How does this service work?

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which is released in the gut after eating. It supports weight loss through three main actions:

‍

  • Reduces Appetite – It acts on the brain’s appetite centers to decrease hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
  • Slows Stomach Emptying – Food stays in the stomach longer, which helps control appetite and reduces food intake.
  • Improves Blood Sugar Control – It increases insulin release and reduces glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar), especially after meals.
