What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. In clinical trials, researchers discovered it also produced significant weight loss, leading to its FDA approval for chronic weight management under the brand names Wegovy® and Ozempic®.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. It signals to your brain that you're full, slows digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Semaglutide mimics this hormone, helping you feel satisfied with less food.

Our compounded Semaglutide contains the same active ingredient as brand-name medications but is prepared by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies, making it available at a fraction of the retail cost.
