Semaglutide (commercially known as Ozempic) is increasingly used for weight management.  At bettermale we use a compounded formula of semaglutide infused with vitamin B6.  The addition of vitamin B6 reduces side effects such as nausea.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medication which mimics the action of GLP-1, a natural hormone released from the intestine in response to food intake. GLP-1 regulates metabolism, appetite, and gastric emptying through its action on GLP-1 receptors in the brain and peripheral tissues. By activating these receptors, semaglutide increases feelings of fullness and reduces food intake, thereby leading to weight loss.

Clinical trials using semaglutide for weight loss have yielded promising results. In the STEP (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity) trials, participants treated with semaglutide experienced substantial weight loss compared to those receiving placebo or other anti-obesity medications.

Semaglutide is well-tolerated.  The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These adverse effects are usually mild to moderate in severity and tend to diminish over time and are decreased with our proprietary formula.

Semaglutide is considered safe for people with heart problems, with no increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events observed in clinical trials. However, like any medication, semaglutide may not be suitable for everyone, and careful consideration of individual risk factors and medical history is essential before initiating treatment.

The use of semaglutide for weight loss represents a significant advancement in the field of obesity management. Unlike many existing anti-obesity medications, which often provide modest benefits or carry the risk of serious side effects, semaglutide offers sustained weight loss with a favorable safety profile. This has the potential to transform the approach to obesity treatment and improve the health outcomes of millions of individuals worldwide. The use of semaglutide in combination with lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, may further enhance its efficacy and enable long-term weight maintenance.
