Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which: Slows digestion (gastric emptying) Regulates appetite and cravings Improves insulin sensitivity Lowers blood sugar levels Glycine , while not directly tied to weight loss, supports: Mitochondrial function and metabolic energy production Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways Sleep quality, cognitive function, and tissue repair The addition of glycine may help reduce the systemic stress of rapid weight loss, support recovery, and enhance metabolic flexibility during your transformation
Lipid panels: These reflect metabolic shifts as weight and insulin sensitivity change, and clinicians often recheck lipids within 8 to 12 weeks of a dose change to capture meaningful movement
