What It Is

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and improves insulin sensitivity. It is one of the most widely studied compounds in the GLP-1 class for weight management and metabolic health.

Mechanism of Action

Activates GLP-1 receptors to suppress appetite centrally, slow gastric emptying (prolonging satiety), and enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Improves overall insulin sensitivity and metabolic markers.

Benefits

Significant appetite reduction
Improved insulin sensitivity
Slowed gastric emptying
Metabolic health improvement
