Semaglutide mimics this natural hormone but is designed to last much longer in the body
It mimics both GLP-1 and GIP incretin hormones, hence its nickname twincretin. While it shares GLP-1s effects, the addition of GIP action enhances insulin release in response to high blood sugar and plays a role in fat metabolism
If you are sensitive to GI effects, the tirzepatide dosing pathway offers a gentler escalation with lower absolute side effect rates at each level
This is a fairly common dilemma, especially for people who are just starting their adventure with collagen supplementation
