Yes, compounded GLP-1 is safe. It contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name medication, Wegovy, and thus shares a similar safety profile, which is especially useful when Wegovy is in short supply. Also, we only use reputable pharmacies that offer GLP-1 compounds with no sodium and no acetate.

By slowing down digestion, it helps you feel fuller longer, reduces your blood sugar by prompting the pancreas, and curbs your appetite, which collectively contributes to weight loss and improved health.

As with most medications, Semaglutide can have side effects, typically mild and most common at the start of treatment. These include nausea, vomiting, belching, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. To minimize side effects, it's recommended to use semaglutide alongside a proper diet and exercise. Some serious side effects have been observed in clinical trials, such as thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, hypoglycemia, kidney issues, and severe allergic reactions.
