GLP-1 Agonist Side Effect Support Bundle

GLP-1 is an incretin hormone produced in the gut in response to meals, stimulating insulin release, delaying gastric emptying, and promoting satiety. GLP-1 agonist medications, originally developed for type 2 diabetes, are now used for weight loss due to their appetite-suppressing effects. However, side effects like nausea, vomiting, and GI discomfort are common, requiring supportive interventions.

• Ginger (500 mg twice daily): Effective for reducing nausea from medications, shown to decrease nausea and vomiting by up to 40% in clinical trials.
• Probiotics (60 billion CFU of L. acidophilus NCFM & B. lactis Bi-07): Helps alleviate GI symptoms like bloating and diarrhea, reducing discomfort by over 50% in studies.
• Protein (24g, 1–2x daily): Supports muscle preservation during weight loss, with evidence showing increased lean mass and fat reduction.
• Creatine (3–5g daily): Proven to increase muscle mass and reduce fat during resistance training, with creatine monohydrate being the most effective and economical form.
• Multivitamin (daily): Addresses common nutrient deficiencies seen in weight loss regimens, such as vitamins A, D, B-complex, and magnesium, which are difficult to meet through diet alone.

This protocol aims to support healthy weight management while mitigating potential side effects of GLP-1 agonist use through targeted nutritional support.
