Are you interested in semaglutide weight loss but dislike needles?

If so, we have amazing news. 

Instead of a weekly shot, you can use a convenient weekly sublingual instead.

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. 

Sublingual semaglutide is a liquid medicine you take by placing it under your tongue. It is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes. This method bypasses the digestive system, potentially offering several advantages over traditional delivery method of injections or oral tablets. Semaglutide liquid medication is placed under the tongue once weekly for 120 seconds. It is recommended not to eat or drink 30 minutes before or after the dose for optimal absorption under the tongue. 

Besides offering needle-free convenience, this revolutionary option also provides a range of benefits for individuals seeking an effective and convenient method to lose weight.

Benefits of sublingual semaglutide:

  1. No needles! Convenience and comfort: Sublingual administration offers a non-invasive and easy-to-use alternative from the commonly promoted injections.

  2. Increased bioavailability: Sublingual delivery can enhance the bioavailability and thus the effectiveness of semaglutide by avoiding the first-pass metabolism in the liver, which can degrade the medication when taken orally.

  3. Rapid Onset of Action: Medications absorbed sublingually can enter the bloodstream more quickly than those absorbed through the digestive system, potentially leading to a faster onset of action.

  4. Reducing gastrointestinal side effects: By bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, it may reduce common side effects associated with oral semaglutide, such as nausea and vomiting.

  5. Losing weight often helps to relieve some kinds of pain, especially pain in the lower weight-bearing extremities like hips, knees, ankles and feet. (*see Harvard Health article below).

  6. Appetite control. Semaglutide sublingual plays a crucial role in controlling appetite by helping individuals regulate their food intake. 

  7. Cardiovascular benefits. In addition to its role in weight management, semaglutide may offer additional cardiovascular benefits. Results from one study found that semaglutide reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke compared to a placebo. (*see New England Journal of Medicine article below.)

  8. Customizable weight loss. Sublingual Semaglutide can be customized to meet the needs of each individual. A personalized plan is created based on the individual's current health status and weight loss goals, allowing for greater success.
