What is Semaglutide and How Does It Work?

Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in your body, called GLP-1. This hormone is produced by your digestive system in response to when food is consumed.

It acts on both the brain and the digestive system to regulate how full you feel after a meal and slows down the emptying of your stomach into the rest of your digestive system.

GLP-1 also regulates insulin secretion in response to eating meals so that your blood sugar is better controlled and reduces your appetite by signalling to your brain that you've eaten a meal.

Semaglutide acts just like this natural hormone to make you feel fuller for longer, reduce your cravings for more food, and enhance the way your body regulates blood sugar levels and the storage of fat.
