What Is GLP-1 and GIP?
GLP-1 and GIP is a dual-action medication that targets two hormone receptors, GLP-1 and GIP, involved in appetite regulation and metabolism:
- GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) reduces appetite, slows digestion, controls blood sugar
- GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) works alongside GLP-1 to influence appetite, food intake, and metabolic processes
This dual-receptor action has been associated with greater average weight loss than GLP-1 in clinical studies, although individual results vary.
GLP-1 and GIP vs. Mounjaro vs. Zepbound: What's the Difference?
Mounjaro® and Zepbound® contain GLP-1 and GIP as their active ingredient. Our compounded GLP-1 and GIP is prescribed with personalized physician dosing as part of a physician-supervised weight loss program.

GLP-1 and GIP vs. GLP-1. Which Is Right for You?
GLP-1
- Mechanism: GLP-1 receptor agonist
- Average weight loss: 15–20% of body weight
- Best for: Patients whose healthcare provider determines GLP-1 is appropriate for their treatment plan
- Side effect profile: Mild GI side effects common early
GLP-1 and GIP
- Mechanism: Dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist
- Average weight loss: 20–25% of body weight
- Best for: Patients whose healthcare provider determines GLP-1 and GIP is appropriate, including those who have previously used GLP-1
- Side effect profile: Similar GI profile; often well-tolerated
Our physicians will discuss your health history, goals, and previous experience with weight loss medications to recommend the best starting point for you. Many patients begin with GLP-1 and transition to GLP-1 and GIP for even greater results.
GLP-1 and GIP may also be an option for patients who have previously used GLP-1 and are discussing other treatment options with their healthcare provider.

Is GLP-1 and GIP the same as Mounjaro?
Yes, GLP-1 and GIP is the active ingredient in both Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. Our compounded GLP-1 and GIP is prescribed by our physicians and individually dosed as part of a physician-supervised treatment plan.
Is GLP-1 and GIP better than GLP-1 (Ozempic)?
Clinical studies have shown greater average weight loss with GLP-1 and GIP than GLP-1 in certain study populations. Individual results vary, and our team will help determine which treatment is appropriate for your individual health profile.
How much does GLP-1 and GIP cost?
Our GLP-1 and GIP programs start at approximately $300/month — a fraction of the brand-name Mounjaro or Zepbound cost. Flexible financing is also available.
Is compounded GLP-1 and GIP safe?
Compounded medications are prepared in FDA-registered pharmacies under strict quality standards. Your prescription is reviewed by licensed pharmacists and supervised by our physicians throughout your entire program.
Do I need to diet and exercise too?
GLP-1 and GIP works best when combined with healthy habits, but its appetite-suppressing effects make this much easier than trying to diet alone. Our team provides nutritional guidance as part of every program.
What are the side effects of GLP-1 and GIP?
The most common side effects are mild and gastrointestinal: nausea, reduced appetite, occasional constipation or diarrhea. If experienced at all, these typically improve after the first few weeks. Our gradual dose-escalation protocol is specifically designed to minimize discomfort.
