They help lower your blood sugar by triggering insulin release and blocking sugar production. Additionally, Semaglutide slows gastric emptying, leading you to feel fuller for longer.

The largest clinical trial showed that adults taking Semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight, 12% more than their placebo taking peers. In these same trials, more than a third of participants receiving Semaglutide lost 20% of their body weight.
