Science-Backed Solutions for the GLP-1 Era  

GLP-1 medications (e.g., Ozempic and Wegovy) are on the rise, with 12% of U.S. consumers already using them and 32% actively aware of their potential.  

While these drugs have gained popularity by helping people lose weight, up to 50% of consumers face gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Muscle loss due to reduced appetite and nutrient absorption is also a critical concern.  

For forward-thinking formulators and brands, this creates a dual opportunity: address GI discomfort and support muscle retention with targeted, science-backed ingredients. 

The GLP-1 Challenge – GI Distress & Muscle Loss 

GLP-1 medications slow digestion and suppress appetite, but their side effects often undermine adherence and lead to many consumers discontinuing use.  

  • 40–70% experience GI issues, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhea 
  • 86% struggle to meet protein needs, increasing the risk of muscle atrophy and metabolic slowdown 

These challenges are fueling demand for companion products that support current GLP-1 users, as well as those who have stopped taking the medications.  

Promotes Gastrointestinal Relief 

Backed by 14 studies, SEBiotic® (Bacillus coagulans LBSC) is a spore-forming, soil-based (SBO) probiotic that would make a great addition to any companion product for GLP-1. 

  • Shown in studies to support a reduction in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort  
  • Promotes a healthy and balanced gut microbiome 
  • Shelf-stable and acid-resistant, ensuring viability through manufacturing and digestion 

SEBiotic® has received an FDA GRAS No Objections Letter and NPN and claims from Health Canada, demonstrating its safety and efficacy. 

Boost your GLP-1 companion product with SEBiotic®—ideal for supplements, foods and beverages to promote digestive comfort and support a reduction in side effects and consumer adherence. 

Combat Muscle Loss with Precision Protein Support 

For muscle retention, a top concern for GLP-1 users, DigeSEB Sport™ offers support.  

DigeSEB Sport™ 

  • Promotes optimal protein digestion and nutrient absorption 
  • Supports an increased rate of amino acid release and absorption for muscle synthesis  
  • Promotes postbiotic production to support gut-skin-brain axis health, healthy inflammation levels and muscle building   

Ideal for high-protein products, including protein powders, bars and ready-to-drink shakes, DigeSEB Sport™ helps your consumers get the most out of the protein they eat, without the adverse side effects often associated with high protein intake.   

Strategic Opportunity for Formulators 

With 12% of the population having taken GLP-1s and obesity concerns growing, companion products are no longer optional; they’re essential.  

Incorporating SEBiotic™ and DigeSEB Sport™ into your products allows you to 

  • Stand out in a crowded market with clinically validated ingredients 
  • Target dual consumer needs – GI comfort + muscle support 

Future of the GLP-1 Companion Market 

The future of weight management isn’t just about medications; it’s about holistic support systems. With SEBiotic® for GI relief and DigeSEB Sport™ for protein digestion, you can deliver transformative solutions that keep consumers coming back for more.
