Mounjaro like Ozempic is an Incretin. These are produced naturally when we eat to help the body deal with the increase in sugar when we have carbohydrates. They also act on the brain to reduce our appetite along with our craving for food and they slow the stomach from emptying which makes us feel fuller longer.
