New Research Shows Semaglutide May Improve Sense of Taste

Recent research presented at ENDO 2024 suggests that Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, may improve taste sensitivity and alter the brain's reward response to sweet tastes. WebMD reports this could be another way these medications help people change their food preferences and lose weight.

The study involved 30 women with obesity, some of whom received Semaglutide while others received a placebo. Those on Semaglutide showed improvements in taste sensitivity and the renewal of taste buds on the tongue. They also experienced increased activity in a brain area that provides feedback about reward when exposed to sweet tastes.

While more research is needed to confirm these findings and their long-term impact, this study adds another dimension to our understanding of how Semaglutide works and its potential benefits for weight loss.
