How Compounded Semaglutide Promotes Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and it helps with weight loss in several ways:
- Appetite Suppression: It slows gastric emptying and signals the brain to reduce hunger, leading to lower calorie intake.
- Increased Satiety: Users feel full sooner and for longer, making it easier to maintain a caloric deficit.
- Improved Blood Sugar Control: Reduces insulin spikes and stabilizes blood sugar levels, which may curb cravings and fat storage.
- Fat Preference Shift: Some data suggests GLP-1s may shift energy metabolism toward using fat over carbohydrates.

Why Compounded Semaglutide May Be Used
Compounded semaglutide is often used as a more accessible and affordable alternative to branded medications.
It is custom-made in a compounding pharmacy and may include:
- Different excipients or preservatives
- Sometimes combined with vitamin B12 or other agents to reduce side effects
