Peptides for diabetes management and weight loss

Uses

Diabetes Management & Weight Loss

Mechanism of Action

Promotes weight loss by activating receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and altering food reward pathways to decrease cravings for high-calorie foods.

Slows down gastric emptying which contributes to prolonged feelings of fullness and reduced overall food intake, which supports weight loss.

They enhance insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon release. These actions lead to improved glycemic control, which supports weight loss by improving metabolic health. Improve insulin sensitivity by enhancing glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in peripheral tissues.

Administration

Administered as a once weekly injection

Additional benefits

Reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cognitive decline,

Semaglutide

An analog of the human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor
