Mounjaro: What is it?
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient of Mounjaro.
How it Operates:
Tirzepatide is a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. This indicates that it stimulates the body's GIP and GLP-1 receptors.
These receptors are involved in hunger and blood sugar regulation.
Mounjaro helps slow down stomach emptying, reduce glucagon secretion (which elevates blood sugar), and enhance insulin release by activating these receptors. This results in better blood sugar regulation and satiety, both of which can aid in weight reduction.
