Semaglutide and tirzepatide helps control your blood sugar and assist in weight loss. GLP-1, the key hormone involved, slows down how fast your stomach empties food, which helps you feel full longer. In addition to causing your pancreas to release insulin, semaglutide and tirzepatide also blocks a hormone that causes your liver to release sugar. Why is this important? Together, these functions can help you feel less hungry, causing you to eat less food and lose more weight.
Everyone’s weight loss journey looks different, and how much weight you have to lose will determine the duration of your program. However, you will see the most weight loss once you reach your target dose.
It is important to keep in mind that weight loss can take time, and you’ll see the best results when you are using your medication in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.
