GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) induce significant weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight by acting on the central nervous system to increase satiety and on the gastrointestinal tract to delay gastric emptying.

GLP-1 medications (like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide) are highly effective for weight loss, often achieving 15-25% body weight reduction in clinical trials. They work by reducing appetite and slowing digestion. These are prescription medications, not supplements. They require long-term use to maintain weight loss, as stopping often leads to regain. They are generally safe but can cause gastrointestinal side effects. Consult a doctor to see if you are a candidate.
