GLP-1 peptides are designed to mimic the hormone GLP-1 which naturally exists in your body. It’s responsible for helping regulate your appetite and boost your glucose metabolism. GLP-1 peptides assist with weight loss by making you feel fuller for longer and boosting insulin sensitivity to help you process sugar more effectively.
GH secretagogues help stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. GH, or growth hormone, is responsible for fat metabolism and muscle growth, as well as promoting overall health. GH secretagogues can be administered in combination with GLP-1 peptides to help enhance weight loss and body composition. Due to the role GH plays in fat metabolism and muscle growth, it’s especially helpful if your goal is to enhance your overall body composition as opposed to simply losing weight.
Most recipients noted that they saw physical results within a few months of starting GLP-1 peptide therapy. While it’s common for weight loss to not be immediately noticeable, recipients have reported changes in their appetites within the first few weeks. It’s important to be patient with the process and understand that while you may not see results right away, they will happen and be long-lasting when managed well.
