Mounjaro works by targeting two key hormone pathways involved in appetite and glucose regulation.

• Activates GLP-1 receptors to increase satiety
• Activates GIP receptors to enhance metabolic response
• Reduces hunger and food cravings
• Lowers overall calorie intake
• Supports sustained weight loss and glycemic control

This dual mechanism makes Mounjaro highly effective for long-term weight management.
