Maunjaro
Other Health Benefits of Mounjaro in addition to Weight Loss
Cosmex Weight Management Clinic in Cambridge.
1. Blood Sugar Control
Mounjaro, is highly effective at improving glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Maunjaro:
- Prevents post-meal spikes: By slowing gastric emptying, they help avoid the sharp blood sugar increases often seen after meals.
- Enhances insulin sensitivity: It stimulates insulin release in response to meals, helping maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
- Reduce fasting glucose: Many patients experience significant reductions in their HbA1c levels, a marker of long-term glucose control.
This blood sugar control reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications, including neuropathy, retinopathy, and kidney disease.
2. Cardiovascular Protection
Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that Mounjaro can:
- Lower the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE): These include heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular-related death.
- Improve lipid profiles: Mounjaro can help reduce LDL (“bad cholesterol”) and triglycerides while improving HDL (“good cholesterol”). It has also been useful in reducing the prevalence of sdLDL particles, which some doctors consider to be the main source of plaque build up.
- Reduce blood pressure: Many patients also see improvements in their blood pressure levels, further protecting their heart health.
- Anecdotally: We have seen patients who have been able to reduce the level of other medicines e.g. Statins, which can be beneficial for reducing side effects.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation is a common thread in many conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Maunjaro has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the risk of:
- Atherosclerosis: Inflammation contributes to plaque buildup in arteries.
- Chronic joint conditions: Reduced inflammation can benefit those with osteoarthritis or other joint-related issues.
4. Improvements in Liver Health
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common complication of metabolic syndrome. Emerging evidence suggests that Mounjaro, can:
- Reduce liver fat accumulation.
- Improve liver enzyme levels, such as ALT and AST.
- Potentially slow the progression of NAFLD to more severe forms like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
5. Enhanced Mental Wellbeing
While the link between Mounjaro and mental health is still being explored, some patients report improvements in mood and cognitive function. This could be due to:
- Changes to the gut microbiome: Changes in the gut microbiome that results from slower food digestion and possibly a change in diet can have a direct affect upon mental health.
- Improved metabolic health: Better glycemic control and reduced inflammation positively influence brain function.
- Direct effects on the brain: GLP-1 receptors are present in the central nervous system, suggesting potential neuroprotective benefits.
6. Kidney Protection
Maintaining kidney health is critical for individuals with diabetes or hypertension. Mounjaro may protect kidney function by:
- Reducing proteinuria (protein in the urine), a key indicator of kidney damage.
- Lowering blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health, which indirectly benefit kidney health.
