How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide mimics the function of 2 incretin hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, released by our bodies after meals. These hormones stimulate insulin secretion and regulate our appetite, letting us know when we are full. The hormone GIP is known to make GLP-1 more effective for weight loss. By activating both GLP-1 and GIP, tirzepatide harnesses the power of other peptide weight loss treatments, like semagludite, while increasing efficacy.

Benefits of Using Tirzepatide for Weight Loss

In addition to regulating your appetite, tirzepatide also:

• Lowers blood sugar
• Slows digestion after eating
• Helps the body remove fat (GIP)
• Reduces the appetite and feelings of hunger
• Slows the movement of food through the stomach
• Reduces weight by more than 20%, depending on the dose

A recent clinical trial of over 2,500 individuals showed that overweight and obese individuals experienced significant weight loss with weekly tirzepatide treatments.
