What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a weight loss medication designed to help regulate your appetite and reduce cravings.
When combined with a reduced-calorie diet, regular physical activity, and healthy lifestyle habits, it can be highly effective in achieving long-term weight loss.
Wegovy’s active ingredient is semaglutide, a synthetic version of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). This hormone is naturally released from the gut after eating and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It communicates with your brain to signal fullness, reducing appetite and curbing cravings. Additionally, it slows stomach emptying, helping you stay fuller for longer.
