The exact ingredients can vary between brands, but GLP-1 patches typically contain a combination of natural extracts and vitamins , like: berberine (the main active ingredient, thought to support GLP-1 release) green tea extract cinnamon extract mint pomegranate extract a selection of vitamins None of these are clinically approved for weight loss , and the amounts absorbed through the skin are not well studied or proven to be effective
GLP-1 Receptor Modulation Appetite Regulation and Glucose Control Activation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors by GLP3 contributes to multiple metabolic effects observed in clinical studies[6]: Delayed gastric emptying , resulting in prolonged satiety and reduced meal size Suppression of appetite through actions on hypothalamic feeding centers Enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from beta cells Inhibition of glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells during hyperglycemic states Potential neuroprotective effects through central nervous system GLP-1 receptor engagement Phase 1b studies in humans with type 2 diabetes confirmed that GLP3 significantly delays gastric emptying, with effects persisting throughout the 12-week treatment period, suggesting limited tachyphylaxis development compared to some other GLP-1 receptor agonists[7]
The injection site should be clean and dry
Humans are also genetically programmed to prefer highly palatable, calorie-dense foods that fuel survival (2)
