How Do Ozempic Injections Work?
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the body that helps to regulate blood sugar levels and plays a key role in controlling the level of satiety one feels after one eats.
Ozempic is nearly identical to the hormone GLP-1, but slight molecular differences make it more effective at aiding in sustainable weight loss. This synthetic hormone is specifically designed to delay the rate at which the stomach empties food into the intestine, leaving its users feeling fuller for longer and more satiated overall. In combination with healthy lifestyle choices, Ozempic offers an additional layer of aid for those struggling to shed their unwanted weight.
Ozempic can be administered at home, or a clinical office, once a week via a small injection to the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen.
