GLP-1, or Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, is a hormone released from the gut after consuming meals. It signals the body to release insulin, aiding in blood sugar reduction.
Produced in the intestines, GLP-1 supports stable blood sugar levels, slows digestion, promotes satiety (feeling of fullness), and prevents excess glucose production by the liver. All these things can ultimately promote weight loss.
When we consider the vital role of GLP-1 in blood sugar regulation and digestion, we can see there are several benefits:
- Appetite Management and Weight Loss Facilitation
- Reduced Risk of Heart Disease
- Energy Maintenance
- Prevention of Diabetes
- Support for Metabolic Health
- Glucose Management in Type 2 Diabetes
