GLP-1
GLP-1 Injections for Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 is an injectable medication designed for weight loss. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body, increasing insulin secretion, and slowing down the rate at which your stomach empties. This helps to reduce your appetite, making you feel fuller for longer, which can lead to eating less and losing weight.

GLP-1
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone consisting of 30 or 31 amino acids, resulting from the tissue-specific post-translational modification of the proglucagon peptide. It is produced and released by enteroendocrine L-cells in the intestines.
GLP-1 agonists, a class of medications used since 2005, enhance insulin levels in the body. This aids in improving sugar metabolism, regulating hunger hormones, and achieving significant weight loss.
