The new website, www.glp-1nutrition.com, serves as a hub for nutritional support of individuals on a weight management journey, including those on GLP-1 therapy, offering nutrition information and a wide range of product options to support the unique nutritional needs of individuals on this treatment. In addition, glp-1nutrition.com offers expert nutrition insight, product bundling, and convenient product categories focused on meeting individuals' specific needs on their health and weight management journeys. The products, resources, and tools are provided across different categories including muscle preservation, gut health, micronutrient intake, hydration, skin and hair health, and weight rebound management.

Preserving Lean Muscle Mass: GLP-1 therapy, while aiding in weight loss, may lead to the loss of lean muscle mass due to a decrease in nutritional intake from a reduced appetite. Nestlé Health Science addresses this nutritional concern by offering products that support muscle health and maintenance. Brands, such as Garden of Life® and Boost®, provide high-quality protein options to help maintain and build lean muscle.

Supporting Gut Health: GLP-1 therapy can also affect gut health. Nestlé Health Science's range of products, including brands like Garden of Life® and Nature's Bounty®, offer options to provide dietary fiber supplements, probiotics, and prebiotics to support digestive health and mitigate issues such as occasional bowel discomfort.

Ensuring Adequate Micronutrient Intake: Individuals on GLP-1 therapy with reduced appetite and food intake, need to ensure they are getting the right macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibre) and micronutrients (essential vitamins and minerals). Nestlé Health Science's portfolio offers vitamins and minerals to help fill nutritional gaps and support overall health.

Staying Hydrated: GLP-1 medications can sometimes lead to reduced water and fluid intake which can further lead to dehydration. Nuun® products can help support proper hydration, which is especially important for those managing their weight and health, as hydration can influence metabolism and the body's ability to burn fat.

Improving Skin and Hair Health: The impact of GLP-1 therapy on the body can extend to the health and appearance of skin and hair. Nestlé Health Science's nutritional products provide key evidence-based nutrients to support skin and hair health.

Weight Rebound: Weight rebound is when you gain back weight that had previously been lost. It may be experienced by people who lose weight through calorie reduction, weight loss programs, or weight loss medications. It is important to adopt positive lifestyle changes if discontinuing weight loss medication. Incorporating exercise and healthy eating habits into a daily routine from the start of a weight management journey will help maintain weight goals over the long term. Incorporating low-carb, high-fiber, and protein-rich foods and dietary supplements into a balanced diet can help.

In addition to the categories and products mentioned above, 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 offers assistance with personalized diet, lifestyle, and supplement questions through Nutrition Coach. Finally, to provide a convenient and comprehensive experience, the platform offers product bundling, an easy way to select product depending on the nutrition-focused aspects of an individual's weight management journey.
