00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.886
We do put different additives in with our injectable medications.

2
00:00:04.886 --> 00:00:08.418
Currently, we have glycine in with tirzepatide,

3
00:00:08.418 --> 00:00:15.033
and glycine is a molecule that really helps to support muscle maintenance and not muscle

4
00:00:15.033 --> 00:00:16.233
loss.

5
00:00:16.233 --> 00:00:22.922
It's also incredibly effective at helping us build all of our different types of collagen

6
00:00:22.922 --> 00:00:23.000
in our body.

7
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.700
Collagen is made up of amino acids in certain sequences,

8
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:32.183
and glycine is actually the third in that sequence repeating of all of our types of

9
00:00:32.183 --> 00:00:33.383
collagen.

10
00:00:33.383 --> 00:00:39.197
And so it can help with obviously ligament health and cartilage and all of those things,

11
00:00:39.197 --> 00:00:41.179
but skin, hair, nails as well.

12
00:00:41.179 --> 00:00:45.000
So glycine's just a great additive that we add to that tirzepatide.

13
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:50.061
So I hope this video was helpful in educating you a little bit about some of the weight

14
00:00:50.061 --> 00:00:52.138
loss helpers that we have here in the clinic.
