Extra blood sugar support – Like semaglutide, it increases insulin when blood sugar is high and reduces glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar).
Dual appetite control – It also works in the brain and gut to decrease appetite and help with weight loss, often more strongly than semaglutide.
Metabolism benefits – The GIP action may help your body handle fat and cholesterol better, supporting overall metabolic health.
How Tirzepatide Works
Tirzepatide works on two natural hormones instead of one:
GLP-1 (same as semaglutide)
GIP (another hormone that also helps control sugar and fat use in the body)

What is Semaglutide?
Your body naturally makes a hormone called GLP-1 that helps control blood sugar and appetite.
Semaglutide is a medicine that acts like this natural hormone, but it lasts longer in your body.
It helps in three main ways:
1. Blood sugar control – When your blood sugar is high, semaglutide tells your pancreas to release more insulin and helps stop your liver from making extra sugar.
2. Slows digestion – Food moves more slowly from your stomach into your intestines, so your blood sugar rises more gently after meals.
3. Reduces hunger – It works in your brain to make you feel full sooner and less interested in food, which helps with weight loss.
