What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a natural substance in the body. Semaglutide injenctions decrease your appetite and help you feel fuller longer, resulting in a decrease in your daily caloric intake. It works by mimicking a substance called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 is a hormone that is responsible for regulating blood sugar. Semaglutide additionally lowers and regulates your body’s blood sugar.
How does Semaglutide work in the body?
Semaglutide increases insulin secretion from the pancreas, regulating your insulin levels. At higher doses, it acts on centers of the brain and suppresses appetite. Semaglutide delays gastric emptying, making you feel full faster.
