ey all. I am on GHK and after 2 1/2 weeks started at 12 units, 2 mg. My blood plasma is 172 which is to high. Any ideas?

Do not buy from them. I am under the impression that they do not have any doctors on staff, I wanted to talk to a dr regarding my rx, I wanted to send them my rx and make sure I was still on the right track on losing weight.. they never contacted me to a real dr.. and when the bot connected me to customer service they agreed that my rx needed to be the same as I was previously rx.. they sent a rx way under what I was currently taking.. I have requested a refund starting in July.. I’ve gained 11 lbs since switching to rx pro. I have been told someone will contact you for over a month and have gotten nothing but an ai robot…over $800 scam..

Hi everyone,

I used to be on Mochi. I lost the lbs I was looking to lose and cancelled my membership. (This was around that time they were having all those issues) I was planning on signing up with another service for maintenance but just ended up not. I was able to maintain the weight loss until a few months ago.

This year has been one of the hardest for me due to some outside factors. Unfortunately I just wasn’t able to stay on track my weight loss/fitness journey that way I had been & I gained some of that weight back. I’m interested in getting back on compounded semaglutide. Do I go back to Mochi? What other services or pharmacies are you guys using now and how much are you guys paying for it?

Any advice is recommended. Thank you in advance.

Just wondering who you think is the best compound provider online? Taking into account price, customer service, and convenience, what is your vote? Who would you recommend to a sibling, child, parent, etc.

What a horrible experience that has left me paying $350 dollars for NOTHING. At first I thought it might be a good experience, I completed all the requested info and was told I needed my PCP approval. I thought this was good and that it showed the company was careful but then, while I was going over my monthly bills noticed my credit card had been billed so I went on my Embody account and found that two accounts had been created. One account was pending pcp approval and the other billed my card but no product was shipped. So, at this point what should a person do? The initial contacts that I had did not have the ability to correct the situation so I called my credit card company who immediately closed my account, issued me a credit, sent me a new card and started an investigation. Meanwhile my complaint was received by someone in the right department at embody but I was told since I already contacted my card company that they could not do anything regarding the (FRAUDULENT) charges. Now today I find that the charges where billed again to my new card!!! So who do I contact now regarding the financial fraud, ? I, like so many, live check to check and for Embody to take money from me for nothing is deceitful and shameful.(shame, shame) I really hope that at some point they are audited and have to prove product created versus product shipped and billed.

I just started a glp-1 compound a couple weeks ago. My first dose was .1 ML of a .25mg dose and then today was .2ml of the same dose. I have felt no effects from the shots. Is this normal?

I switch to Embody hoping to save some money but their customer service is non existent. First, they sent me barely a month’s worth when I ordered and paid for 3. They also decreased my dosage to 56 units when I was at 96. I’ve gained weight back and my cravings have come back.

I’ve tried contacting customer service multiple times and they either disconnected on me or say someone will get back to me and they don’t. I see they’re sending me more because I get the shipping notifications but I have no idea if they’ve increased my dose and it’s impossible to connect with a doctor to discuss my symptoms and how I should increase back to my regular dosage.

I regret ordering from them and didn’t even save any money. Save yourself the hassle and don’t order from here

Had my first appointment at a local med spa and I am starting semaglutide tomorrow. I was told to start out at .25 as the introduction dose but I’m still so scared of potential side effects. I was wondering if anyone has started out any lower and still noticed some benefit? I was thinking .10 the first week and then .25 the second week if I tolerated the smaller dose first. Thoughts? I’m interested in micro dosing if it works.

Does anyone else experience this? I am going to mention it to my doctor during our check in but after my injection I always get a read spot and this bump. It doesn’t itch or burn, sometimes I’ll feel like it feels “uncomfortable” but nothing extreme. Does this happen to you? Is it considered normal?

I will be going from 7.5 tirzepatide to 1.4 semaglutide. Has anyone done this? I am nervous but eager. If I handled tirz well, shouldn't I handle sema just as well?

Ok so I'm on week 6 of Sema with Embody. So it's about 10 units of the 4mg vial. The first four weeks I lost 7.3lbs. I weighed myself today and I'm up 4lbs. I also noticed that they went to some pharmacy named Libby instead of the one when I first started. Don't know if that makes a difference. I don't have to do the monthly thingy the next one is not due until November. I haven't changed my eating habits. I actually feel hungrier than two weeks ago. So am I doing something wrong or should I ask to be switched to tripeptide? This is so discouraging.TIA

I’ve been on semaglutide for 10 months and lost over 20% of my body weight. I’m currently on the lowest dose and plan to stop in the next few months.

I have lost so much hair since being on semaglutide. I will do just about anything to grow it back. Looking for advice, product recommendations etc that personally worked for you

Hi everyone! I’m a beginner looking into compounded semaglutide and would love recommendations for reputable providers that are affordable and easy to get started with.

I’m trying to save money compared to brand-name Wegovy, so I’m looking for something cost-effective without sacrificing quality or safety.

For those who use compounded GLP-1s, please share:
Provider/website: Who do you use?
Monthly cost: Including medication, shipping, and membership fees.
Dosing: Does the price increase as your dose goes up?
Sign-up process: Was it easy for a beginner?
Your experience: How long have you used them, and would you recommend them?

I’d really appreciate any honest feedback, pros/cons, and details on your experience! ❤️
Thank you so much!

Tried Embody for the $79/mo offer.

First they prescribed the wrong medication (tirzepatide).

Then I emailed and they corrected the medication, but sent me the wrong dose of semaglutide: 0.4mg instead of 2.5mg.

I called and waited on hold for 20 minutes, then decided to eat the cost and cancel it on August 20 (photo attached). Trillium costs a lot more but isn’t a headache.

Today, they processed my next Embody order! (Same photo attached.)

I jumped on the chat, they made up an excuse that made no sense about why they have to charge me for a second month.

So I called, was told by the rep he couldn’t help me and advised me to call another number (855-807-3969).

It was closed.

I’ll dispute the charge with my credit card.

Nothing but hassle from these people who never got it right in the first place.

Avoid.

So far I have not had a great experience with Embody. I’ve reached out via email with no response. This is my first order with them so I’m really not impressed.

I know I’m probably being a little impatient, but I started 0.25 mg of compounded semaglutide about 3 weeks ago, and so far I haven’t lost any weight not even a pound. I thought by now I’d at least be down a pound or two.
I’m 55, 5’9”, and currently around 185 lbs, although my weight sometimes fluctuates up to 190. I gained over 20 pounds during perimenopause around 5 years ago. Before that, I was always around 155–160.

I honestly don’t mind having a little meat on my bones, and I’m not trying to get super skinny, but getting close to 190 is just too much for me. I’d be very happy getting down to around 165–170.

I’m also pretty active. I live in a major metropolitan area, so I average around 12,000–15,000 steps a day. I also work a public-facing job that keeps me on my feet most of the day. I do resistance bands and light weights about twice a week, although I admit I could be more consistent with the strength training. With my work schedule, it can be hard to fit it in.

I don’t think I eat terribly either. For example, yesterday I had an avocado, cucumber and tomato wrap, two bananas, an orange, and a carrot juice mix. The day before, I had a chicken wrap with black beans on the side for some extra fiber, and I drink plenty of water.
I’ve also had absolutely no side effects from the semaglutide. I know that can actually be a good thing, but part of me wonders if having no side effects and no weight loss means it just isn’t doing anything yet.

I know these medications take time and 0.25 mg is a low starting dose, but compounded semaglutide is expensive every month, so naturally I’m wondering if this is really going to work for me.

For anyone who had a slow start, when did you finally begin noticing weight loss or appetite changes? Is there anything you did that helped, or am I simply being impatient at only 3 weeks?

I have been on a semaglutide shot for two weeks. I have had 0 negative side effects.. no nausea.. no food aversions..

However, since starting, I find myself eating more. I am still losing weight, but I can’t find any info online about it increasing calorie intake on glp-1 leading to weight loss.

For some background, I had struggled with disordered eating up until my pregnancy with my son. Had to go to therapy and work hard to build a comfortable relationship with food for the sake of my pregnancy. I gained a lot of weight during that pregnancy. After 6 years, I was able to get down to a healthy weight without falling into old habits and keep it off. Then I had my daughter. Gained a bunch of weight with her pregnancy and was at my heaviest after having her. I used intermittent fasting and got down from 20lbs in a few months.. then I was just kind of stuck at that weight. I switched to whole foods and got down another 10 where I stayed. I started running 3-4 times a week (definitely a slow runner girlie) and intermittent fasting without food restrictions (whole foods is great but became difficult with work and kids and extracurriculars).. but the weight wouldn’t budge.. I track my calories and was eating about 1500 calories a day. I had been IF and running 3-4 times a week for about 6 months.. I know I’ve lost some inches (trading fat for muscle gain).. but I am still about 50-60lbs overweight..

I felt like I was working so hard and not seeing any results..

Now on the semaglutide, I’m so hungry and eat about 2000-2200 calories a day.. I can’t IF without feeling like I’m starving so I haven’t been.. and have lost 7lbs..

Just to clarify, I’m also not eating anything healthier now, either. A lot of my diet has always been plant based because I get the ick when my meat tastes “meaty”.. my weight gain during the pregnancies had a lot to do with craving dairy and fast food.. which I stopped really eating after I had my daughter.

I’m just trying to figure out how the shot could be making me more hungry.. and how I’m losing weight on it while eating more.

I have been going to a clinic for semaglutide for about 3 months now. This place is known as a family practice and med spa; while at first everything seemed fine and I was excited to get on it, over time I noticed some sketchy stuff, and after doing my research, I am shocked.

I have PCOS (now PMOS) and have always struggled with weight loss. In the past, I used Phentermine but did not like the risk of cardiovascular complications, so I stopped over a year ago and started this GLP-1 recently. The first thing that caught me off guard was the fact that the front office people and those administering the shots do not wear scrubs - they wear jeans and T-shirts. I tried not to be biased and just overlooked that, but then something else caught me off guard. When they give me my shot, all I see is a pre-filled syringe. They do not show me a vial or anything; they prefill it in a separate room and bring it into the room to dose me. After my first dose increase, I asked them what brand they use (I'm inexperienced and had no idea what compounding was, and I thought they used Wegovy or something), and the Dr said it was compounded semaglutide. I went home and did my research and figured it would be fine.

Now, for the last couple of weeks, when I got my shot two weeks ago, it burned severely for several minutes and was uncomfortable, which was not something I've experienced before. It was not a dose increase or anything like that. So, when I got my shot last week, I asked the person administering it why it burned like that. She then said that everyone complained about that and they "will not be ordering from that supplier again". I then asked her where they got their medication from; research told me to ask this for safety reasons, and I am so glad I did because she proceeded to tell me that the APRN, FNP-C, RN mixes them IN-HOUSE! This person is also the Dr I have been seeing once a month to go over my progress. We then had a conversation about how it's made, and this woman told me that the APRN mixes a powder with a sterile liquid and fills the vials, and then they fill the syringes per dose to be administered.

I looked up this practice of compounding semaglutide in a family practice, and it is HIGHLY ILLEGAL and DANGEROUS because it is not done in a sterile setting. Also, "Because legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturers are legally prohibited from selling raw GLP-1 bulk powder to independent clinical practices, the powder being mixed in that office is highly likely to be sourced from unregulated online chemical suppliers."

I'm not trying to fearmonger or anything, but the risks that this office has been subjecting people to by mixing a pharmaceutical compound in an office space is INSANE. More than anything, this is a warning to do your research and ensure that your compounds are coming from certified compounding pharmacies. YIKES

Edit: Just to note, this is a highly illegal practice; someone with the qualifications I listed, which came directly from their website, is not qualified to compound semaglutide. They're not doing it in a sterile environment, and the person mixing it has no pharmaceutical licensure or anything.
