How does Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) work:
Tirzepatide, works by targeting two key hormones involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite control: GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) and GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide).
Here’s how it functions:
1
Dual Hormone Activation
- GLP-1 Agonism: Enhances insulin secretion, reduces glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying, leading to better blood sugar control and increased satiety.
- GIP Agonism: Improves insulin sensitivity and influences fat metabolism, aiding in weight loss.
2
Appetite Regulation and Satiety
Tirzepatide helps reduce appetite and cravings, leading to a decrease in calorie intake. The dual action on GLP-1 and GIP enhances this effect, making users feel fuller for longer periods after eating.
3
Weight Loss
Tirzepatide impact on appetite, satiety, and fat metabolism contributes to significant weight loss in many users. By lowering the body’s set point for weight and reducing the urge to eat, it helps in achieving and maintaining a lower body weight.
