Currently, the only GLP1 drugs specifically approved for weight loss are Saxenda (liraglutide) and Wegovy (semaglutide)
By activating GLP1 receptors more strongly and for longer, semaglutide: Slows gastric emptying (food leaves your stomach more slowly)
Moreover, compared to c[Glu 22 Lys 26 ] Gly 8 GLP-1, the affinity and activity of c[Asp 22 Lys 26 ] Gly 8 GLP-1 are lower while those of c[hGlu 22 Lys 26 ] Gly 8 GLP-1 are higher (hGlu: homoglutamic acid), 36 indicating that the length of the amino acid side chain is an important factor
Lipotropic injections, conversely, are unlicensed combinations of amino acids and vitamins marketed for weight loss, lacking robust clinical evidence and NHS endorsement
