The new medication, Tirzepatid, has gained a lot of attention due to its promising results in clinical trials. The medication contains tirzepatid, an active ingredient that acts on two important hormones in the body:
-
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1): A hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite by increasing satiety and decreasing sugar production in the liver.
-
GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide): A hormone that stimulates insulin release when blood sugar is high and contributes to the regulation of blood sugar after meals.
Medical weight loss treatment: Wegovy and Mounjaro
Valida Health offers medical weight loss treatment with both Wegovy and Mounjaro , two effective treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
-
Wegovy contains semaglutide , a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and helps with weight loss by affecting the feeling of fullness and decreasing food intake.
-
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide , which activates both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. This dual action provides a stronger effect on both blood sugar control and weight loss compared to traditional GLP-1 analogues.
Double benefits: Blood sugar control and weight loss
The dual action of GLP-1 and GIP in Mounjaro provides a unique approach to weight loss, as it both helps regulate blood sugar and promotes an increased feeling of satiety. This makes Tirzepatid particularly effective for people with type 2 diabetes and those struggling with obesity.
Documented results
Clinical studies have shown that both Wegovy and Mounjaro can lead to significant weight loss. Mounjaro has shown in studies a weight reduction of more than 20% of body weight, depending on the dose and duration of treatment. Wegovy has also documented significant weight loss results and improved insulin response in overweight individuals.
