How GLP-1 medications workHow GLP-1s work

We would rather you understand the medicine than take our word for it.

It mimics a hormone you already make

After a meal your gut releases GLP-1, a hormone that tells the pancreas, the stomach and the brain that food has arrived. Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist: it stands in for that hormone and is built to last about a week, so the signal that normally fades in minutes stays on between doses.

Drucker, Cell Metabolism, 2018 — mechanisms of action of GLP-1

It slows how fast the stomach empties

Food leaves the stomach more gradually, so a meal keeps you comfortably full for longer instead of spiking and crashing. In a controlled study of adults with obesity, semaglutide 2.4 mg slowed emptying of the first part of a meal and lowered hunger and energy intake alongside it.

Friedrichsen et al., Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2021

It turns down appetite signalling

Acting on appetite centres in the brain, it eases hunger and the constant pull of “food noise”, so smaller portions feel like enough. In a controlled study, people on semaglutide ate about a quarter less at a free-choice meal and reported lower hunger and fewer cravings than on placebo.

Blundell et al., Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2017

Both are weekly injections of a compounded GLP-1. Your clinician decides which fits your history; here is how they differ.

Compounded Semaglutide questions

What patients ask most before starting. If yours isn't here, your clinician answers it during review.

Compounded Semaglutide is a once-weekly injection you give yourself at home, under the skin, with a fine, pre-measured needle. Most patients describe it as quick and nearly painless. Your kit arrives with everything you need, and your care team walks you through your first dose.

The most common effects are mild digestive symptoms: nausea, constipation, or reflux, usually early on and easing as your body adjusts. Starting at a low dose and stepping up gradually keeps them manageable for most people. Serious reactions are uncommon; your provider reviews your history before prescribing and stays available if anything comes up.

You're charged at checkout. If a clinician decides treatment isn't right for you, you get a full refund (usually 5–10 business days). Where appropriate, your provider will suggest a safer alternative or a next step.

No insurance is needed. Compounded Semaglutide is one flat cash price that covers your medication, provider consultations, and shipping, with no membership fee. It's typically HSA/FSA eligible, so you can often pay with pre-tax dollars.

When you’re ready, begin with a short medical intake.

A licensed clinician will review your health and decide whether treatment is appropriate.
