What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide is a Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It mimics the actions of GLP-1, a hormone that is naturally produced within the body to regulate blood sugar levels. Semaglutide works by increasing insulin production (which lowers blood sugar levels) while inhibiting glucagon secretion (which raises blood sugar levels). It also reduces appetite and slows down the emptying of the stomach, which helps to reduce your food intake and promote weight loss.
Tirzepatide is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It acts on these two hormone receptors to enhance insulin secretion in response to food intake, reduce glucagon levels (a hormone that increases blood sugar), and slow down the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This combination of effects helps control blood sugar levels and decreases appetite.
How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription weight loss medications that are administered via injection. Our experts will teach you the proper treatment protocol so that you can administer the once-weekly injections yourself in the comfort of your own home.
When injected, these medications enhance insulin production, inhibit glucagon secretion (which raises blood sugar levels), reduces appetite, and slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach so that you feel fuller longer. These effects in combination serve to help you lose weight more effectively.
We combine our weight loss injections with B12 to enhance your energy levels while you are trying to lose weight. To maximize their benefits, weekly weight loss injections should be used in combination with a weight loss plan including increased physical activity and a reduced-calorie diet.
