00:00Could Ozempic be a miracle drug for more than just weight loss?
00:04A new study suggests that the Novo Nordisk-made drug may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's.
00:11The drug's active ingredient, somaglutide, was linked to a 40 to 70 percent lower risk of first-time Alzheimer's disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
00:23The reduction was observed when compared to seven other diabetes medications, including insulin.
00:29Further research also suggests that other GLP-1 drugs like Monjaro or ZepBound may also benefit the brain.
