A physician-supervised low-dose GLP-1 protocol for eligible patients focused on metabolic support rather than weight loss titration.
GLP-1 microdosing uses lower, precision-calibrated doses of GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 medications to provide gentle appetite control and metabolic support. It allows your body to adjust gradually, reducing potential side effects while still delivering meaningful results.
Microdosing is ideal for patients new to peptide therapy, those sensitive to medications, or anyone who prefers a gentler, more gradual approach to weight management. It is also a great option for individuals focused on metabolic wellness rather than aggressive weight loss.
Microdose Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors for dual-action metabolic support, while microdose Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor alone. Both are effective; your provider will help determine which is the best fit based on your health profile and goals.
Both microdose Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are administered as once-weekly subcutaneous injections. Your treatment kit includes pre-measured syringes and detailed instructions. Most patients find the process quick and straightforward.
Because microdosing uses lower doses, side effects are typically milder than standard protocols. Some patients may experience mild nausea or decreased appetite, especially during the first few weeks. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust dosing as needed.
Most patients begin to notice changes in appetite and energy within the first few weeks. Visible weight management results typically develop over 2 to 3 months as your body adjusts to the therapy. Consistency and lifestyle factors play an important role.
Compounded microdose medications are typically not covered by insurance. However, ASTRA offers competitive pricing and flexible payment options through Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, PayPal, and FSA/HSA to make treatment accessible.
Yes. Many patients start with microdosing and transition to standard dosing as their body adjusts. Your provider will work with you to determine the right timing and dosing adjustments based on your progress and goals.
