GLP-1 receptor agonist

What if you could change your constitution?

Have you heard of GLP-1 receptor agonists?

GLP-1, also called the "slimming hormone," is a hormone that naturally exists in the human body and is secreted from the intestines. Its main role is to promote insulin secretion. It is said that when a large amount of GLP-1 is secreted, appetite is suppressed and fat is broken down more easily, making it harder to gain weight and easier to lose weight. Conversely, when only a small amount of GLP-1 is secreted, appetite is not suppressed and people overeat, which as a result makes it easier to gain weight.

The "GLP-1 diet" is a way to improve your constitution and lose weight naturally, simply by taking this slimming hormone into your body every day.

GLP-1 receptor agonists: a hormone secreted from the small intestine

GLP-1, the hormone that controls appetite

GLP-1 is a type of hormone secreted from the small intestine in response to eating. It promotes the secretion of insulin, which keeps blood sugar from rising. It also suppresses the secretion of glucagon, which raises blood sugar.

In other words, please think of it as a medication that keeps your blood sugar from rising.

In addition, GLP-1 slows the emptying of the stomach's contents and also suppresses appetite, so it has come to be widely used as an effective medication for dieting.

Features of the GLP-1 receptor agonist diet

01. Dietary restriction without stress

With diets based on restricting food, forcing yourself to suppress your appetite can become a source of stress for some people.

GLP-1 has an appetite-suppressing effect. Using it helps prevent overeating, and because you get hungry less easily, it can help prevent unnecessary snacking.

02. Acts on the stomach and intestines to reduce sugar absorption

GLP-1 has the effect of slowly emptying the stomach's contents. Because sugar is also absorbed more gradually, rises in blood sugar can be suppressed.

03. Works to lower blood sugar

Blood sugar rises temporarily after a meal. At that time, people with little GLP-1 secrete less of the insulin that suppresses the rise in blood sugar, so they cannot control their blood sugar well.

Administering GLP-1 improves blood sugar control.

Commonly used medications

Mounjaro®: GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist

Mounjaro® is a GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist given once a week. Along with suppressing rises in blood glucose, it suppresses appetite and also helps with weight loss.

Rybelsus®: GLP-1 receptor agonist

Many people have probably tried dieting before, but restricting food or exercising excessively is mentally stressful and places a heavy burden on the body, so people often give up partway. With a diet method in which you take the GLP-1 hormone orally, taking it once a day naturally suppresses your appetite and reduces "hunger," the hardest part of dieting, so you can continue the diet without strain.

In addition, if you also take Canaglu® together with it, Canaglu® works to excrete sugar in the urine instead of absorbing it, so carbohydrates are less easily absorbed.

Canaglu®: SGLT2 inhibitor

Taking Canaglu® together with Rybelsus® can be expected to further enhance the diet effect. In the human body, when the kidneys make urine from blood, sugar naturally gets mixed into the urine. However, the kidneys recover the sugar from the urine, so that the urine contains no sugar. Taking an SGLT2 inhibitor blocks the kidneys' recovery of sugar from the urine, so sugar comes to be excreted in the urine.
