Notably, GHK-Cu levels decline with age : young adults may have around 200 ng/mL in plasma, but levels fall by more than half by age 60
Therefore, there appear to be as yet unknown pathways by which metformin can acutely increase GLP-1 secretion
Liraglutide (the active ingredient in Saxenda and Victoza) and semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic) are two of the most studied options, and while they work through the same pathway, they differ in dosing, potency, side effects, and the kind of support they offer over time
The total amount of weight that each individual patient can lose while on Ozempic also is determined by various factors such as how closely they follow all aspects of the weight loss program, how well their body responds to the medication, how much weight they have to lose to start with, and how long they are able to continue taking the medication safely
