Supporting the GLP-1 Journey with SEBiotic® & SlimSEB™

Supporting the GLP-1 Journey with SEBiotic® & SlimSEB™

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are reshaping weight management. The results are undeniable—but the side effects are too. That’s why companion solutions aren’t optional anymore. They’re essential.

Why Gut Health Matters with GLP-1s

GLP-1 agonists slow digestion, which helps with weight loss but can also lead to issues. Up to 70% of GLP-1 users deal with nausea, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
These side effects don’t just create discomfort; they can lead to dropout, derail outcomes and erode consumer trust.

For brands, the opportunity is clear: provide support that keeps consumers on track, and you gain loyalty that lasts.

A Market on Fire

Right now, 6% of adults in the U.S. take a GLP-1 drug. Millions more are considering them. By 2035, the market is projected to triple—jumping from $4.1 billion to $13 billion.

This growth creates massive demand for companion products that help consumers stay comfortable, nourished and committed to their weight management journey.

Science-Backed Gut Support

SEBiotic® (Bacillus coagulans) is a shelf-stable, spore-forming probiotic backed by 14 clinical and in vitro studies. Unlike more fragile probiotics, SEBiotic® is shelf and heat-stable, and survives the journey through the GI tract in greater numbers to confer health benefits in your final formulation.

Key Benefits

  • Supports overall gut health
  • Promotes a balanced gut microbiome
  • Survives heat, processing & storage
  • Withstands stomach acid in greater numbers
  • Non-GMO Project verified
  • Kosher & Halal certified

Clinical Results That Matter

SEBiotic®  doesn’t just look good on paper—it delivers.

Clinical studies demonstrate

  • Abdominal Relief: 63% of participants in the test group reported complete resolution of discomfort in 5 days vs 13% in the placebo group
  • Constipation Resolution: improvement for 98.6% of study participants
  • IBS Symptom Reduction: Significant improvements in bloating/cramping (78%), diarrhea/constipation (64%) & abdominal pain (80%)

Regulatory Confidence

After a rigorous scientific review of its safety and efficacy, SEBiotic® was granted a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) No Objections Letter from the FDA.

Following an evaluation of extensive scientific evidence, Health Canada approved the following NPN (Natural Product Number) claims for SEBiotic®:

  • Helps to relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as abdominal pain, bloating, cramping and nausea
  • Helps support a healthy gut flora
  • Source of probiotics
  • Supports the maintenance of digestive health

This combination of clinical evidence and regulatory trust makes SEBiotic® a standout for brands aiming to support GLP-1 users.
