Product Overview
Semaglutide/B12 2.5mg/mL is a compounded injectable medication that combines semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, with vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). This formulation is commonly used as part of medically supervised weight management and metabolic health programs.
By supporting appetite regulation and energy metabolism, this combination may be prescribed for:
- Chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions
- Appetite control and portion regulation
- Blood sugar support in individuals with insulin resistance or metabolic concerns
- Enhancing energy levels during weight loss programs (via B12 support)
At Angel Pharmacy, Semaglutide/B12 is compounded based on your provider’s prescription and tailored dosing requirements.
How Semaglutide/B12 Works
Semaglutide mimics the action of the natural hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.
It works by:
- Slowing gastric emptying (helping you feel full longer)
- Reducing appetite and food cravings
- Supporting improved blood glucose control
Vitamin B12 plays a supportive role by:
- Aiding energy production
- Supporting nerve function
- Helping reduce fatigue sometimes associated with reduced calorie intake
Together, this combination supports a more sustainable and comfortable weight management journey.
