What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide can help control your cravings, blood sugar regulation and appetite to achieve significant weight loss.
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved prescription for weight management.
• Semaglutide is a weight loss medication received by weekly injection
• Semaglutide is FDA approved for weight loss
• Semaglutide is more effective than all prior weight loss medications!
How Does Semaglutide Work?
• Slows down stomach emptying so that after eating, you feel full longer
• Suppresses appetite and food cravings (on average patients eat ~30% less)
• Lowers blood glucose levels (without making glucose levels too low)
Your body naturally produces several substances that affect your appetite. One of these is called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The body produces GLP-1 naturally when you eat. GLP-1 stops you from feeling hungry and makes you feel full or satisfied.
Semaglutide imitates GLP-1 in the body. This means that Semaglutide provides the same effect as this natural substance (GLP-1) in our bodies.
Reduced food intake: Because Semaglutide reduces feelings of hunger, you eat less food. When combined with a healthy diet, exercise and everything.
Semaglutide will help you lose weight!
Effect on plaques in your blood vessels: In animal studies, Semaglutide stopped the progression of plaque formation in blood vessels. This is likely why Semaglutide has also been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and strokes.

What Are the Ingredients in Semaglutide
The FDA recently issued a warning about compounded Semaglutide that is made with Semaglutide SALT. We want to assure our current and future patients that our compounded Semagltuide is made with Glycogon-Like Peptide-1 – the same active ingredient found in the brand name drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. We use an FDA-registered and New York stated certified compounding pharmacy that is compliant with all FDA recommendations and regulations. Our pharmacy DOES NOT USE SEMAGLUTIDE SALT!
