When using Bio-Active GLP products for weight loss or metabolic support, increasing the dose should be based on tolerance, effectiveness, and side effects. Below is a general guideline on when to move up to the next dose.
1. Tolerance to the Current Dose
Before increasing the dose, you should feel comfortable with the current dose for at least 4 weeks without severe side effects. If you're still experiencing persistent nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal issues, it may be best to stay at the current dose longer.
2. Weight Loss Progress & Appetite Control
If after 4 weeks you notice that:
✅ Your appetite is still well-controlled but weight loss has plateaued, moving up in dose can enhance results.
✅ Your hunger has increased, or you’re experiencing stronger cravings, an increased dose may help sustain appetite suppression.
✅ You are still experiencing steady weight loss and appetite control, you may not need to increase and can continue at the current dose.
3. Managing Side Effects
Mild nausea and digestive discomfort are common in the first 1-2 weeks after a dose adjustment. However, if side effects are severe or long-lasting, it’s best to stay at your current dose longer before increasing.
4. Recommended Dose Escalation Schedule (General Guide)
Most GLP-based weight loss products follow a gradual dose increase to minimize side effects. A common dosing schedule looks like this:
Weeks
Suggested Dose
Week 1-4
Starting Dose (e.g., 0.25 mg or lowest recommended dose)
Week 5-8
Increase to next step if well tolerated (e.g., 0.5 mg)
Week 9-12
Move to higher dose if still tolerable and additional weight loss is needed
Maintenance
Stay at effective dose long-term
5. When to Stay on the Current Dose
🔹 If weight loss is steady and appetite is controlled, you may not need to increase.
🔹 If side effects persist, wait another 2-4 weeks before adjusting.
🔹 If you’re happy with results and feel comfortable, no need to move up.
