Why Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. It helps the body produce more insulin when needed, reduces glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying, which may support satiety and reduced food intake.
Mechanism of Action
- Insulin Secretion: Stimulates glucose-dependent insulin release from pancreatic beta cells
- Glucagon Suppression: Reduces glucagon secretion when glucose levels are elevated
- Gastric Emptying: Slows gastric emptying, promoting satiety and reducing post-meal glucose spikes
- Appetite Regulation: Acts on brain receptors involved in hunger, satiety and food noise
"After struggling with weight for years, Semaglutide finally gave me the control I needed. I've lost 38 pounds and kept it off for over a year."
