Semaglutide Most Frequently Asked Questions
What are peptides and how do they work?
As we grow older, the natural production of essential amino acids diminishes in our bodies. These amino acids are responsible for generating peptides which are crucial to many bodily functions.
Peptides modify the body’s responses to diet and exercise, accelerate the healing process, and strengthen immunity. Additionally, some peptides stimulate the secretion of Human Growth Hormone, which is influential in boosting strength, energy levels, skin elasticity, hair growth and much of the aging process.
Peptides provide detailed, targeted directives to cells and molecules, making them a better option than many traditional medications and supplements. Because of their precision, peptides are reported to cause very few, if any, side effects.
Clinically-Proven Weight Loss Medication
Ozempic® works by mimicing the GLP-1 receptors in the body to lower appetite and blood sugar levels. It is meant for overweight patients, generally with a BMI greater than 27.5. There are 4 large studies that all show that this medication is highly effective to achieve weight loss in people who are overweight. In a large study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Semaglutide (which is the active ingredient in both Ozempic®) led to an average weight loss of about 15% of the body weight in about a year, which is an average total weight loss of about 33.7 lbs.
Ozempic® is self-administered by the patient into the fat tissue by a pen injector on a weekly basis. The medication can be picked up at any pharmacy and it does not have to be administered by a healthcare professional. The injection itself is easy to do, but may cause some minimal pain or discomfort. Some of our patients prefer if a family member helps with the injection.
The dose depends on each person’s tolerance to the medication, but generally each month the medication dose will be increased, until a maintenance dose is achieved.
This medication is meant to aid traditional weight-loss efforts like dieting and exercise and should be taken in addition to a calorie-deficit diet and regular exercising.
Clinically Proven Obesity Treatment & Weight Loss Medication
Mounjaro is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to help patients lose weight. It is designed to decrease food intake and increase energy expenditure – resulting in easier weight loss. It can also help you regulate your metabolism more effectively, which is helpful for people who have trouble with yo-yo dieting or whose weight fluctuates.
Mounjaro works by helping the body release insulin when blood sugar is high, remove excess sugar from the blood, stop the liver from making and releasing too much sugar, reduce how much food is eaten and slow down how quickly food leaves the stomach. All these put together can help get your weight loss back on track when combined with exercise and a healthy diet.
