why is compounded tirzepatide banned 🚨There's been a lot of confusion lately, so let's clear this up… GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide and tirzepatide) are not entirely — but access changing. The FDA has ended COMPOUNDED TIRZEPATIDE

It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone , which affects insulin release, digestion, and hunger signals

The UK Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for protein is 0.75 grams per kilogram of body weight daily, but during weight loss, a higher intake may help preserve lean muscle mass

GLP-1 medications work by mimicking the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 , which regulates appetite and blood sugar

*After 68 weeks, participants administering once-weekly semaglutide treatment (combined with diet and exercise) experienced an average of 14.9% reduction in body weight, compared with 2.4% for the placebo
