What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, mimics a hormone in your gut that regulates appetite and digestion. It increases insulin production, reduces glucagon secretion, lowers appetite, slows gastric emptying, and promotes weight loss.
Key Effects:
Reduces appetite and food intake
Slows stomach digestion
Decreases body fat percentage
Supports weight loss (up to 15% body weight in clinical trials with diet and exercise)
Improves cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes
Lowers HbA1c levels
Enhances pancreatic β-cell growth
