GLP 1 Therapy; how it works:
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) agonists are medications that can help with weight loss by acting on the brain and stomach:
Brain
GLP-1 agonists stimulate the receptor for the hormone GLP-1, which increases insulin production and feelings of fullness and appetite satisfaction. They also signal the brain that there is food in the stomach, which can help decrease appetite and cravings.
Stomach
GLP-1 agonists slow down the movement of food through the stomach, a process called delayed gastric emptying. This can help you feel full faster and longer, so you eat less.
The oral semaglutide sublingual option:
Sublingual (SL) Semaglutide is a compounded suspension of semaglutide that is designed to be administered under the tongue (sublingually). Our compounding pharmacy utilizes a special base designed with the intent to carry large molecules (high molecular weight substances), such as semaglutide, through the oral mucosal membrane. This self emulsifying base has permeation-enhancing and unique mucoadhesive properties that help drive molecules into oral tissue.
Consider Sublingual Semaglutide the “forever GLP-1”
Whether you start with the sublingual version or don’t want an injection, the compounded sublingual may become your “forever GLP-1” . Compounded sublingual is a rational cost-effective long-term solution.
