Skinny jabs, GLP-1 injections, or weight loss medications – there are so many names for the famed medical obesity treatments sweeping the world right now. As the research improves and more options become available, it’s no wonder everyone is wondering how medications like the newest medication, Mounjaro, can benefit them on a weight loss journey.
However, with more and more stories being released every week of online weight loss jabs going badly wrong, it’s more important than ever to get the facts straight to know which medical weight loss injections are legitimate and which should be avoided.
Medications prescribed by qualified and regulated healthcare professionals within fully supported weight loss programmes like those at Bodyline Clinics are one of the only fully trusted providers, and we want to explain why.
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro, also known as tirzepatide, is a revolutionary and unique weight loss medication. It is self- administered in the form of a once a week weight loss injection
It contains dual-acting incretin hormones GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). It mimics the effects of these natural hormones in the body, which are generally released following mealtimes, to promote feelings of fullness and satiety.
Mounjaro supports weight health by regulating blood sugar levels, slowing digestion, reducing appetite, promoting weight loss through reduced caloric intake and resetting your metabolism for long term weight loss and improved overall weight health. Thanks to its incredible weight results, with up to 25%* body weight loss and promising impact on obesity, it has recently been approved by MRHA in UK to treat of obesity.
GIP and GLP-1 play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, controlling appetite, and aiding in insulin production. Medications that encourage these mechanisms were initially produced to treat type 2 diabetes, but in clinical trials they were seen to produce incredible weight loss results.
As of November 2023, Mounjaro has been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to be prescribed for the treatment of obesity in the UK. That means that regulated healthcare providers and prescribers are allowed to prescribe the use of Mounjaro for those with a BMI of 30 and above, classed as obese, and those with a BMI of 27 and above, classed as overweight but with weight health related problems.
How do GLP-1 GIP injections like Mounjaro work?
Weight loss injections like Mounjaro work by activating GLP-1 GIP receptors in the body. Injecting GLP-1 GIP receptor agonists produces more of the hormone in the body, therefore boosting ability to regulate blood sugar levels, slow down digestion, reduce appetite, and therefore promote weight loss.
Mounjaro’s unique formulation and dosage make it a powerful tool in the field of weight loss, surpassing the effectiveness of other GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Clinical trials comparing it to competitor semaglutide (also known as Ozempic or WeGovy) saw that those taking tirzepatide lost on average 5.7kg (12.6lbs) more than users taking semaglutide. That’s almost a stone in difference! Additionally, it has been seen to be superior in the control of blood sugar levels.
