The Shred is a combination of three powerful medications to get lean and break down fat while losing food cravings. Naltrexone, Lipo-Mino, and Sermorelin work synergistically for maximum benefit. This can be added to other programs especially when looking to build muscle and tone. Physician consult is mandatory to determine appropriateness.
Low dose naltrexone (1.5-4.5mg tablets), also called “LDN” may help reduce food cravings and overeating by blocking the brain’s opioid receptors, which are involved in the reward pathways of the brain. By reducing the pleasurable sensations associated with food, LDN may help people eat less and lose weight. LDN may also increase the body’s production of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving and mood-enhancing substances. Endorphins can help reduce stress and anxiety, which are common triggers for overeating and weight gain.
Lipo-Mino (sublingual spray) contains a combination of lipotropic agents, amino acids, and vitamins that help the body break down and metabolize fats, boost energy, and improve exercise performance.
Sermorelin (9mg subcutaneous injections) is a synthetic form of a hormone called growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which is naturally produced by the body to stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Growth hormone plays a crucial role in many bodily functions, including the growth and repair of tissues, muscle growth, bone density, and metabolism. Some research has suggested that growth hormone may have some potential benefits for weight loss, as it can help increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.
Bella is a compounded medication that targets weight loss from a variety of different mechanisms. Rather than addressing just one aspect, it can help with a variety. Combination tablets can be compounded based on the individual need of the patient, but always include bupropion, topiramate, naltrexone, and Vitamin B12. Physician consult is mandatory to determine appropriateness.
Naltrexone (8mg) may help reduce food cravings and overeating by blocking the brain’s opioid receptors, which are involved in the reward pathways of the brain. By reducing the pleasurable sensations associated with food, it may help people eat less and lose weight. It may also increase the body’s production of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving and mood-enhancing substances. Endorphins can help reduce stress and anxiety, which are common triggers for overeating and weight gain.
Bupropion (65mg) is a medication that works on the norepinephrine and dopamine system – natural “good-feel” hormones, and in higher doses can be very helpful for depression and certain types of anxieties. Bupropion is helpful in suppression of appetite and helps with the overall feeling of well being while giving an energy boost. Bupropion is commonly given with topiramate and is found in the brand name medication “Contrave.”
Topiramate is a common medication that has been studied for several disorders including migraine prevention, seizure control, mood stabilization, and weight loss. It’s commonly given with bupropion and is found in the brand name medication “Contrave.”
Methylcobalamin (B12) is a vitamin that has extensive data supporting weight loss and energy. It’s a natural ingredient and helps with fat burning and the feeling of well-being.
Bella can also include the following for the appropriate candidate:
Phentermine (15mg-37.5mg): Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that works by releasing a type of adrenaline from the hypothalamic area of the brain. In 2021, it was the 207th most commonly prescribed medication in the US, with over 2 million scripts given. It is very effective for appetite suppression, however some people feel it makes them overly stimulated and anxious.
Oxytocin can be used instead of phentermine for those who cannot tolerate it well. Oxytocin is a hormone that circumvents leptin resistance. Leptin is the hormone that helps us feel full, however in obesity, that sensation isn’t well intact. Oxytocin brings back its sensitivity and allows us to feel full, eat less calories, and even increase our energy expenditure.
Metformin has been heavily studies as a medication for weight loss as well in the treatment of diabetes. More recently it has been found to even increase longevity. It’s a great addition to those with insulin resistance, PCOS, or for those who just want a boost in weight loss. The dose of metformin is low, about 250mg, therefore the GI side effects that are commonly seen are not typically present.
Caffeine (20mg) can be added in the cases that oxytocin is appropriate by an interesting mechanism through the hypothalamic area of the brain. Data has shown the addition of caffeine can help with obesity. Many like the addition of caffeine as it makes them feel more awake in the morning and gives them a great start to their day without the jittery feeling that a full cup of coffee provides. Decaf version of Bella is always available!
