WHAT ARE SEMAGLUTIDE INJECTIONS?
Semaglutide injection is a GLP-1 medication used for weight loss, to treat type 2 diabetes and to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone that is naturally produced in the body and helps to regulate blood sugar levels, reduce hunger and cravings, and increase energy expenditure.
Administered as a once-weekly injection, semaglutide is recommended to be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise. Semaglutide can result in considerable weight reduction, with individuals experiencing an average loss of 10-20% of their total body weight.
HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE WORK?
Semaglutide is distinct from previous classes of prescription weight loss drugs such as phentermine, as they target essential metabolic pathways. By optimizing 3 FUNCTIONS, Semaglutide ensures that it is not a temporary solution; rather, it promotes safe, sustainable weight loss.
REGULATE DIGESTION
By regulating the absorption of sugar in the intestine, Semaglutide slows the pace at which food travels from the stomach to the intestines, which promotes the feeling of fullness. Food is broken down more completely and your body absorbs fewer calories.
INCREASE METABOLIC FUNCTION
Semaglutide maintains optimal blood sugar levels by boosting insulin and minimizing glucagon whenever glucose levels rise. Semaglutide also enhances overall metabolic rate by enhancing the muscle cells’ sensitivity to insulin, increasing energy expenditure and burning more calories even when you’re at rest.
RESET YOUR WEIGHT
Semaglutide helps to modify your body’s set point (the weight your body is accustomed to maintain) by affecting certain regions of the brain. It effectively suppresses cravings, induces a faster feeling of fullness, and enhances energy expenditure.
