Functional Foods vs GLP-1s in Weight Management
Functional ingredients are emerging as a potential alternative to GLP-1 drugs in weight management, challenging the pharmaceutical approach.
GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a natural hormone released after eating, stimulating insulin production and signaling fullness to the brain.
GLP-1 is actually a natural hormone in the body that’s released after eating and helps stimulate insulin production and signal to your brain that you are full.
Weight loss medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) use high doses of GLP-1 agonists to artificially lower blood sugar and slow digestion.
This shift towards functional foods may revolutionize food and beverage innovation, offering a new approach to addressing the obesity epidemic.
