What is Semaglutide for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide (brand names Wegovy® and Ozempic®) is an FDA-approved medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes but now widely recognized as one of the most effective medical weight loss solutions.
It works by mimicking GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, reduce appetite, and slow digestion. The result is reduced cravings, longer-lasting fullness, and significant, sustainable weight loss.
Benefits of Semaglutide:
-
Average weight loss of 10–15% of body weight
-
Appetite control and portion management
-
resistanceHelps regulate blood sugar and improve insulin
-
Convenient once-weekly injection
What is Tirzepatide for Weight Loss?
A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that controls appetite, boosts metabolism, and delivers greater weight loss than GLP-1 alone. Clinical studies show patients may lose up to 20% of body weight, making it one of today’s most effective medical weight loss treatments.
Benefits of Tirzepatide:
-
