GLP-1
GLP-1
GLP-1 is a natural hormone your body releases after you eat. It helps you feel full, slows down digestion, and helps control blood sugar resulting in:
- Making you feel full sooner
- Keeping you full longer
- Reducing hunger and snacking
- Helping your body release insulin when you eat keeping your blood sugar stable
Semaglutide
Semaglutide works on the GLP-1 only by acting like a natural hormone that helps control your appetite and blood sugar. Because you’re less hungry and feel full longer, you eat less, and that leads to weight loss.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide works on GLP-1 and GIP (dual action) by copying two natural hormones in your body. It offers everything Semaglutide does but gives an extra boost in appetite reduction. Tirzepatide’s dual action may lead to more substantial weight loss than Semaglutide for some patients.
