Semaglutide mimics the effects of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1), which is responsible for controlling food intake and appetite. When introduced into the body, Semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors in the brain, particularly in areas responsible for hunger and satiety. This action helps you feel fuller for longer periods, thereby reducing the urge to eat and lowering overall calorie consumption. The medication essentially acts as an appetite suppressant, aiding in sustainable weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
