Semaglutide
The number one weight loss medication in the country.
Studies show an average of >15% body weight loss. It can help both jump-start weight loss and support chronic weight management but it is also good for getting ride of those pesky last few pounds.
Tiny insulin injection into the subcutaneous fat once per week.
Semaglutide is currently the number 1 FDA-approved weight loss medication on the market. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that is similar to incretin which is a naturally occurring hormone that controls appetite and prevents hunger pangs. It helps control blood sugar by stimulating insulin secretion, which protects against cardiovascular problems. It also causes a minor delay in gastric emptying which makes people feel fuller longer.
Side Effects
Nausea, indigestion, diarrhea or constipation are the most common. This usually subsides after a few weeks on the medication.
Fatigue is also common in the first few weeks so it is a good idea to supplement with our Slim Boost which speeds up metabolism and helps with energy.
