation.

Patients should aim to administer the injections on the same day every week and at roughly the same time of day. However, if a missed dose occurs and patients are within one day or so of the missed dose, it is usually okay to administer it. Your provider will address this during your consultation.

Diet Plan

Making diet changes—while not strictly required—is highly recommended to help patients see the best possible results from their semaglutide with B12 injections. The exact diet recommendations may slightly differ between patients. However, the Mediterranean diet is frequently recommended. Overall, patients can expect to make diet changes like:

• Reduce sugar and simple carbs
• Avoid processed foods
• Choose lean meat sources
• Consider reducing or cutting out red meat
• Follow a highly varied diet
• Eat a high protein diet
• Drink more water

Exercise Regimen

Like with the diet plan, following an exercise regimen is not required, but highly encouraged. Exercise is a natural way to increase the metabolism and it supports a healthier lifestyle. In general, whatever exercise you are capable of doing is a great way to start. Even if this means only short walks or swapping out the elevator for the stairs. 

Ideally, patients will add some sort of strength training to their routine. Adding muscle mass to the body naturally requires that people use up more calories per day. This can lead to quicker and more sustained weight loss over time. Examples of strength training exercises could include lifting weights, push-ups, certain forms of yoga, squats, and deadlifts.

Why Mix B12 With Semaglutide?

Beyond the basic health benefits of Vitamin B12, it can also help patients tolerate the medication better by reducing uncomfortable side effects.
