How do semaglutides work?

Peptides are short strands of amino acids either injected (insulin) beneath your skin or sprayed into your mouth. Semaglutide, once injected, works by increasing the amount of insulin produced by your pancreas and decreasing the amount of a second hormone (glucagon) which raises blood sugar. This combination lowers your blood sugar, reduces your hunger and increases your energy levels. The end result is that you lose weight.

Studies show that semaglutides work fairly fast: with no change in eating habits, patients lose 2% of their weight in 4 weeks, significantly more with calorie restrictions, and (to everyone’s delight) weight loss begins with dreaded belly fat, which had accumulated because of excess insulin (the tummy is “lipophilic”, it “loves fat”). Patients familiar with using glucose monitors notice immediately that semaglutides slow gastric emptying and reduce that sugar peak occurring after eating.

Although there are several brands of the semaglutides, the basic semaglutide molecule is in the public domain and cannot be owned by any one company, like “thyroid”, or “insulin”. Therefore, semaglutide is available generically, by prescription, from peptide compounding pharmacies. Unlike the brand name product which sells four, pre-filled syringes for $1,300, the compounding pharmacies prepare a single vial and you’re given a supply of insulin syringes for at-home self-administration.

You start at a very low dose, then slowly increase it over three months and maintain until you reach a weight you’re satisfied with.

Supplemental Therapies

Although you will lose weight on semaglutide therapy without changing anything else in your life, we highly recommend adding in some supplemental therapy and lifestyle changes. This will help you keep the weight off once you stop the peptide.
