How does semaglutide work?

As a GLP-1 RA, it “mimics” the eponymous hormone. The gut produces GLP-1 as a response to food. It functions to trigger the production of insulin. As more insulin is produced, glucose or blood sugar decreases. Due to this function, semaglutide has been prescribed for the control of Type 2 diabetes for more than 15 years.

How does semaglutide help with weight loss?

In higher doses, semaglutide and other GLP-1 RAs interact with brain regions responsible for satiety, making you feel full when eating. Similarly, semaglutide functions to curb your appetite. So, you will eat less and can also feel fuller earlier and after consuming less food.

What results can I expect?

Semaglutide is establishing a new benchmark in combating obesity and promoting weight loss through appetite suppression. Early research of 2,000 obese adults found that half of the study subjects who took semaglutide lost 15% of their weight, while nearly a third shed 20% of their body weight. These findings are even more striking when compared to their counterparts who did not use semaglutide. On average, participants who only made lifestyle changes lost about 2.4% of their body weight at the 68-week mark. Later studies have supported these stunning results.
