What is Semaglutide (CarniSema)?

Updated March 1, 2026

What is Semaglutide (CarniSema)?

CarniSema is Nimbus's proprietary compounded medication combining semaglutide and L-Carnitine.

About Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — the active ingredient in brand-name Ozempic® (diabetes) and Wegovy® (weight loss). It works by:

  • Activating GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite and slow digestion
  • Improving blood sugar regulation
  • Clinical trials: approximately 15% average body weight loss over 2 years

Why L-Carnitine?

L-Carnitine supports fat metabolism by helping transport fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy, complementing the appetite-reducing effects of semaglutide.

Typical Dosing (WeightWise Core)

Doses are titrated gradually to minimize side effects. Your provider sets your specific protocol based on your health history and labs.

Typical Dosing (WeightWise Sustain — Microdosing)

  • Standard: 20 units (0.5mg) weekly
  • Lower option: 10 units (0.25mg) weekly
