The question about 'weight loss injections for children' currently has no approved standard therapy. In Germany and most countries, GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide) are only approved for adults with obesity or type 2 diabetes. Studies in adolescents are ongoing, but long-term data on growth, puberty, and psychosocial effects are lacking. The evidence is therefore 'unclear' or 'practice' – no robust clinical guidelines exist for children. MyBody-X offers the Slim DNA test for insights into metabolic and sport types, but does not provide medical advice on injectable drugs. For children, comprehensive medical evaluation with nutritional and exercise therapy is paramount. A 'weight loss injection' without medical supervision is dangerous and not recommended. The limits of self-testing and the lack of evidence for children must be clearly communicated.
