Why choose Mounjaro?
Mounjaro has a unique approach to weight loss, as it targets two key pathways in the body. Here’s how it works:¹- Reduces appetite: Mounjaro helps to control hunger by affecting hormones that signal fullness, so you feel satisfied with less food.
- Boosts insulin sensitivity: It improves how your body uses insulin, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable and prevents energy crashes.
- Increases adiponectin levels: This hormone plays a role in regulating glucose levels and breaking down fatty acids, further supporting weight loss.
- Long-lasting effects: With a half-life of five days, Mounjaro stays active in your system, allowing for convenient once-weekly injections.
- Proven Results: Clinical studies have shown weight reductions of 16.5% to 22.4% over 72 weeks, even in patients without diabetes.
