Discover the Power of GLP-1 for Weight and Blood Sugar Control
Clinically proven to help regulate appetite, stabilize blood sugar, and support long-term wellness.
What is GLP-1?
Understanding GLP-1: A Natural Hormone with Powerful Health Benefits
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally produces in response to food. It plays a key role in regulating blood sugar, managing appetite, and improving metabolic function. Medical science has harnessed GLP-1’s power in treatments that help people manage weight and type 2 diabetes more effectively.
Key Points:
- Naturally occurring gut hormone
- Controls appetite and glucose levels
- Foundation for FDA-approved medications for diabetes and weight management

No. There are currently no FDA-approved generic versions of medicines containing semaglutide available.
What is a semaglutide?
Semaglutide was discovered in the early 2000s by researchers at Novo Nordisk. Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone naturally found in our bodies, GLP-1 (short for “glucagon-like peptide-1”).
It is a peptide (a short chain of amino acids) that is the main ingredient (also known as “active pharmaceutical ingredient”) in three different FDA-approved prescription medicines for patients with type 2 diabetes or obesity, with or without established cardiovascular disease.
