Semaglutide
PH-SEMA-001
Specifications
Description
Semaglutide is a special kind of medicine that helps people with type 2 diabetes and those who want to lose weight. It stays in the body for a while, and it helps the body make more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps us use the sugar we eat for energy. Semaglutide also helps reduce hunger, so people eat less.
How Does it Work?
Semaglutide works by talking to special receptors in the body. These receptors help the body make more insulin when we eat, and they also help reduce the amount of a hormone called glucagon. Scientists have done studies that show Semaglutide is very good at helping people lose weight (Rubino et al., 2021). It's been approved by the FDA to help people manage their weight (Chao et al., 2021).
