Regulate appetite and reduce body fat

Compounded semaglutide is a prescription medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes. It mimics a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate blood sugar, slows down digestion, and reduces hunger. When used for weight loss, compounded semaglutide helps you feel fuller longer, eat less, and lose weight steadily over time. At Invigue, our providers use compounded semaglutide as part of a treatment plan to help you achieve lasting results safely and effectively under expert medical supervision.

Benefits of compounded semaglutide:

  • Promotes steady and sustainable weight loss
  • Reduces appetite and food cravings naturally
  • Helps you feel fuller for longer after meals
  • Supports healthy blood sugar and insulin levels
  • Lowers the risk of obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes
  • Personalized dosing and care from experienced providers
  • Complements a healthy lifestyle and long-term wellness goals

Your compounded semaglutide experience

Your compounded semaglutide journey begins with a personalized consultation to assess your health, goals, and suitability for treatment. If you’re a good candidate, our licensed providers will administer your compounded semaglutide injections in-office on a weekly basis. You’ll receive expert care, ongoing support, and regular check-ins to monitor your progress and adjust your dosage as needed, ensuring a safe and effective experience every step of the way.

While most people tolerate compounded semaglutide well, some experience mild side effects like nausea, constipation, or fatigue, especially in the first few weeks. These symptoms often improve as your body adjusts to the changes. With consistent use, many patients lose an average of 1-2 pounds per week, leading to 10-20% total body weight loss over several months.

Who is a good candidate for compounded semaglutide?

You may be a candidate if you have a BMI of 27 or higher and struggle with weight-related health issues, or if your BMI is 30 or higher without other conditions. Our team will evaluate your history and lifestyle to determine if compounded semaglutide is suitable for you.

How does compounded semaglutide work?

Overview

Compounded semaglutide is a breakthrough medication that helps support weight loss by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating hunger, digestion, and blood sugar levels. By acting like GLP-1, compounded semaglutide helps reset how your body responds to food, making it easier to lose weight and keep it off.

Suppressing appetite

One of compounded semaglutide’s most powerful effects is its ability to reduce appetite. It works directly on areas of your brain that regulate hunger and satiety, helping you feel full with smaller portions. You’ll notice fewer food cravings and feel more satisfied after eating, which makes it easier to make healthier food choices without feeling deprived.

Slowing gastric emptying

Compounded semaglutide also slows down how quickly food moves through your stomach. This process, called gastric emptying, helps extend the feeling of fullness after meals. By keeping food in your stomach longer, compounded semaglutide helps reduce the urge to snack or overeat, supporting consistent calorie reduction and steady, manageable weight loss.

Compounded Semaglutide FAQs

How long does it take to see results with compounded semaglutide?

You may begin noticing subtle weight loss within the first few weeks, especially if you’re also making healthy lifestyle changes. However, meaningful results typically appear after the first month. Most patients experience steady, consistent weight loss, typically 1-2 pounds per week, when compounded semaglutide is combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and medical supervision.

Do I have to follow a strict diet while on compounded semaglutide?

While there’s no “strict” diet required, you’ll achieve the best results by adopting healthier eating habits. Compounded semaglutide reduces hunger and cravings, making it easier to control portions and avoid overeating. Our team will work with you to develop a sustainable nutrition plan that supports your weight loss and overall wellness.

Can I stop taking compounded semaglutide once I reach my goal weight?

Once you reach your goal, your provider may gradually reduce your dose or guide you through a maintenance plan to help you stay on track. However, stopping abruptly may lead to weight regain. We’ll help you transition safely while supporting long-term habits that keep weight off.
