Shaklee Support for Those Taking GLP-1 Agonists Medications

According to Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab in Halifax, roughly between 900,000 and 1.4 million Canadians have taken a GLP-1 medication, which means chances are you are talking to someone who is either taking a GLP-1 medication or considering it!1

The great news is that Shaklee Nutrition can provide nutritional and functional support for your customers while on these popular medications.

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

Support Gut and Digestive Health1: GLP-1 medications slow the digestive process and can disrupt the gut microbiome. This may lead to stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation.

Supporting Products:

  • Optiflora® DI
  • EZ-Gest®
  • Optiflora Prebiotic
  • Optiflora Probiotic
  • Herb-Lax®

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.

Supporting Products:

  • Vita-Lea® With Iron
  • Vita-Lea Without Iron
  • Vita-Lea Gold With Vitamin K
  • Vita-Lea Gold Without Vitamin K
  • Vitalizer™ With Iron

Lose Fat and 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.

Supporting Products:

  • Life Shake™ Plant Protein – French Vanilla
  • Life Shake Soy Protein – Strawberry
  • Advanced Physique®, Whey Shake, Grass-Fed Source – Chocolate
  • Shaklee 180® Meal-in-a-Bar – Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip
  • Shaklee 180 Snack Bar – Toffee & Chocolate Crunch
