Understanding How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, designed to

mimic the functions of the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone is released in

response to food intake and plays a crucial role in managing blood glucose

levels. It increases insulin production, slows down digestion, and most

importantly for weight loss, reduces appetite.

Pros of Semaglutide for Weight loss.

 

Proven effectiveness: Clinical trials have demonstrated significant

weight loss results with Semaglutide, with participants losing an

average of 15% of their body weight.

Improved Metabolic Health: Semaglutide doesn’t just support

weight loss; it also helps improve overall metabolic health, reducing

the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving glycemic control.

 

Appetite suppression: Semaglutide helps control hunger by

mimicking the effects of a natural hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite.

​

Non-surgical option: Semaglutide provides an alternative to more

invasive weight loss procedures like bariatric surgery.

 

Tirzepatide works as a weight loss medication in a variety of ways:

 

APPETITE SUPPRESSION

Since tirzepatide is a GLP receptor agonist, it mimics the hormone GLP-1 that is known

for regulating hunger, which results in individuals eating less food. Additionally, it also

mimics the GIP hormone (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). induces

weight loss by stimulating satiety in the hypothalamus. Tirzepatide,

which simultaneously stimulates GIP and GLP-1 receptors, increases

general insulin sensitivity, improves glycemic control, and increases weight loss.

 

DELAYED GASTRIC EMPTYING

Tirzepatide slows down the rate at which food is emptied into the intestines,

leaving it in the stomach longer and creating a feeling of satisfaction and fullness.

 

INCREASED ENERGY

Tirzepatide can potentially lead to increased energy, which results in

moving more often throughout the day and burning more calories.

 

BENEFITS OF TIRZEPATIDE

Tirzepatide injections could potentially offer numerous benefits, including:

Reducing body weight, especially when combined with

following a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

Serving as a weight management drug for consistent weight loss over an extended period of time.

Diminishing risk of heart and cardiovascular disease upon achieving a healthy weight. Helping you to look and feel healthier.
