APPETITE SUPPRESSION

Central Nervous System Effects

Semaglutide acts on the central nervous system, particularly the areas of the brain that regulate appetite. It suppresses appetite, leading to reduced feelings of hunger and increased feelings of fullness.

DELAYED GASTRIC EMPTYING

Slowing Digestion

Semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, which can contribute to prolonged feelings of fullness after meals. This helps in reducing overall caloric intake.

CALORIC INTAKE REDUCTION

Lower Food Consumption

As a result of appetite suppression and delayed gastric emptying, individuals taking semaglutide tend to consume fewer calories, contributing to weight loss.

WEIGHT LOSS EFFICACY

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials, such as those conducted in the STEP program (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity), have demonstrated the efficacy of semaglutide in promoting weight loss.
Significant Reductions: Participants in these trials experienced significant weight loss compared to those receiving a placebo, making semaglutide a promising option for individuals with obesity or those struggling with overweight conditions.

INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Facilitating Exercise

Some individuals may find it easier to engage in physical activity due to increased energy levels and improved overall well-being while using semaglutide, contributing to the weight loss process.

IMPROVED GLYCEMIC CONTROL

Blood Sugar Regulation

While the primary focus of semaglutide is not blood sugar control in the context of weight loss, it may have indirect benefits on blood sugar regulation. By improving insulin sensitivity and reducing insulin resistance, semaglutide may contribute to overall metabolic health.
