Mechanism
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic the actions of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor. It slows stomach emptying, acting on the brain to reduce appetite and boosting the release of insulin, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels.
Effect
It has been FDA approved for diabetes but was found to be effective for weight loss, improving cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation and cholesterol levels. It also has been shown to promote lasting weight loss by helping you stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle even after discontinuing the medication.
Research
In research studies, the mean change in body weight from baseline to week 68 was −14.9% in the semaglutide group as compared with −2.4% with placebo (New England Journal of Medicine, 2021).
In a cohort study of 175 patients with overweight or obesity, the total body weight loss percentages achieved were 5.9% at 3 months and 10.9% at 6 months (National institute of Health, 2022).
