How to get started
What is semaglutide and how does it work?
-
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It works by decreasing blood sugar, delaying how fast food moves through the stomach, increasing feelings of fullness and reducing appetite.
​
What is tirzepatide and how does it work?
-
Tirzepatide is a dual receptor agonist, binding to both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. It works by decreasing blood sugar, delaying how fast food moves through the stomach, increasing feelings of fullness and reducing appetite.
