What is microdosing GLP-1?

Microdosing GLP-1 is the use of very small, gradual doses of compounded injectable semaglutide or tirzepatide. This approach may offer overall wellness and healthy aging benefits while potentially reducing the likelihood and severity of side effects.

Are GLP-1s only for weight loss?

No. GLP-1 medications may affect more than appetite alone, including blood sugar regulation and metabolic processes. Researchers are also studying their potential roles in other areas of health, though benefits beyond approved uses are not established for GLP-1 microdosing.

What is the difference between standard GLP-1 treatment and Microdose GLP-1?

The main difference is the dose. Standard treatment follows established dosing schedules, while Microdose GLP-1 uses lower doses. Lower doses may not provide the same results as standard treatment, and the safety and effectiveness of microdosing are not well established.

Who is this treatment recommended for?

Microdose GLP-1 may be an option for adults interested in exploring a lower-dose approach to weight management with a licensed provider. Your provider will review your health history, current medications, and goals to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

What are the possible side effects?

GLP-1 medications may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and other side effects. More serious risks are also possible. Lower doses do not guarantee fewer or milder side effects. Your provider can discuss the potential risks and help you decide whether treatment is right for you.

How much does it cost?

The cost of Microdose GLP-1 depends on your selected treatment plan. Your Shed membership and medication costs may be billed separately. Review the current pricing on our treatment page for details.
