How a GLP-1 Works
Tirzepatide mimics the effects of the GLP-1 hormone. It works by:
- Enhancing insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release.
- Reducing appetite.
- Slowing the movement of food through the gut.
- Signaling a feeling of fullness.
As a result, you feel fuller faster, which can ultimately lead to sustained weight loss.
