What is a Slimming pen?
The active ingredient in Slimming pens is Dulaglutide, a medication that enhances the secretion of satiety hormones, which are naturally occurring substances in the body, not new or foreign chemicals.
Increasing activity of satiety hormone makes the body feel full even when only a small amount of food has been consumed, causes food to remain in the stomach longer, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness and reduced hunger.
