Southern California-based supplements brand youtheory has introduced a new line of GLP-1 Support products, which includes multivitamins, probiotics, and protein powder. This line is now available at various retailers, including Amazon, Sprouts, The Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, and the company’s website. The products were developed in collaboration with Dr. Louis Aronne, a recognized expert in weight management and GLP-1 therapy. The purpose of this new line is to assist individuals using GLP-1 medications or those reducing caloric intake for weight loss by addressing common nutrient deficiencies associated with these practices.
According to Matthew Taylor, the Senior Director of Insights & Innovation at youtheory, GLP-1 medications can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, and calcium. The GLP-1 Support supplements aim to mitigate these deficiencies, helping users maintain their energy and overall well-being during their weight loss journey.
Dr. Aronne, who leads the Comprehensive Weight Control Center and has authored multiple books on weight management, emphasizes the importance of addressing nutrient gaps that can occur with significant weight loss. He notes that the collaboration with youtheory was focused on creating products that optimize results while minimizing gastrointestinal challenges that may arise from weight management medications.
The initial offerings in the GLP-1 Support line include three products. The High Potency Multi is formulated to replenish essential vitamins and minerals lost during calorie reduction. The 2X Action Probiotic is designed to alleviate nausea and support digestive health. Lastly, the Muscle Guard Protein product aims to prevent muscle loss and support bone health while providing prebiotic fiber for gut health. Each product is tailored to support individuals in their weight loss efforts while ensuring they receive necessary nutrients.
