Semaglutide With BPC-157 Treatment for Weight Loss

You may want to shed excess weight for several reasons, including improving your overall health and boosting your self-confidence. If you struggle to lose weight through conventional methods like a reduced-calorie diet or exercise regimen, semaglutide is an exciting weight loss treatment that can help you attain your goal.

Most commonly known as the diabetic medications Ozempic® and Wegovy®, semaglutide is also now FDA approved (as Wegovy) for chronic weight management. These highly effective, once-weekly semaglutide treatments help people in Omaha, Bellevue, and Lincoln, NE, and surrounding areas regain their health.

How Does BPC-157 Work?

BPC-157 may primarily help with weight loss by reducing inflammation and increasing nitric oxide. Being overweight causes inflammation in the body and decreases nitric oxide production. BPC-157 is a peptide that may help decrease inflammation and boost nitric oxide production.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that helps suppress your appetite and regulate blood sugar levels. This medication acts on the centers of the brain, so you don’t overeat during meals and feel satiated for a longer period. A clinical study found that people lost an average of 52 pounds, or about 22.5% of their body weight, using semaglutide. Although it’s not required with semaglutide, combining this medication with a reduced-calorie diet and a regular workout regimen is also beneficial for long-term weight management. Semaglutide is also part of our Weight Loss Management Monthly Program.

It works to:

• Slow the release of food from the stomach
• Increase feelings of fullness after eating
• Reduce appetite and feelings of hunger
• Decreases appetite, which helps reduce body weight

Although it’s not required with semaglutide, combining this medication with a reduced-calorie diet and a regular workout regimen is also beneficial for long-term weight management.
