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.
Mounjaro has an extra component compared to medication like Ozempic. The extra component is another type of Incretin called GIP and we know that recent trials have shown that patients lose more weight with Mounjaro than other Incretins. It was shown that on 10mg of Mounjaro patients lost up to 20% of their body weight compared to 3% on placebo with most of the weight lost in the first 6 months
20% weight loss in a patient weighing 20 stone is 4 stone. The average drop in waist circumference was 7 inches which is equal to 7 notches on a belt. Most of this weight loss was in the first 6 months. These improvements can be life-changing and lead to tremendous health benefits.
The patients in the studies also had support from health professionals while the trials were progressing and we think this is essential to successful weight loss and that is exactly what we offer in The Reduce Clinic.
