What Is a GLP-1? And Why Patients Are Turning to Compounded Semaglutide

If you’ve been hearing more about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, there’s a good reason: these groundbreaking therapies are changing the way we approach weight loss, metabolic health, and long-term wellness.

So, What Is a GLP-1?

GLP-1

stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a natural hormone your body makes that plays a key role in regulating blood sugar, insulin, and appetite. GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide) mimic this hormone, helping your body:

• Reduce appetite and cravings

• Improve insulin sensitivity

• Stabilize blood sugar levels

• Support sustainable weight loss

  
  

Originally developed to manage Type 2 diabetes, these medications have now become a go-to tool for medical weight loss and are widely praised for their life-changing results.

Why Go Compounded?

Brand-name GLP-1 medications can be expensive and hard to find. That’s where compounded semaglutide comes in. Compounding pharmacies prepare customized medications, often at lower cost, with tailored dosing that can better fit your body and goals.

Benefits of compounded GLP-1s include:

• Lower cost than commercial brands

• Flexible dosing for individual needs

• More consistent access amid national shortages

• Personalized care and practitioner oversight

  
  

At NeuVitality Buford, we believe access to powerful treatments shouldn’t be limited by cost or brand-name supply issues.
