how it works
Tirzepatide: Initially developed as a treatment for diabetes, Tirzepatide has been found to have beneficial effects on weight loss. It operates by mimicking the action of certain hormones involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. Tirzepatide helps to enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce appetite, and increase feelings of fullness, thereby contributing to weight loss. This medication influences multiple pathways in the body that are involved in managing weight and glucose levels.
​
Semaglutide: Semaglutide, like Tirzepatide, was originally created to manage type 2 diabetes. It functions by mimicking the action of a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Semaglutide helps to reduce hunger, promote a feeling of satiety, and support metabolic health, leading to weight loss. Clinical studies have shown that Semaglutide can lead to substantial reductions in body weight when used alongside lifestyle changes.
