Your weight-management journey should be nourishing and empowering, for realistic, healthy results.
Current estimates suggest that around 64% of adults are now classified as overweight or obese. In response, growing numbers of people are turning to repurposed diabetes medications, with many choosing to pay privately for GLP-1 weight-loss injections such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro.
How do GLP-1 medications work?
While GLP-1 medications seem highly effective at reducing body fat, they do not come without significant costs. Essentially, they 'trick' the body into thinking that you already have sufficient or excessive energy, increasing metabolism, shutting down food intake and digestion, and inhibiting detoxification.
Simply by reducing overall intake of food, there is a risk of insufficient nutrition of certain macronutrients (such as low protein and leading to potential muscle loss) or too few micronutrients. If you are using weight-management medications, there are some really important and useful supplements to consider, to reduce possible negative impacts on your health.
Gut and Detoxification Support
Fos-A-Dophilus Probiotic
A good probiotic can help to maintain the balance of gut bacteria and reduce constipation. Probiotics are useful for managing digestive issues, supporting immune health, and maintaining gut health.
Fos-a-dophilus also works well with our PreBio Restore, to promote a healthy gut environment.
Cyto-Zyme
Reduced digestive enzymes and bile may increase maldigestion, while also changing the balance of gut bacteria that may lead to bloating.
By facilitating the breakdown of food into its basic components, digestive enzymes ensure optimal absorption of nutrients, which is vital for overall health.
Liver Health
You may wish to consider liver support containing milk thistle, dandelion, and artichoke to ensure good detoxification and bile flow.
Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs
Vitamin D3 + K2 Spray
Changes to digestive enzymes may also impact levels of essential fats and fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin D.
Our convenient sprays are a great alternative to tablets or capsules, for easy, flexible dosing.
Advanced Multi
The ultimate, optimum potency multivitamin & mineral with additional targeted nutrients to support energy production, hormone balance, detoxification, and antioxidant protection. Plus, high levels of B12 and vitamin A, which may be low in people taking weight-loss injections.
B12 Spray
Reduced stomach function increases risk of vitamin B12 or mineral deficiency, inadequate protein digestion, and gastro-oesophageal reflux.
