What is Titration? And Why Do We Use It?In medical terms, titration refers to the process of adjusting the dosage ofa medication based on an individual's response to treatment. Thisinvolves starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it until thedesired therapeutic effect is achieved while minimizing side effects. Dose titration is recommended with semaglutide to improve tolerability. Inother words, you give your body a little bit of time to get used to it. Startingwith a lower dose also allows healthcare providers/you to assess yourresponse to the medication and minimize the risk of adverse effects.In the case of semaglutide, you may titrate up monthly, typicallyincreasing the dose every four weeks until you reach the optimum dosagefor your body.

Storage of peptides in solution:When preparing stock solutions, it’s recommended to use dry (anhydride)organic solvents to prevent premature hydrolysis. The stability of peptidealiquots can vary, lasting from weeks to months. A widely acceptedguideline is that peptides in solution remain generally stable for 1-2 weeksat +39°F, 3-4 months at -4°F, and up to 1 year at -112°F. Understandingthese considerations is vital for researchers.We recommend storing peptides at < -4 °F or -112°F for a period longerthan 4 months.More Storage Information: https://www.slimtexasmed.clinic/post/does-tirzepatide-need-to-berefrigeratedS T O R A G E0 8https://a.co/d/3MQJdBASuggested Storage Refrigerator forPeptides, Makeup and Serums .

Are peptides supposed to be refrigerated?Peptides are generally recommended to be stored in a cool anddry environment, but refrigeration is not always necessary. Itdepends on the specific peptide and its stability characteristics.Always refer to the supplier’s guidelines for storagerecommendations.At what temperature are peptides stable?The stability of peptides varies, but they are often stable attemperatures ranging from -4°F to +39°F (-20°C to +4°C).However, this is a general guideline, and it’s crucial to check thespecific stability information provided by the supplier for eachpeptide.Can I store peptides in the freezer?Yes, peptides can be stored in the freezer, and it is a commonpractice to enhance their shelf life. Peptides are often stable forlonger periods when stored at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C).Again, check the specific storage recommendations provided bythe supplier.Are peptides heat sensitive?Peptides can be sensitive to heat, and exposure to hightemperatures may lead to degradation. It is advisable to storepeptides in a cool environment and avoid prolonged exposure toelevated temperatures. Always follow the recommended storageconditions to maintain the stability and integrity of the peptides.F A Q - S TO RA GE0 9

Now that I am at my goal weight, how am I maintaining the weight loss?I found the benefits of weight loss outweigh the idea to going off the peptide. Idecided to take the mindset of peptide tapering and holistic health. Here is what Idid:After I went off, I went back on at the lowest dose.1.I recommend tapering down until you find the lowest dose that keep you incontrol. a.Protein Shakes every day! My goal is 100g of protein a day.2.YOGA! I started online with literally 10 minutes a day. I am now a certified yogainstructor and am obsesses with yoga. (I am going to start my own yogaYouTube channel soon. Here is a great channel to start your yoga journey:https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithkassandra3.I have now incorporated weight training into my weekly routine. I am starting with2x a week and hopefully working up to 3x.4.The bottom line: Listen to your body. The goal is not to be “skinny” but to be healthy!Make sure to take good care of your body…we only have one in this lifetime. Here are more ideas to think about:Titrate down to a maintenance load of Weight Loss Peptide and/or stretch out thenumber of days between injections and keep on taking it.With the success these peptides/medications, I am sure that Pharma Companiesare working on another medication that will be taken after the weight loss goal isachieved to help maintain.Exercise: Incorporate moderate-intensity exercise into your routine and try tomake gradual lifestyle changes. You can start with walking and then add otheractivities like running, rowing, or strength training.Diet: Eat a plant-forward diet that includes lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.You can also try adding protein to meals throughout the day and eating foodsthat are high in fiber and healthy fats, like whole grains, leafy green vegetables,and avocados.Other habits: Prioritize sleep and try to get 7 to 9 hours each night. You can alsotry to manage stress and hold yourself accountable by monitoring your progress.Here is an interesting article: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/slowly-coming-off-ozempic-wegovy-may-prevent-rebound-weight-gainR E A C H E D G O A L W E I G H T ~N O W W H A T ?1 1
