What is Semaglutide?
A glucagon-like peptide-1 (or GLP-1) hormone is mimicked by Semiglutide to target areas in the brain which regulate appetite and hunger.
Your digestive tract releases an incretin hormone after eating a meal which then lowers your blood sugar by triggering insulin release to block sugar production. This process helps you eat less and lose 1-2 pounds per week, it depends on each client. A low-calorie meal plan helps increase the rate at which dieting is not required, just maintaining proper eating habits.
How does it work?
Semiglutide is a once-a-week injection that is administered subcutaneously. Sometimes these injections are combined with amino acids, minerals and IV’s vitamins to boost energy and burn fat.
