TLDR: You already know GLP-1 works. Here's why you don't have to inject it anymore. 👇
💉 Let's Be Honest About Injections
You know GLP-1 works. But something's been holding you back.
Maybe you've been on Ozempic for months—and still dread every injection day.
Maybe you researched it, got excited, then saw the needle and closed the tab.
Maybe you're paying $249/month for compounded injections and thinking there has to be an easier way.
There is. Here are 10 reasons women are switching to oral GLP-1:
1. No More Needles. Period.

1. No More Needles. Period.
We surveyed 1,000 women about their GLP-1 injection experience:
What They Said
% Who Agreed
"I dread injection day"
67%
"I've skipped doses because I couldn't face the needle"
43%
"I wish there was another option"
84%
84% wished there was another option.
Amie is that option. One capsule every morning. No needle ever touches your body.
2. No More "Injection Dread"
2. No More "Injection Dread"
You know the feeling. It's injection day. You've been putting it off since morning. Now it's 11pm and you're standing in the bathroom, alcohol swab in hand, trying to psych yourself up.
Some women never get used to it. The anxiety doesn't fade. It just becomes part of the routine—a weekly tax you pay for results.
With Amie, there's nothing to dread.
Take a capsule with water. Wait 30 minutes. Eat breakfast.
That's it. No psyching yourself up. No procrastinating until midnight. No dreading Sundays.
3. No Refrigeration Required

3. No Refrigeration Required
Injectable GLP-1 needs refrigeration. That means:
Cooler bags
Ice packs that leak in your suitcase
Explaining to TSA why you're traveling with needles
Hotel mini-fridges that may or may not work
Anxiety about your medication going bad in the heat
Amie ships and stores at room temperature.
Throw it in your purse. Take it on vacation. No logistics. No cooler bags. No anxiety.
4. Competitive with Injection Pricing

4. Competitive with Injection Pricing
Even if Amie costs the same as compounded injections, ask yourself:
What's the needle tax worth to you?
The dread. The bruising. The logistics. The skipped doses.
If you could pay the same and never inject yourself again—would you?
5. Better Compliance = Better Results

5. Better Compliance = Better Results
Here's the truth nobody talks about:
43% of women on injectable GLP-1 admit to skipping doses because they couldn't face the needle.
Every skipped dose is lost progress. Every week you procrastinate is a week your results stall.
Oral GLP-1 removes the friction. There's nothing to dread, so there's nothing to skip.
Consistency is the secret to results. Amie makes consistency effortless.
6. Same Compound, Same Results

6. Same Compound, Same Results
Let's be clear: Amie isn't some supplement hoping to mimic GLP-1.
This IS GLP-1—in capsule form.
Same compound. Same mechanism. Same results.
The only difference is how it enters your bloodstream.
7. Total Discretion

7. Total Discretion
With injections, there's always evidence:
Vials in the refrigerator
Sharps container under the sink
Bruises on your stomach
That awkward moment when someone opens the wrong drawer
With Amie, it's just a pill bottle.
No different from your vitamins. Nothing to hide. Nothing to explain.
8. TSA-Friendly

8. TSA-Friendly
"What's in the cooler bag?" "Why do you have needles?" "Do you have documentation for this?"
With Amie: It's a pill bottle. TSA doesn't care. You walk through like everyone else.
No cooler. No ice packs. No medical letter. No explaining your medication to a stranger in line.
9. Same GLP-1 Benefits You Already Know
