• Gastrointestinal issues according to the labels for Wegovy© and Ozempic©, the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhoea vomiting, constipation and abdominal pain.
• Loss of muscle mass: Studies have shown that Semaglutide can cause a loss of muscle mass. Maintain your muscle to boost weight wellness efforts after discontinuing medication.
• Decreased nutrient intake: Semaglutide decreases appetite by up to 35% making it difficult that food intake doesn't lead to a lack of vital nutrients + vitamins.
• Weight regain (after discontinuing medication)
• Cellulite + Skin Laxity

Years ago, a gut hormone called GLP-1 was found to send hunger reducing signals to the brain. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these drugs were found to be weight loss enhancers thanks to their appetite suppressing affects.

E.g. Dulaglutide (Trulicity®) and semaglutide injection (Ozempic®, Wegovy®)

Your body produces GLP-1 itself, and there are ways to ramp up it's production naturally.

The best ways are: 

Diet + exercise

Research shows exercise can increase GLP-1 levels by up to 50%. From a diet perspective, your gut microbiome plays the key role. 

1. Prebiotic and fiber rich foods are "eaten" by microbes in your gut.

2. Microbes break the fiber down, releasing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.

3. Butyrate is one of the body's most important metabolite for stimulating GLP-1

How it works

1. Prebiotic and fiber rich foods are "eaten" by microbes in your gut.

2. Microbes break the fiber down, releasing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.

3. Butyrate is one of the body's most important metabolite for stimulating GLP-1

What fibers stimulate GLP-1 production?

The foods you eat need to "feed" your gut with certain prebiotic fibres if you want to stimulate GLP-1 production and better control your appetite. 

Examples include:

• Inulin: Found in chicory root, garlic, onions, and asparagus.
• Resistant Starch: Found in foods like unripe bananas, cooked and cooled potatoes, and certain whole grains.
• Beta-glucan: Found in oats, barley, and some mushrooms.
• Pectins: Found in fruits like apples, citrus fruits, and berries.
• Gums: Found in foods like beans and seeds (e.g., guar gum, xanthan gum).

But getting enough of these fibre types through food alone is though.

Enter one of the world's strongest "GLP-1 agonist" prebiotics: SOLNUL®

SOLNUL® is a trademarked form of resistant starch prebiotics. It improves blood sugar balance, slow digestion (reducing hunger for longer) and helps to increase the hormone GLP-1, which helps to lower appetite and maintain blood sugar. SOLNUL® can be found in Supergut Protein.
