It works stronger than Semaglutide because it targets two pathways involved in appetite, blood sugar control, and fat loss.

Main benefits

Improved insulin sensitivity

Better blood sugar control

Significant fat loss

Reduced cravings (especially sugar & carbs)

Often less nausea than Semaglutide for many users
