What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes, but is now widely recognized for its ability to help people lose weight.

It works by:

Mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that regulates appetite and digestion
Slowing stomach emptying so you feel full for longer
Reducing cravings and lowering your overall calorie intake
Supporting steady, controlled weight loss over time
