What is GLP-1?

GLP-1, a peptide hormone with 30-31 amino acids, regulates blood sugar levels by boosting insulin release after meals. It also protects pancreatic beta cells, promotes insulin gene activity, and offers neuroprotective advantages for the brain and nervous system. GLP-1 decreases hunger by slowing stomach and intestinal movements. Research indicates its impact on organs such as the heart, fat tissues, muscles, bones, liver, lungs, and kidneys.

Benefits of GLP-1 in Weight Loss Therapy

The primary focus of GLP-1 research has been on diabetes treatment and prevention and appetite suppression. Here are the key benefits:

Appetite Suppression
GLP-1 delays gastric emptying and reduces intestinal motility, decreasing hunger and food intake.
Improved Blood Sugar Control
Enhancing insulin secretion, GLP-1 helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, which is crucial for weight management.
Cardiovascular Health
Preliminary research suggests that GLP-1 may offer cardiovascular benefits, including improved heart function and reduced risk of heart disease.
Neuroprotective Effects
Emerging studies indicate that GLP-1 can help stave off neurodegenerative diseases by slowing or preventing the accumulation of amyloid beta plaques, which are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
