GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the gut that helps control hunger. When we consume food, numerous appetite hormones are released. Some of these hormones signal to your brain to keep eating (like ghrelin), while others ( such as GLP-1) communicate feelings of fullness and satiety. This reduces appetite and helps you eat less, making it easier to control your weight!
Also, GLP-1 plays a big role in reducing inflammation in the gut, slowing down gastric emptying time, and stimulating insulin release, which thereby regulates blood sugar.
