What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Semaglutide (GLP-1) is a GLP-1 peptide that can help you lose weight. It does so by sending signals in the body to control appetite and cravings, suppressing the hormone responsible for hunger, and helping with metabolic function. Similarly, Tirzepatide also promotes weight loss. Tirzepatide does this by signaling the brain that you’re full and slowing the movement of food through your digestive system which helps you feel full for longer. These medications promote weight loss, allowing you to reach your goals faster.
