## Treatments

### Weight Loss — GLP-1 Programs

- [Semaglutide](https://www.tryyucca.com/semaglutide): Compounded Semaglutide + Vitamin B12. Weekly subcutaneous injection. Mimics the GLP-1 hormone to reduce hunger, slow digestion, and promote sustainable weight loss. Clinical reference: average 14.9% body weight loss at 68 weeks (STEP 1 trial); real-world data shows average 10.9% at 6 months. Titration: 0.25 mg → 2.5 mg over 6 months. Pricing: $275/mo (first order $175) · 3-month $765 (first order $495) · 6-month $1,235 (first order $875).
- [Tirzepatide](https://www.tryyucca.com/tirzepatide): Compounded Tirzepatide. Weekly subcutaneous injection. Activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors — stronger appetite suppression and insulin efficiency. Clinical reference: average 15% to 19.5% body weight loss over 72 weeks, depending on dose (SURMOUNT-1 trial). Titration: 2.5 mg → 15 mg over 6 months. Pricing: $385/mo (first order $285) · 3-month $1,065 (first order $795) · 6-month $1,950 (first order $1,550).

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide: Both medications are effective and clinically proven. Many patients find Tirzepatide delivers stronger, faster results, while Semaglutide offers steady, consistent progress. The best choice depends on the patient's goals, body response, and provider recommendation.

### Anti-Aging

- [NAD+](https://www.tryyucca.com/nad): Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. 100 mg/mL injection (1,000 mg vial). A vital, natural coenzyme essential for energy production, DNA repair, and healthy mitochondrial function. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. May support steadier energy, improved mental clarity, healthier cellular function, and better metabolism. Pricing: $215/mo · 3-month $575 (~$192/mo). For individuals dealing with fatigue, low energy, brain fog, or those wanting to support long-term cellular health.

### Muscle Recovery

- [Sermorelin](https://www.tryyucca.com/sermorelin): Daily peptide injection (3 mg/mL). Stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone naturally. May support natural growth hormone production, healthier daily energy, lean muscle, metabolic balance, and better sleep and recovery. Pricing: $199/mo · 3-month $575 (~$192/mo). For individuals noticing signs of natural growth hormone decline such as fatigue, slower recovery, weaker muscle strength, or poorer sleep.

## Clinical & Compliance

- GLP-1 Science: GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a natural hormone released after eating. It regulates blood sugar, slows digestion, and signals fullness. Semaglutide mimics GLP-1. Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) pathways. Most effective alongside healthy nutrition, physical activity, and provider-guided care. Results vary based on dose, treatment duration, adherence, and individual health factors.
- Compounded Medications: Prepared using the same active ingredients as FDA-approved drugs. Produced in 503A compounding pharmacies regulated by the State Board of Pharmacy. NOT FDA-approved. Clinically aligned with the same mechanisms and outcomes demonstrated in GLP-1 studies. Prescribed only after licensed provider review. Used when brand-name medications are in limited supply or when personalized dosing is needed.
- GLP-1 Eligibility: BMI 30+ (general population eligible) · BMI 27+ with at least one weight-related condition (Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, fatty-liver disease, joint pain or mobility issues) · BMI 25+ subject to provider approval based on medical history.
- Injection & Dosing: Subcutaneous injection (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm — rotate weekly). GLP-1 once weekly on the same day each week. Sermorelin daily. Can be taken with or without food. Doses increase every 4 weeks only if well tolerated. Goal is the lowest effective dose.
- Common Side Effects (usually short-term): Nausea, vomiting or indigestion, fatigue, constipation or diarrhea, headache, acid reflux. Management: eat smaller frequent meals, avoid greasy foods, choose lighter foods, add fiber, stay hydrated.
- Package includes: Personalized medication vial, sterile syringes (single-use), alcohol swabs, instructions sheet with dosing and storage, insulated packaging with cold pack.
- Storage: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Do not freeze. Stays fully potent up to 21 days at 89.6°F (32°C). Pink tint is normal (from Vitamin B12). Clear liquid. Shipping: UPS 2-Day Air with tracking.
