Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide
Semaglutide: Acts purely as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone to signal to your brain that you are full, slow down digestion, and balance blood sugar.
Tirzepatide: A combination of both GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists. The addition of GIP, another hormone that naturally stimulates insulin secretion works synergistically with GLP-1. This dual action often enhances weight loss and improves blood sugar control even further.
