Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for managing diabetes and assisting with weight loss. It is similar to a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that is released naturally by the body after eating. Semaglutide helps the body produce more insulin when needed and decreases the amount of sugar released by the liver.
Recent studies have shown that semaglutide can also be highly effective as a weight loss treatment when combined with diet and exercise. The Vitality Hormone Clinic now offers compounded semaglutide injections specifically dosed and prepared for weight management.
When used for weight loss, semaglutide works by suppressing appetite and slowing digestion. This leads to reduced food intake and calories absorbed by the body, resulting in potentially significant weight reduction over several months of treatment.
There are many advantages to using compounded semaglutide injections from the Vitality Hormone Clinic for losing weight:
Clinical trials have demonstrated that people using semaglutide for obesity treatment have achieved 14-17% body weight loss on average after 68 weeks. This amount of weight loss can lead to dramatic health improvements for patients who are overweight or struggling with obesity.
One of the major ways semaglutide assists with weight loss is by curbing appetite. People using the medication often feel fuller faster after eating and stay satiated for longer periods of time between meals. This leads to reduced calorie intake.
In addition to weight loss, studies show semaglutide can also improve lipid profiles. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides may be lowered, leading to better cardiovascular health.
Losing significant weight quickly with semaglutide treatment can motivate patients to stick to lifestyle changes. Maintaining diet and exercise while on the medication leads to better final outcomes.
The Vitality Hormone Clinic specially compounds semaglutide doses for each patient. This allows for tighter control over medication amounts tailored to individual needs.
Semaglutide used for weight reduction is appropriate for certain patients based on their current health profile. Good candidates for treatment often match the following parameters:
Semaglutide has been studied primarily in adults over the age of 18 with a BMI over 30 (obese) or over 27 (overweight) with at least one weight-related medical condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
To achieve the best treatment outcome, patients using compounded semaglutide for weight loss should also adopt lifestyle modifications including improved dietary choices and increased physical activity.
Semaglutide is meant for long term use, not a quick fix. Patients need determination to stick with the treatment plan for 68 weeks to realize the full weight loss effects observed in research.
A licensed medical provider must prescribe and monitor patients using semaglutide injections. Bloodwork and follow up appointments allow for tracking of patient health metrics.
There are several physiological ways that semaglutide assists with appetite suppression and weight loss when taken regularly:
By slowing the speed at which food empties from your stomach into the intestines, semaglutide helps you feel full for longer after eating a meal. This contributes to eating smaller portions and feeling satisfied with less food.
Semaglutide mimics natural GLP-1 hunger signals to block ghrelin - a hormone that drives increased food intake. This leads to a reduction in between-meal snacking.
Research shows that semaglutide acts on appetite control centers in the brain, leading to decreased interest and cravings for food.
Semaglutide boosts insulin output when blood sugar climbs too high. This helps manage diabetes but also assists with appetite regulation related to glucose fluctuations.
The combined effects of semaglutide treatment lead to consuming fewer calories than your body uses on a daily basis, resulting in notable weight reduction over months of use.
