How Microdosing Reduces Dizziness Reduction
Dizziness on GLP-1 medications is largely a function of dose. Clinical data confirms that side-effect severity scales with dose.
By using compounded microdoses:
- Slower GLP-1 receptor engagement: Sub-threshold dosing stimulate GLP-1 receptors more gently, minimizing the gastrointestinal disruption that causes dizziness

Recent research demonstrated patients on sub-standard semaglutide doses experienced dramatically less dizziness without sacrificing clinically meaningful weight loss.
