Description

GIP and GLP-1 are naturally occurring hormones in the body that are released after a meal to stimulate insulin secretion, reduce glucagon secretion, slow down gastric emptying, and promote satiety. These actions help regulate blood sugar levels and control appetite.

Tirzepatide mimics the action of GIP and GLP-1, leading to increased insulin secretion from the pancreas, decreased glucagon secretion from the liver, slower emptying of the stomach, and a feeling of fullness. This results in improved glycemic control, reduced blood sugar levels, and potential weight loss.

TIRZEPATIDE works for type 2 diabetes, as well as, for weight loss in several ways by helping the body release insulin when blood sugar is high, removing excess sugar from the blood, stopping the liver from making and releasing too much sugar, reducing hunger/appetite, and improving satiety by slowing down digestion.
