New website, Learn moreserves as a nutritional support hub for individuals working on weight management, including those undergoing GLP-1 therapy, providing nutritional information and a wide range of product options to support the unique nutritional needs of individuals undergoing this treatment. Additionally, glp-1nutrition.com offers expert nutritional insights, product bundles and convenient product categories focused on meeting the specific needs of individuals in their health and weight management efforts. Products, resources and tools are offered across a variety of categories, including muscle maintenance, gut health, micronutrient intake, hydration, skin and hair health and weight rebound management.
Maintaining Lean Muscle Mass: Although GLP-1 therapy aids in weight loss, reduced nutrient intake due to decreased appetite can lead to a loss of lean muscle mass. Nestlé Health Science addresses this nutritional concern by offering products that support muscle health and maintenance. Brands such as Garden of Life® and Boost® offer high-quality protein options that help maintain and build lean muscle.
Supports Gut Health: GLP-1 therapy also impacts gut health, and Nestlé Health Science product lines, including brands such as Garden of Life® and Nature’s Bounty®, offer fiber supplements, probiotics and prebiotics options to support digestive health and alleviate issues such as occasional intestinal discomfort.
Ensuring adequate micronutrient intake: People on GLP-1 therapy who have reduced appetite and food intake need to ensure they are getting the right macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibre) and micronutrients (essential vitamins and minerals). The Nestlé Health Science portfolio contains vitamins and minerals that can help fill nutritional deficiencies and support overall health.
Hydration: GLP-1 medications can lead to decreased fluid and liquid intake, which can further lead to dehydration. Nuun® products support proper hydration, which is especially important for those managing their weight and health, as hydration impacts metabolism and fat burning ability.
Improved Skin and Hair Health: The impact of GLP-1 therapy on the body extends to the health and appearance of skin and hair. Nestlé Health Science nutritional products provide key evidence-based nutrients to support skin and hair health.
Weight rebound: Weight rebound is the regain of previously lost weight. It can occur in people who have lost weight through calorie restriction, weight loss programs, or weight loss medications. If you stop using weight loss medications, it is important to make positive lifestyle changes. Incorporating exercise and healthy eating habits into your daily routine from the beginning of your weight management journey can help you maintain your weight goals in the long term. Incorporating low-carb, high-fiber, and high-protein foods and supplements into a balanced diet can help.
In addition to the above categories and products, the website offers expert nutrition insights and a community platform for individuals to share their experiences and support each other on their health journey. GLP-1nutrition.com also answers personalized diet, lifestyle and supplement questions through its Nutrition Coach. Finally, to provide a convenient and comprehensive experience, the platform offers product bundles that make it easy to choose products according to the nutrition-focused aspects of an individual’s weight management journey.
