✨ Why We Compound Tirzepatide With Glycine (Not B Vitamins) ✨
At IYKYK Aesthetics, we’re intentional about every ingredient we choose — especially when it comes to your weight-loss medications. One of the most common questions we get is:

“Why is my tirzepatide compounded with glycine instead of B vitamins?”

Here’s the simple answer:
➡️ Rapid weight loss can put you at risk for muscle loss… and glycine helps protect your lean muscle.
Let’s break down how it works 👇

---

💪 Glycine’s Role in Protecting Muscle During Weight Loss

When your body loses weight quickly, it doesn’t just burn fat — it may break down muscle tissue for energy. This is something we want to prevent, because muscle is crucial for:

• A healthy metabolism
• Maintaining your strength and energy
• Long-term weight management
• Overall body composition and tone

Glycine is a foundational amino acid that helps keep your muscle tissue strong while you're losing fat.

Here’s how:

🔹 1. Supports Collagen & Connective Tissue
Glycine is one of the three main amino acids that build collagen — which is essential for healthy muscles, joints, and connective tissue. Stronger connective tissue means your muscles stay supported during rapid fat loss.

🔹 2. Helps Reduce Muscle Breakdown (Anti-Catabolic)
Glycine has been shown to reduce the breakdown of muscle proteins by calming inflammatory pathways and supporting better recovery. This means your body is less likely to use muscle as fuel.

🔹 3. Improves Glucose Management & Insulin Sensitivity
Better blood-sugar control allows your body to burn fat more efficiently instead of dipping into muscle stores for energy. Glycine naturally supports these pathways — and when combined with tirzepatide, the benefits stack beautifully.

🔹 4. Supports Better Sleep (Which = Better Muscle Retention)
Glycine helps promote deeper, restorative sleep. And since muscle repair happens at night, better sleep means better preservation of lean muscle.

🌿 Why Not B Vitamins?

B12 and other B vitamins are fantastic for energy, but they don’t protect muscle tissue during rapid weight loss the way glycine does.
Many patients already get B vitamins from their diet or supplements, but glycine provides a targeted benefit exactly where tirzepatide users need it most: maintaining muscle integrity.

---

✨ The Bottom Line

We chose glycine because:
✔ It protects lean muscle
✔ Supports body composition
✔ Enhances metabolic health
✔ Complements tirzepatide’s mechanism beautifully

At IYKYK Aesthetics, our goal is not just weight loss — it’s healthy, sustainable, body-composition-friendly weight loss.

If you’re ready to start your journey with a science-backed plan that protects your muscle and your metabolism, we’re here to help. 💚

Big question of the week: What Lipo-Mino Is?

A lipotropic + metabolism support injection.
It combines fat-burning amino acids, energy-boosting vitamins, and appetite-support ingredients.

It is not a stimulant and not a GLP-1.
It is safe for weekly use and pairs well with GLP-1 programs.

⸻

🧪 What’s Inside Lipo-Mino

Typical formula (varies slightly by compounder):

1. Lipotropics (Fat-Burning Agents)

These help your liver break down fat more efficiently.
• Methionine – helps process and eliminate fat
• Inositol – improves fat metabolism
• Choline – supports liver function + cholesterol regulation

2. Amino Acids

Support metabolism, lean muscle, and endurance.
• L-Carnitine – helps move stored fat into cells to be burned for energy
• L-Arginine – supports blood flow, performance, and fat breakdown

3. B-Complex

For energy, mood, and stamina.
• B12 (Methylcobalamin) – boosts natural energy
• B6 – supports metabolism and hormone regulation

4. Appetitie + Mood Support
• L-Ornithine – reduces fatigue, supports sleep and recovery
• Sometimes Chromium – helps stabilize blood sugar

⸻

🔥 What It Does

✔ Boosts metabolic rate
✔ Increases natural energy
✔ Supports fat burning especially with GLP-1s
✔ Improves recovery + workout stamina
✔ Helps regulate appetite and cravings
✔ Enhances mood and focus

Most clients notice:
• Better energy within 1–3 hours
• Appetite suppression over 4–6 weeks
• Better fat loss results over 8–12 weeks

⸻

💉 How Often to Take It

Most clinics (including your own peers):
• Weekly injections (1 mL IM)
• Some do biweekly if very sensitive to B vitamins
• Great to pair with:
• GLP-1 (semaglutide/tirzepatide)
• NAD+
• B12

⸻

🛑 Side Effects (Rare)
• Mild soreness at injection site
• Vitamin-flush warmth
• Slight nausea if taken on empty stomach
• Headache if taken when dehydrated

✨ How GLP-1s Can Help With PCOS ✨

If you’ve been hearing about GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) and wondering how they might help with PCOS — here’s the scoop 💡

GLP-1s are peptides — messenger molecules that help your body manage insulin, appetite, and metabolism.
Since PCOS is closely linked to insulin resistance, weight gain, and hormonal imbalance, these medications can help address the root causes rather than just the symptoms.

Here’s how they can make a difference:
💖 Improve insulin sensitivity — helping your body use sugar more effectively and reduce insulin spikes that worsen PCOS symptoms.
⚖️ Support healthy weight loss — GLP-1s slow digestion and curb cravings, making it easier to lose and maintain weight.
🌸 Balance hormones — by improving insulin resistance and reducing inflammation, GLP-1s can indirectly help regulate cycles and lower androgen (testosterone) levels.
💆‍♀️ Boost energy + mood — many patients notice more stable energy levels and fewer mood swings as blood sugar becomes balanced.

And just a little personal note — PCOS is close to my heart💕
That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others find real, science-backed solutions that make daily life (and hormone balance!) a whole lot easier.

GLP-1s can be a powerful tool to help your body get back into rhythm — and I’d love to help you explore whether they’re right for you. 🌿

✨ BIG NEWS, HAMILTON — Compounded GLP-1s Are BACK at IYKYK Aesthetics ✨

You asked… a lot 😅
And we listened.

After months of supply chain delays, pharmacy backorders, and unreliable national distributors, we’re finally able to offer compounded GLP-1 medications again — safely, legally, and through our verified 503A compounding partners.

Here’s why we’re bringing them back (and why we paused in the first place):

💉 1. Safety comes first — always.
When the national GLP-1 shortage hit, a lot of clinics kept pushing whatever they could get their hands on.
We didn’t.
We pressed pause until we had guaranteed quality, sourcing transparency, and fully credentialed pharmacies we trust with our own families.

🧪 2. We secured verified, tested, and consistently dosed medication.
Our compounding partners provide:
• third-party batch testing
• sterile processing
• strict potency verification
• clean, stable formulations
Because your health (and your results) deserve more than mystery-sourced meds.

📦 3. Stable supply = less stress for you.
No more “will my dose ship?” emergencies.
No more inconsistent availability.
We have reliable inventory again — which means you can stay on track with your weight-loss plan.

👩‍⚕️ 4. Medical oversight actually matters.
Your GLP-1 journey at IYKYK includes:
• progress check-ins
• dose-adjustment support
• side-effect management
• realistic nutrition and wellness guidance
We don’t just hand you a syringe and wish you luck.

🔥 5. Because our clients see real, sustainable results when supported the right way.
Not the crash-diet vibe.
Not the “drop 15 lbs then panic” vibe.
We focus on safe, steady, long-term change — with a plan that fits your life, your night-shift schedule, your stress, your cravings… all of it.

⸻

If you’ve been waiting for GLP-1 options to return — they’re here, stronger and safer than ever.

✨ What Are Peptides (and Why GLP-1s Count!) ✨

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same building blocks that make up proteins — but they’re smaller and way more targeted.

Think of them as cellular text messages 📱💬
They tell your cells what to do, when to do it, and how strong to go.

In wellness and functional medicine, peptides help your body get back in sync — improving things like:
💪 Energy + metabolism
💆‍♀️ Mood + aging
🔥 Fat burning + recovery

And here’s the cool part 👉 GLP-1s (like semaglutide & tirzepatide) are actually peptides too!
They’re special messenger molecules that tell your body to manage blood sugar and appetite more efficiently — helping you feel fuller, longer, and burn fat smarter.

So next time you hear “peptide therapy,” know you’re talking about powerful little messengers that can make a big difference in how you look and feel. 🌟
