Natural Peptides Versus Semaglutide: A Safer Approach to Obesity Management

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper highlights that while semaglutide is effective for weight loss, it is associated with significant side effects, high cost, and muscle loss. In contrast, natural peptides such as BRP, BPC-157, and MOTS-c demonstrate promising anti-obesity effects with fewer adverse outcomes, improved safety profiles, and potential affordability making them attractive candidates for future therapeutic development.
