Originally created as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes, when combined with a reduced calorie meal plan and increased physical activities, the use of Semaglutide in overweight people has produced remarkable clinical trial results for moderate weight loss, with participants losing an average of 37 pounds with a weekly injection.
Semaglutide is used in patients with diabetes because it increases insulin secretion. But at higher doses, it acts on centers in the brain that suppress appetite. This helps patients adopt a reduced-calorie diet.
Semaglutide works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite. It works on key underlying metabolic pathways to support sustained weight loss, not a quick fix.
