What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications mirror a natural hormone that helps you feel fuller for longer and stabilises blood sugar. The result? Effective, clinically proven weight loss that lasts.
Your body naturally produces a hormone called GLP-1, released by your gut after eating. It helps balance blood sugar and manage appetite by:
- Stimulating insulin when glucose levels rise
- Reducing glucagon, which prevents spikes in blood sugar
- Slowing digestion to keep you feeling full longer
- Signalling the brain to reduce hunger
In clinical studies, patients using a weekly GLP-1 injectable alongside lifestyle changes lost 15% of their body weight over 12–18 months. Individual results vary depending on your dose, consistency, and habits.
By comparison, people relying on diet and exercise alone typically lose about 3–5% of their body weight in the same time frame.
Yes, GLP-1 medications are considered safe when prescribed by a clinician and taken as directed. They’ve been extensively studied, approved for medical use, and have helped millions of people manage their weight and blood sugar safely.
Before starting treatment, your clinician will review your medical history to ensure GLP-1 medication is right for you. Always share any relevant health information so your doctor can prescribe safely and effectively.

About weight loss medications.
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a natural hormone released after you eat. It helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and curb appetite, making GLP-1 medications highly effective for weight management.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best treatment depends on your health needs, lifestyle, and how your body responds to medication. GLP-1 injectable treatments have been shown in clinical studies to help patients lose up to 15% of their body weight, making them one of the most effective and well-studied options available today.
Results vary for each person, and your doctor will help determine which medication, is the right fit for you.
Most people lose around 15% of their body weight with a GLP-1 injectable treatment when combined with healthy eating and activity. Results vary depending on your dose, consistency, and body response, but studies show significantly greater weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone.
Weekly weight-loss injections are clinically proven and safe when used under medical supervision. They work with your body’s natural hormones to reduce appetite, control cravings, and support steady, sustainable weight loss.
Most people tolerate weekly weight-loss injections well, though mild side effects can occur, especially in the first few weeks or when increasing your dose. Common symptoms include nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, fatigue, and changes in appetite.
To help your body adjust, our program includes high-dose supplements such as vitamin B12, D3, and CoQ10, formulated to reduce side effects and support energy levels as your dose increases month by month. Your Doctor will guide you through what to expect and provide personalised care to keep you feeling your best.
