What is Semaglutide?
HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE WORK?
By controlling cravings and reducing your appetite, you can achieve significant weight loss with this FDA-approved prescription peptide.
Approved for medical weight loss in 2014, Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone that targets appetite centers in the brain and the gut. This hormone, GLP-1, is produced in the small intestine and stimulates insulin secretion while inhibiting glucagon secretion. The ultimate result is lowered blood sugar and feeling full and satisfied by decreasing appetite and portion sizes.
