GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide 1, is a naturally produced hormone with receptors throughout the body, but more so in the brain and stomach. When you consume food, your body's existing GLP-1 signals your pancreas to let go of insulin and retain glucagon—this augments your body's ability to process any consumed sugars. At the same time, some of the other GLP-1 receptors in your stomach retard the quickness of your stomach emptying, giving you a feeling of fullness much faster. GLP-1 also binds to brain receptors, most importantly, the ones that make you feel satisfied and full. This results in you eating less calories and therefore losing weight..

GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists. They act like the hormones naturally in your body. GLP-1, binding to its receptors in different parts of the body and causing the same effects—leading to sustained weight loss and improved response to blood glucose.

We dispense GLP-1 in a properly dosed small prefilled syringe. It is administered by a subcutaneous injection in the belly, thigh, or arm. A reusable applicator is available to facilitate injection.

As do most all medications, there are some possible side effects. Most are mild and generally improve quickly.
