Description

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a natural intestinal hormone that regulates appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels after meals. Synthetic GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone by slowing down stomach emptying and signaling fullness directly to the brain. They also prompt the pancreas to release insulin when blood sugar is elevated, making them highly effective for both managing type 2 diabetes and driving significant fat loss. Widely known under brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy, these treatments have revolutionized modern metabolic health care.
