GLP-1 Sterile Injections
GLP-1 therapy is an effective treatment for obesity. In America, approximately 42% of adults have obesity, and more than one in ten adults have severe obesity. In the United States it is an epidemic. Obesity is linked to numerous chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. At Haven Rx we feel that GLP-1 agents can help combat this epidemic and help patients achieve their healthcare goals.
Vitamin B12
At HavenRx we feel that vitamin B12 is important and clinically relevant for patients that are treated with GLP-1 agents due to the known decreased vitamin B12 absorption with patients on GLP-1 therapy.
However, we also feel that not much is needed. We are not treating a deficiency we are preventing one.

Our take on preferring adding B12 over adding GLYCINE to a GLP1 compound
B12 gives us energy it's absorption is also impaired when somepone has slowed down their gastric motility with GLP1 therapy. We add a small amount to help prevent any deficiency that might occur. It also has a mechanical benefit not often discussed. It helps patients see their dose easier. This is due to the natural pink to red color of vitamin B12. This helps insure corrrect dosing. We feel this is important.
Glycine is a very typical addition to GLP1 therapy. It is usually added to prevent muscle wasting from the GLP1 therapy. Muscle wasting is a valid concern for patients on GLP1 therapy. The doses given subcutaneously are much lower than what is needed to perform this action.
If you do wish to add glycine to prevent muscle wasting we recommend coupling it with weight bearing exercise and a higher protein diet. And that you also purchase oral glycine from a reputable manufacturer to add to your glycine intake. It has been known to cause some drowsiness at therapeutic doses and may help some patients that are needing a good night's sleep. It is sweet and can be added as a mild sugar substitute to your favorite herbal tea.
And if you would also prefer adding both, we can do that too!
