Protocol Pack

arq Recomp

Semaglutide (Rx injectable) + Berberine 500mg + Chromium Picolinate 200mcg + Psyllium Husk 5g

Medically supervised body composition transformation. GLP-1 receptor agonist for appetite regulation, combined with three metabolic support compounds that enhance insulin sensitivity, stabilize blood sugar, and support gut health.

Quick Answer

arq Recomp is the body recomposition pack that combines metabolic optimization (GLP-1 agonist if indicated), hormone balancing, and nutrition protocols to simultaneously lose fat and build muscle. It uses semaglutide (appetite suppression + metabolic rate), berberine (insulin sensitivity), chromium (glucose stability), and psyllium (satiety), designed from your metabolic bloodwork for sustainable fat loss with muscle preservation.

Stack composition

What's in the pack

arq Recomp combines the most potent appetite-regulatory pharmaceutical with three metabolic enhancers. Semaglutide reduces hunger via GLP-1 signaling. Berberine activates AMPK for metabolic support. Chromium improves insulin sensitivity. Psyllium feeds the microbiome and slows glucose absorption.

Semaglutide (Rx)

The appetite regulator. GLP-1 receptor agonist that signals fullness and reduces caloric intake. Reduces body weight 15-25% in trials. Requires weekly injection and medical monitoring.

Berberine 500mg

The metabolic amplifier. Nature's metformin—activates AMPK for improved insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization. Complements Semaglutide's effects.

Chromium Picolinate 200mcg

The insulin optimiser. Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Reduces cravings and supports lean muscle preservation during weight loss.

Psyllium Husk 5g

The microbiome feeder. Soluble fiber that slows glucose absorption and feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Improves satiety and supports metabolic health.

Composition

Pack Components

Component	Dosage	Metabolic Role	Targets
Semaglutide (Rx)	0.5–2.4mg weekly	GLP-1 agonist, appetite suppression, metabolic rate	Body fat, weight loss
Berberine	500mg BID	AMPK activation, insulin sensitivity	HbA1c, glucose tolerance
Chromium Picolinate	200mcg daily	Glucose homeostasis, carb cravings	Fasting glucose, insulin levels
Psyllium Husk	5g daily	Satiety, gut health, fiber	Appetite, lipid profile

Synergy

Why this combination

Semaglutide is the appetite suppressor. Berberine activates AMPK for metabolic support. Chromium optimises insulin sensitivity. Psyllium stabilises blood sugar and feeds the microbiome. Together, this addresses body recomposition from multiple angles: appetite control, insulin sensitivity, metabolic activation, and gut health.

Pharmacokinetics

Molecular bioavailability

Compound	Tmax / Route	Half-life	Bioavailability	Metabolism
Testosterone	24-48h (IM)	8 days	100% IM	Aromatized → Estradiol
Semaglutide	24-56h (SC)	168h (7 days)	~89% SC	Minimal CYP involvement
Metformin	2.5h	6.2h	50-60%	No CYP, renal excretion
L-Carnitine	3h	15h	5-18% oral	Active transport, renal

Note: Bioavailability varies with food state and route. IM = intramuscular, SC = subcutaneous. All compounds show acceptable oral absorption except testosterone which is esterified for IM delivery.

Protocol dosing

Administration schedule

💉

Testosterone (Cypionate)

100-200mg per week
IM injection, same day each week. Start low (100mg), assess response, titrate to 200mg if needed. Monitor hematocrit, PSA, lipid panel every 3 months.

Weekly

💊

Semaglutide (GLP-1)

0.25mg → 0.5mg → 1mg weekly
SC injection. Titrate slowly: 0.25mg × 4 weeks → 0.5mg × 4 weeks → 1mg maintenance. GI adaptation improves week 2-3.

Titrate slowly

🔵

Metformin

500mg at dinner
Take with food to minimize GI upset. Synergizes with semaglutide on glucose metabolism. Monitor renal function annually.

Daily

🟡

L-Carnitine

2g AM, pre-workout
Take on empty stomach for absorption. Supports mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. Well tolerated; fishy odor reversible.

Clinical Evidence

Peer-reviewed studies

2001 JCEM PMID: 11701431

Bhasin et al. — Testosterone dose-response in hypogonadal men

Linear dose-response: 100-600mg/week increases lean mass 3.2-8.8kg, fat loss 2.4-6.0kg. Dose >300mg/week shows DHT conversion. Foundation for modern TRT protocols.

RCT

2021 NEJM PMID: 33567185

Wilding et al. — STEP 1 trial: Semaglutide 1mg weekly for weight loss

15.3% body weight reduction vs 2.6% placebo (p<0.001). Consistent efficacy across BMI ranges. Nausea 44%, improves by week 4. Peak weight loss month 6-12.

RCT

2011 Diabetes PMID: 21270328

Slentz et al. — Metformin + exercise interaction on metabolic health

Metformin (500-1000mg) reduces diabetes incidence 31% in prediabetics. Synergistic with exercise for insulin sensitivity. Peak effect at 8-12 weeks.

RCT

2002 Metabolism PMID: 12500988

Volek et al. — L-Carnitine supplementation in trained athletes

2g/day L-carnitine increases fat oxidation 11-15% during submaximal exercise. No effect on untrained populations. Requires 2-4 week loading phase.

Drug interactions

Molecule synergies

✓

Testosterone + Semaglutide

No direct pharmacokinetic interaction. Complementary recomposition: testosterone builds muscle, semaglutide reduces appetite. Combined effect is additive.

Mechanism: Different receptors (AR vs GLP-1R), non-overlapping pathways

✓

Testosterone + Metformin

Testosterone increases insulin sensitivity; metformin enhances this. Favorable combination for glucose homeostasis. May enhance body recomposition synergistically.

Mechanism: Both improve GLUT4 translocation and mitochondrial function

⚠

Semaglutide + Metformin (absorption)

Semaglutide delays gastric emptying, which may slow metformin absorption slightly. Unlikely to be clinically significant at these doses. Monitor blood glucose; no dose adjustment needed.

Mechanism: Delayed gastric transit reduces oral bioavailability by ~5-10%

✓

L-Carnitine + Semaglutide

Synergistic for fat oxidation. L-carnitine supports mitochondrial beta-oxidation; semaglutide reduces caloric intake. No interference with carnitine transport.

Mechanism: L-carnitine is substrate for CPT1; semaglutide is unrelated GLP-1 agonist

FAQ

Common questions

What's included in this protocol pack?

The arq Recomp pack includes Semaglutide injectable (Rx), 30 capsules of Berberine 500mg (OTC), 30 capsules of Chromium Picolinate 200mcg (OTC), and 30 servings of Psyllium Husk 5g (OTC), plus a full doctor consultation, prescription issuance, and courier delivery. Semaglutide is dosed for 4-5 weekly injections per month.

Are the supplements pharmaceutical-grade?

Yes. All OTC supplements are pharmaceutical-grade: Berberine is 98%+ pure, Chromium Picolinate is USP verified, and Psyllium Husk is pharmaceutical-grade soluble fiber. No fillers or low-quality ingredients.

How does the doctor consultation work with a multi-component protocol?

After purchase, a licensed physician will call you within 2 hours to discuss your health history, weight goals, metabolic health, and any medical conditions. They will evaluate whether Semaglutide and the arq Recomp stack are appropriate for you before issuing a prescription.

What kind of results should I expect?

Semaglutide users typically see 15-25% body weight reduction over 6-12 months, combined with improved metabolic health markers. arq Recomp's multi-component approach supports sustainable recomposition, not just weight loss. Results vary based on diet, exercise, and individual physiology.
