Weight loss injections
Weight loss injections are prescription GLP-1 medications, given as a once-weekly shot, that reduce appetite and cravings to support weight loss. MaxLife offers two: compounded Semaglutide from $89/mo and compounded Tirzepatide from $120/mo, both once weekly, with licensed provider review and no clinic visit.

Yes. GLP-1s increase fullness, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite and cravings. For men specifically, fat tends to be stored viscerally, deep around the organs, which is the type most linked to health risk, and GLP-1 treatment is effective at reducing it. Eligibility is decided by a licensed provider, and treatment pairs with training and diet rather than replacing them.
Both are once-weekly injections a provider may prescribe for adult weight management. Each is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not FDA-approved. A provider decides which fits your needs.

They mimic the GLP-1 hormone your body releases after eating: signaling fullness to the brain, slowing how fast food leaves the stomach, and lowering appetite and cravings, which many describe as quieting food noise. Tirzepatide adds a second signal, GIP, the leading explanation for its stronger results. They work best alongside diet and activity, not instead of them.
In clinical trials of FDA-approved products, semaglutide produced about 15% average body weight loss over 68 weeks, while tirzepatide achieved about 20% in certain studies. In a head-to-head clinical trial of the approved products, tirzepatide resulted in 20.2% average weight loss compared with 13.7% for semaglutide. These results are averages from clinical trials of specific FDA-approved medications, and individual results vary. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated in these clinical trials. Results from FDA-approved products should not be assumed to apply to compounded formulations. A licensed provider evaluates your individual needs and guides your treatment plan.
The injection is small, given under the skin in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, once a week, any time of day. Compounded medication comes as a vial drawn with a syringe, with supplies included.
The injectable GLP-1s have the strongest and longest track record for weight loss, once weekly is easy to keep up with, and MaxLife focuses on these injections rather than spreading across less proven formats.
Side effects are mostly gastrointestinal, such as nausea and digestive changes, usually worst when starting or increasing a dose and easing as the body adjusts. Slow titration is the standard way to limit them.
GLP-1s carry a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors seen in rodents and are contraindicated for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN2, plus rare risks like pancreatitis. Your provider reviews personal and family history at intake.
