You may have been hearing a lot about Semaglutide and its recently discovered weight loss benefits. So, what is it exactly? Semaglutide was first approved in 2017 to help control blood sugar in Type 2-diabetes. With more research, the FDA approved Wegovy in 2020, an injectable, for weight loss. A study in 2018 found that participants lost an average of almost 15% of their original body weight.
So, what is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide works a few different ways. It helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is elevated. It also slows the movement of food through the GI tract, which in turn decreases appetite, therefore causing weight loss. It also mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates our hunger.

Besides eating foods high in nitric oxide, the two most common nitric oxide supplements are L-arginine and L-citrulline. You can also find supplements that use specific natural blends, such as Berkeley Life.
What is Nitric Oxide good for?
Because NO has shown to relax and widen blood vessels, it can be used for several different things.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Limited blood flow to the sex organs can be responsible for symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Nitric Oxide can help increase blood flow to the genitals. While you may be taking a PDE5 inhibitor, like Viagra and Cialis, these medications do not create Nitric Oxide in the body. If there is little to no Nitric Oxide available, it is possible that circulation of blood flow is not sufficient enough for sexual
