How They Work:

Wegovy or Semaglutide/Vitamin B6

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 agonist that increases insulin secretion. In higher doses, Semaglutide acts on centers in the brain and suppresses appetite.

Vitamin B6 assists in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids and it helps make antibodies. Combining B6 with semaglutide reduces unwanted gastrointestinal side effects.

Tirzepatide/Vitamin B6

Tirzepatude acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors as a receptor agonist which helps lower blood sugar. Tirzepatide signals to the brain that the stomach is full and slows the movement of food through the stomach, resulting in eating less and feeling fuller.

Vitamin B6 assists in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids and it helps make antibodies. B6 helps combat unwanted side effects like gastrointestinal problems.
