Inflammation Fighters: Studies hint at its ability to calm fiery ailments like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's
It modulates inflammation by regulating the production of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) (Drge & Breitkreutz, 2000)
Now, to get the full benefit of this, you might need to experiment a bit with your intake timing
The primary mechanisms of action include: Enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner, meaning insulin is only released when blood glucose levels are elevated Suppressing glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, which reduces hepatic glucose production Slowing gastric emptying , which helps moderate post-meal blood glucose spikes Reducing appetite through central nervous system effects, leading to decreased caloric intake and weight loss Examples of GLP-1 receptor agonists available in the UK include exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza for diabetes, Saxenda for weight management), dulaglutide (Trulicity), lixisenatide (Lyxumia), and semaglutide (Ozempic/Rybelsus for diabetes, Wegovy for weight management)
