Skinny Q Injection

Compounded GLP-1 agonist/B12

The Skinny Q injection is a modified molecule our bodies make, called a GLP-1 analog. It works by increasing insulin production and lowers glucagon secretion as well as targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which lasts minutes.

How Does the Skinny Q injection Work?
GLP-1 antagonist/B12 acts in the following ways:

• Delays how quickly our stomachs digest food. Leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
• Slows intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.
• Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
• Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.
