Clinical Overview

How GLP-1 Microdose works

A lower-dose GLP-1 approach for a softer introduction — gentle appetite control with an easy, well-tolerated ramp-up.

Gentle appetite control with fewer side effects
An easy, tolerable ramp-up for first-timers
Steady metabolic support, physician-guided
Active Biological Mechanisms
Stage 01

Lower-dose receptor activation

The same GLP-1 receptor pathway is engaged, at a dose calibrated for a gentle, tolerable introduction.

Stage 02

Metabolic and appetite benefit

Many of GLP-1's positive effects on appetite signaling and metabolism are preserved at lower doses.

Stage 03

Steady, physician-guided progress

Microdosing is reviewed individually and adjusted on a structured cadence by your physician.

Why Microdose

Why Microdose

Standard GLP-1 dosing is built for maximum weight loss; microdosing is built for everything else GLP-1s do well — appetite recalibration, metabolic improvements, and a gentler introduction — at a fraction of the dose.

01.

Gentle by design

A low, comfortable dose that eases you in — steady progress at a pace you can actually live with.

02.

Side-effect tolerability

Lower dosing typically means a quieter side-effect profile, which makes long-term adherence realistic.

03.

Physician-guided throughout

Your physician reviews progress and adjusts the protocol on a structured cadence.

Candidacy Profiling

  • Members set on steady, monitored progress over months
Clinical Exclusion
  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy
  • Active pancreatitis or untreated severe gastrointestinal disease

Clinical Safety

No medication is right for everyone.

01

Common side effects

Microdosing typically produces a quieter side-effect profile than standard GLP-1 dosing. Mild digestive changes are still possible during introduction; your physician monitors and adjusts.

02

Clinical Contraindications

Not appropriate for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Full medical history is reviewed before any prescription is authorized.

Clinical Experience

From members of the Microdose program.

  • Standard dosing made me too nauseous to function. The Microdose gave me most of the benefit and almost none of the side effects — and it was walked through with me the whole way.

    Robert H.

    Kraton Rx member · 6 months on Microdose

  • I wanted composition and steadiness, not a crash. This was the right tool — gentle, physician-guided, and easy to stay consistent with.

    Aaron P.

    Kraton Rx member · 8 months on Microdose

  • First time on a GLP-1 and I was nervous. The low-dose ramp made it easy, and having a physician review my case made it feel safe.
