Research-Backed Ingredients

Every ingredient below has clinical evidence supporting its use — specifically for people in a caloric deficit on GLP-1 medications.

Muscle

myHMB™ Preserves Lean Muscle During Caloric Restriction

A meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials found that HMB supplementation significantly preserved lean muscle mass during periods of caloric restriction and weight loss — making it uniquely valuable for GLP-1 users.

Muscle

Whey Isolate Outperforms Concentrate for Muscle Protein Synthesis

Whey protein isolate has a higher leucine content and faster absorption than concentrate, leading to greater muscle protein synthesis — critical when eating less on a GLP-1 medication.

Tang et al., American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2009
Brain

Magtein® Crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier

Unlike other forms of magnesium, Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein®) has been clinically shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and increase brain magnesium levels, supporting cognitive function and mental clarity.

Slutsky et al., Neuron, 2010
Brain

Creatine Supports Cognitive Performance Under Stress

Research shows creatine supplementation improves cognitive performance, particularly under conditions of metabolic stress — like caloric restriction during GLP-1 weight loss.

Rae et al., Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2003
Gut

Probiotics Reduce GLP-1 Related GI Side Effects

Clinical studies show probiotic supplementation reduces the gastrointestinal side effects most commonly reported by GLP-1 users — including nausea, constipation, and bloating.

Plaza-Diaz et al., Nutrients, 2019
Skin

Collagen Peptides Improve Skin Elasticity and Hydration

A double-blind placebo-controlled trial found that hydrolyzed collagen peptide supplementation significantly improved skin elasticity, hydration, and reduced wrinkle depth — directly addressing "Ozempic face."
