Ozempic is an injectable type 2 diabetes medication taken once a week.
We are offering a similar alternative in capsule form and has also been shown to effectively help users lose weight. Ozempic contains the active ingredient semaglutide. This mimics a hormone that tells your brain you feel full, suppressing your appetite.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic belongs to a group of medicines called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. When used to manage blood glucose levels, Ozempic works by binding to a receptor called the GLP-1 receptor which stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas when you need it. The release of insulin lowers blood sugar levels and slows the release of glucagon (sugar) from your liver.
How effective is Ozempic?
Research shows that semaglutide is effective at lowering blood glucose levels. Injected semaglutide lowered HbA1c levels by 1.01% and 1.38% in clinical trials and was shown to be a more efficient treatment compared to other anti-diabetic medicines.
Ozempic for Weight Loss
Many people notice that their blood sugar levels are lower within the first week of using Ozempic but it can take 8 weeks or more to see the full effects.
