This amazing compound is injected once a week with a small, thin needle,, usually in the belly fat. It works by slowing down digestion, helping you stay full for longer thereby reducing cravings and overeating. It also works on the liver & pancreas to better regulate your blood sugar, which is why it is also used in diabetes.

- NAD+ for weight loss: NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule that plays a key role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signaling in the body. It is involved in many biological processes, including converting food into energy and regulating the body’s circadian rhythm. NAD+ may help to boost metabolism by increasing the activity of certain enzymes involved in energy production. This could lead to an increase in calorie burning, a reduction in fat storage and helps reduce inflammation in the body.
- Hormone replacement for weight Loss: Low testosterone not only increases weight gain and makes it harder to lose weight, but it also triggers a vicious cycle. This hormonal imbalance leads to an increase in body fat, which impairs the body’s ability to produce and utilize testosterone effectively, leading to even lower levels. To break this cycle, it is essential to correct the testosterone deficiency. Testosterone therapy, when combined with moderate exercise, can lead to significant weight loss in men and women with lower-than-normal levels. Correcting the testosterone levels can help maintain lean mass while shedding body fat. Normalized testosterone levels can also increase metabolism, leading to more calorie burn and better fat distribution.
