Weight Loss

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog that was approved in 2017 as a treatment method for improving glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. More recently Semaglutide was approved by the FDA for non-diabetic weight loss.

Studies have demonstrated that Semaglutide reduced appetite, improved control of eating, and reduced food cravings in addition to improved glycemic control. The greatest weight loss benefits were observed when Semaglutide is used in combination with lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and consistent exercise.

How does Semaglutide work?

GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar.

Semaglutide has demonstrated beneficial effects on glycemia, in addition to a host of other benefits.

Reported Benefits:
• Weight Loss
• Neuroprotective
• Improved Fertility
• Treatment of PCOS
• Smoking Cessation

How should Semaglutide be used?

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor, and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, representing a new class of medicines studied for the treatment of obesity. Tirzepatide is a single peptide that triggers the body's receptors for GIP and GLP-1, two natural incretin hormones.

GIP has decreased food intake and increased energy expenditure, resulting in weight reductions. Combined with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it has a more significant effect on glucose and body weight effects.
