what is peptide weight loss?

Peptide weight loss works by activating certain receptors in the body that play a role in regulating appetite and metabolism. In clinical trials, it has been shown to produce significant weight loss in individuals with obesity, as well as improvements in other markers of health such as blood sugar control and cardiovascular risk factors.

These peptides are unique because they are the first medications that can target one or two receptors: a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. As a result, our peptides act as either a single or a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. These functions can help reduce hunger and achieve greater weight loss.

How does Semaglutide a GLP-1 peptide work for weight loss?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist peptide that helps control blood sugar levels. Additionally, individuals taking GLP-1 agonists tend to experience weight loss. The key hormone involved, GLP-1, slows down the rate at which the stomach empties food. And in addition to causing your pancreas to release insulin, Semaglutide also blocks a hormone that causes your liver to release sugar (glucagon). Together, these functions can help you feel less hungry and lose weight.

How does Tirzepatide a GLP-1/GIP peptide work for weight loss?

Tirzepatide is unique because it is the first medication that combines two classes of medication: a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. This makes it a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. Together, these functions can help reduce hunger and lose more weight.
Tirzepatide binds to a receptor of two hormones generated in the gut termed glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It works in the same manner as GIP and GLP-1 by increasing the amount of insulin the pancreas releases in response to meals, encouraging healthy blood glucose regulation.

How Can Tirzepatide Aid in Weight Loss?

As a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide GIP and GLP-1 agonist, tirzepatide has been shown in clinical studies to aid in weight reduction. Tirzepatide produces its weight loss results through the following mechanisms of action:

Appetite Suppression

Tirzepatide affects the brain's appetite-regulating centers, resulting in less hunger and a longer sense of fullness.

Slowed Gastric Emptying

Tirzepatide delays stomach emptying, which might cause food to take longer to travel through the digestive system. This delay in stomach emptying can also promote satiety and aid in food intake management.

Improved Insulin Sensitivity

Tirzepatide enhances insulin sensitivity, which means that the cells in the body are more sensitive to the actions of insulin. Increased insulin sensitivity can improve glucose absorption by cells while decreasing glucose synthesis by the liver. This kind of healthy blood sugar regulation is important for weight loss.

Increased Energy Expenditure

Tirzepatide has been linked to an increase in increased physical activity. Weight loss is inevitable if the body burns more calories than the caloric intake.

Lipolysis

Tirzepatide has been proven to increase fat cell breakdown, also known as lipolysis. Releasing stored fat to produce energy is fundamental for weight loss.

It's crucial to note that the weight reduction benefits of tirzepatide vary from person to person, and researchers have mostly examined it in type 2 diabetes patients specifically. Individuals may have different processes and proportional contributions to weight reduction.

Tirzepatide peptide can also help:

  • Release insulin when blood sugar is high
  • Remove excess sugar from the blood
  • Prevent the liver from producing and releasing an excessive amount of sugar.
  • Slow down food digestion
  • Achieve significant weight loss
  • Lower BMI and accelerates fat loss
  • Reduce inflammation promote gut health
  • Lower A1C
  • Cardiovascular benefits - lower risks of cardio events
  • Control food cravings

A Guide to Weight Loss

Uncover the root cause and find the solution that’s right for you

It’s well known that obesity leads to significant health issues such as cancer, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes so you’d think individuals should be highly motivated to shed those extra pounds, but Americans are failing, and at an increasing rate. Why is obesity rising? The side effects of obesity are well-documented, yet the trend continues.
