Semaglutide is 94% similar to a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), which stimulates the pancreas to produce additional insulin, decreasing the stomach’s emptying time and signaling to the brain a feeling of fullness and reduced cravings for specific foods.
People who take weekly Semaglutide injections (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) have altered food preferences and consume smaller portions, resulting in lower calorie consumption.
Targets increased abdominal fat in women due to hormonal imbalances, which cause increased insulin resistance that occurs with age, hysterectomy, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).
Clinical trials have shown people lose an average of fifteen to twenty percent of their starting weight.
