Recent scientific findings suggest that the weight-loss drug Ozempic, also known as semaglutide or Wegovy, may have the potential to slow down the biological ageing process. Researchers have hailed the drug for its 'remarkable' ability to treat the underlying causes of a range of diseases, which could extend beyond its initial use for weight loss. The drug is believed to curb the effects of ageing and has been described as offering a 'fountain of youth.' In addition to its anti-ageing potential, Ozempic is also noted for reducing the risk of death in overweight individuals with heart disease. These findings have sparked significant interest in the broader health benefits of weight-loss drugs.
