Description

✅ What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and now widely used for weight loss in people with obesity or overweight—even without diabetes. It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, and promote satiety.
