Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 to regulate blood sugar, appetite, and metabolism. It works by slowing digestion, reducing hunger, and helping the body release insulin more effectively after meals. Originally used to manage type 2 diabetes, it is now also prescribed for weight loss. Benefits include improved blood sugar control, reduced appetite, sustained weight loss, and lower risks of cardiovascular disease. Semaglutide supports long-term metabolic health by promoting healthier eating habits and reducing cravings.
