Weight Loss Benefits of Semaglutide

In the past few years, Semaglutide has gained attention for its use in successful weight loss treatment. While originally developed for the treatment of Type II Diabetes, it has been found to promote weight loss in people with and without diabetes. It works by mimicking the actions of the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and food intake. It stimulates insulin secretion and reduces glucagon release which helps lower blood sugar and reduces hunger.
