Fast-Acting Cardiovascular Benefits
According to new data from the SELECT trial, people with obesity or overweight and a history of heart disease saw up to a 41% reduction in serious heart events—like heart attacks and strokes—within just 3 to 6 months of starting semaglutide. That’s before most participants reached the full dose, and before major weight loss had even occurred.
Let that sink in: the heart benefits kicked in before the pounds came off.
Why This Matters for You
If you’ve struggled with weight and have a history of heart issues, this is a game-changer. Many weight loss medications only show benefits after months of dieting and lifestyle changes. Semaglutide appears to work faster and on multiple fronts—helping regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, improve blood pressure, and support your heart almost from the start.
