What are GLP-1 Agonists Medications?

GLP-1 medications aid weight loss by mimicking a hormone that regulates blood sugar, reduces cravings, and promotes fullness. However, they can also decrease essential nutrient intake, disrupt digestion and result in muscle loss from reduced protein intake.

How Shaklee Products Can Provide Support

Fill Your Nutrient Gaps: Appetite suppressants, like GLP-1 medications, cause you to eat less. When you eat less, you may consume fewer essential nutrients.

  - Vita Lea Gold with K
  - Vita Lea Gummy
  - Vita Lea Men
  - Meology^® Adult

Lose Fat & Keep Lean Muscle: ^† Weight loss can lead to muscle loss. Because muscle burns more calories than fat, retaining lean muscle by getting enough protein and leucine helps you reach and maintain a healthy weight.
