Where MEDVi lost points was the fine print
Some insurers cover them for weight management, some only for type 2 diabetes, and some not at all

So, if you look at all three of the original placebo-controlled Ozempic weight loss trials, the participants started out obese, and after more than a year on the drug (when it effectively stopped working), they were still obese

CJC-1295 (NO DAC) + Ipamorelin Blend Peptide Pharmacokinetics & Metabolism Absorption & Distribution The CJC-1295 (NO DAC) + Ipamorelin blend peptide exhibits distinct pharmacokinetic profiles for each component when administered in research settings: CJC-1295 (NO DAC): Subcutaneous administration results in gradual absorption with peak plasma concentrations within 1-4 hours Half-life of approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours enables pulsatile growth hormone stimulation Distribution throughout systemic circulation with selective binding to pituitary GHRH receptors Bioavailability significantly improved compared to native GHRH due to enhanced enzymatic resistance Ipamorelin: Rapid absorption following subcutaneous administration with peak levels at approximately 40 minutes Terminal half-life of approximately 2 hours in human pharmacokinetic studies Dose-proportional pharmacokinetic parameters across studied dose ranges Volume of distribution at steady-state of 0.22 L/kg indicating limited tissue distribution When administered together, ipamorelin provides rapid-onset growth hormone pulse generation (peak at 0.67 hours) while CJC-1295 maintains elevated baseline growth hormone levels through sustained GHRH receptor activation
