What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. While Ozempic and Rybelsus are primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, Wegovy (FDA-approved in 2021) is designed for chronic weight management, administered through convenient once-weekly injections.
Semaglutide has been clinically shown to help patients lose up to 15% of their body weight, making it a game-changer for long-term weight loss and maintenance.
Semaglutide mimics the body's natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which:
Increases insulin production, helping to lower blood sugar levels.
Reduces appetite and enhances feelings of fullness, supporting weight loss.
By decreasing food intake and promoting satiety, Semaglutide helps you eat less while still feeling satisfied. This makes it easier to stay on track with your weight loss goals.
At Tried and True Weightloss, we offer an enhanced version of Semaglutide by combining it with L-Carnitine, an amino acid known for its role in fat mobilization. L-Carnitine helps convert stored fat into energy, boosting the fat-burning process and increasing the effectiveness of Semaglutide.
Benefits of Semaglutide + L-Carnitine:
Accelerates fat burning
Supports your body’s energy production
Enhances overall weight loss management
Understanding Semaglutide Dosing
Semaglutide dosing is dose-dependent and varies based on the duration of use. Uptitration (gradual dose increase) may be necessary over time to maintain or further weight loss results.
How to Inject Semaglutide
Administer by subcutaneous (SUBQ) injection into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Inject at any time of day, on the same day each week, with or without food.
Allow ≥48 hours between doses if you need to change the day of administration.
Rotate injection sites weekly if using the same area of the body.
Do not mix Semaglutide with other injectable products.
The solution should be clear; avoid using it if it contains particles or discoloration.
