Unlike the natural GLP-1 hormone, semaglutide is a modified analog with non-natural amino acid substitutions at positions 7 and/or 8, which improve its stability and resistance to enzymatic breakdown

The vascular protective effects of liraglutide were associated with improved plaque stability (14), attenuated endothelial cell dysfunction (14, 15), reduced ICAM-1 expression in the aortic endothelium (12, 15), decreased leukocyte rolling on the endothelium and infiltration of myeloid cells into the vascular wall (13, 16), suppressed foam cell formation (13), and inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation (10)

That is already 60% more weight loss than semaglutide produces in a similar timeframe

And it costs a fraction of the price of branded versions
