Question 1

What is compounded semaglutide and how does it help with weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Compounded semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates appetite and blood sugar. It helps reduce hunger, slow digestion, and support sustainable weight loss — all backed by clinical research.

Question 2

Who is eligible for GLP-1 treatment?

Accepted Answer

You may qualify if you have a BMI of 30+ (obese), or a BMI of 27+ with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. You must be 18 or older, a U.S. resident, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients with a history of MTC, MEN 2, or pancreatitis are not eligible.

Question 3

Are your medications safe?

Accepted Answer

All American Peptides products are manufactured in FDA-registered, U.S.-based facilities under strict quality controls. Every treatment plan is supervised by a licensed healthcare provider. All GLP-1 medications carry risks — please review the Important Safety Information on our site.

Question 4

Do I need a prescription?

Accepted Answer

Yes — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide require a prescription. A licensed U.S. provider reviews your health profile and, if appropriate, writes your prescription. Not all applicants are approved.

You start on a low dose that is gradually titrated over several weeks. Our medical team monitors your progress through regular check-ins, adjusts dosage as needed, and manages any side effects.
