+Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone in the body involved in regulating insulin production and appetite. When used for weight loss, it helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and slow stomach emptying, leading to a natural reduction in calorie intake. Initially developed for diabetes management, studies revealed that Semaglutide also led to significant weight loss, prompting its approval for weight management in people with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition.
