What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an injectable medication that when used with a healthy diet and regular exercise can help individuals with known heart disease and/or obesity/overweight reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and even death.
How Does It Work?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1(glucagon-like peptide). This hormone is released by the gut and stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. This release of insulin removes glucose (sugar) from the blood and into cells for energy. GLP-1 also interacts with the brain to reduce appetite and increase the feeling of fullness. This helps reduce calorie intake which results in weight loss.
