Semaglutide

Your route to better weight management.

Originally used to treat diabetes, semaglutide now provides efficient weight loss. It acts as a GLP-1 hormone mimic, controlling blood sugar levels while promoting weight loss, better blood sugar management, and lowered cardiovascular risk.

How Semaglutide Works to Lose Weight

Semaglutide decreases cravings and prevents overeating by decreasing appetite, increasing fullness, and delaying stomach emptying. It also lessens the storage of body fat.

Blood Sugar Control Improvement

Semaglutide increases the production of insulin, inhibits the release of glucose from the liver, and lowers intestinal glucose absorption.

Potential Side Effects

Consequences like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can occur. Serious adverse effects
are uncommon.
