A comprehensive new study confirmed that GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro have myriad health benefits — even more than previously thought. Analyzing the medical records of roughly 2.5 million patients within the VA system, researchers at the Department of Veterans Affairs found that GLP-1 weight-loss drugs have an impact on a whopping 175 diseases and conditions.

The study bolsters other research that found GLP-1 medications aid in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease by reducing inflammation and in curtailing substance abuse by influencing dopamine levels in the brain.

But some of the results were unexpected, including how these drugs can help with things like blood clotting and infections.

If the NIH recommends & medical Journals suggest it and they get a kickback they will be happy to give you GMV(Gila monster Venom)
Brought to you by the same people that gave you Covid and the covid injections. 🤣

It's a PDE5 inhibitor IE:Viagra. I guess if you overdose on it would cause problems 🤣

I do Sam’s and Costco. Both at highest level memberships. Well worth it. On most days literally every bit of clothing I am wearing is from those two clubs. Being a member of both is about all my household needs for shopping

Semaglutide is synthetic Gila Monster venom peptides, so I’m not really joking. The side effects are horrendous and long-lasting.

And you’re right, they’ll happily inject you with it for $$.

Interesting. Thank you

Interesting but because it appears Ozempic is angling for market share against the growing number of competitors. This type of drug is proliferating fast. Victoza was the first of the group nearly 18 years ago. The patents are getting thin as well. When they end and generics become available the blush will be off the rose.
