- Follow the gradual dose-escalation plan provided by your clinician to improve tolerability and help limit side effects.
Potential side effects
GLP-1 injections may cause nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting. To help manage symptoms while your body adjusts, eligible patients may add a fast-acting anti-nausea medication.

Why GLP-1s
Natural hormone breaks down in minutes. GLP-1s last days.
Natural GLP-1 lasts ~2 minutes
Every time you eat, your gut releases a hormone called GLP-1 that signals fullness, triggers insulin release, and slows digestion. An enzyme called DPP-4 destroys it within 1 to 2 minutes.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are lab-engineered versions of this hormone, modified to resist DPP-4 breakdown and stay active long enough to sustain appetite control and blood sugar regulation.

The result: half-lives ranging from 2.5 hours to approximately 7 days — up to 5,000 times longer than the natural hormone.

How GLP-1 RA works
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors throughout the body.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the GLP-1 hormone produced in the gut. Receptors are located in the brain, gut, heart, and pancreas, where activation supports appetite regulation, blood sugar balance, and metabolic function.
Activates GLP-1 receptors
GLP-1 is a hormone your gut produces naturally, lasting only 1-2 minutes. GLP-1 receptor agonists are engineered to activate the same receptors for days instead of minutes, providing sustained appetite regulation and metabolic support.
Preserves benefits
Research suggests that low-dose semaglutide can activate longevity-relevant pathways including moderate weight loss, glycemic control, and liver health.
Reduces side effects
Side effects from semaglutide are dose-dependent. In clinical trials, dropping from 2.4 mg to 1.0 mg reduced the rate of digestive side effects by 6% (absolute reduction).

What is Semaglutide Microdose?
Low-dose semaglutide is an emerging therapeutic for patients who experience side effects at standard doses. Early research suggests it may preserve the same longevity-relevant mechanisms as higher doses, including glycemic control, liver health, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
How do you take Semaglutide Microdose?
Semaglutide Microdose is available in a weekly injectable form. Your provider will determine which medication and dose is appropriate for you. Always follow instructions from your doctor.
What are the side effects of Semaglutide Microdose?
Higher doses of semaglutide are associated with more side effects. At full dose, the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, and fatigue. Lower doses and slower titration can reduce the frequency of these side effects.
Who shouldn't take Semaglutide Microdose?
Not recommended for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2. Your doctor will evaluate whether Semaglutide Microdose is appropriate for you.
