Tirzepatide brand named version include Mounjaro and Zepbound. Studies have shown patients who use Tirzepatide have lost over 20% of their body weight due to it reducing appetite, slowing down the speed the stomach’s processing food, which makes its users feel full faster and longer, and its ability to reduce blood sugar levels.

Weight Loss Isn’t Easy!
The weight loss journey is not an easy one… Eating less and staying on track just got much easier. The two peptides that make up Tirzepatide are GLP1 and GIP. Each of these hormones are involved in blood sugar control which lead to improving blood sugar levels. Having controlled blood sugar levels makes it easier to avoid craving foods like sugars and carbohydrates, helping you make healthier food choices.
Tirzepatide also helps to reduce your appetite by mimicking the peptide your body produces when you are full and slows down the speed you break down food. This helps keep your stomach full and reduces appetite.
Whether you choose Tirzepatide or Semaglutide to help you tackle the difficult task of weight loss, both can improve the ability to reduce your hunger, decrease the amount of food you can eat and stay away from those foods you crave. It is important to still follow a healthy diet and exercise plan and drink lots of water while using either of these medications for optimal weight loss.
