Semaglutide Q&A
What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like-peptid-1 receptor agonists.
How Does Semaglutide work?
It mimics the GLP-1 hormone which is released in the gut in response to eating.
One of GLP-1’s primary actions is to cause prompt production of insulin in the body, which reduces blood sugar levels. When Semaglutide binds to the GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, it boosts the release of insulin thus reducing the release of glucagon and this in turn maintains a glucose homeostasis triggering fat-burn for fuel.
When GLP-1 is given in safe higher dose it interacts with parts of the brain that suppress your appetite/hunger, food cravings, and signals you to feel full.
