Semaglutide “mimics” GLP-1, which is a hormone that exists naturally in the body. Your digestive system produces this hormone when you eat food. It manipulates both the digestive system and your brain, and helps you feel full after you have eaten a meal. It also slows down the pace at which your body digests your food. Because of this, you feel full for a longer period of time.

While Semaglutide is a great option for people who are looking to lose weight, it’s important to remember that Semaglutide is also an effective weight loss option. According to experts, roughly one third of people who take Semaglutide for weight loss lose a minimum of 10 percent of their body weight. At the very least, users will see at least a five percent loss of body weight. Semaglutide is taken once per week by injection.

Semaglutide is a diabetes drug that helps improve blood sugar and lowers hemoglobin A1C. Hemoglobin A1C is a measure of blood glucose over an extended period of time. It is also effective in helping diabetics with known cardiovascular problems from developing a stroke, heart attack, or other cardiovascular problem. The active ingredient in Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors in the body and improves the natural GLP-1 hormone that exists in your body.

GLP-1 and Native GIP stimulate the secretion of insulin, while working on energy and nutrient metabolism. This helps keep food in your system longer and suppresses appetite as a result. Tirzepatide, the compounded version of Mounjaro, is being analyzed as a possible treatment to reduce the incidence of obesity-related deaths.
