SoWell Launches Product that Bio-Hacks Against GLP-1 Side Effects

GLP-1 Drugs Like Ozempic will now be more tolerable thanks to SoWell’s latest launch

SoWell, the metabolic health supplement distributor, is providing some extra balance for those riding the Ozempic wave.

The brand is launching a three-part GLP-1 support system that mitigates GLP-1 side effects to help users stay on the medication. The Ozempic market is currently valued at $10 billion, according to SoWell. One in every eight Americans also takes Ozempic/GLP-1s for reasons beyond weight loss, such as alleviating other illnesses, according to a KFF Health Tracking poll from May of this year.

This support system aims to assist that demographic, as SoWell also reports that 70% of users stop taking their GLP-1 medication after just one year due to limited help addressing its side effects. One of the most common setbacks stemming from GLP-1 usage is the loss of lean muscle mass.

“If weight loss is a goal, regardless of the intervention, it’s crucial to have the best tools and the right information to ensure beneficial and lasting results,” said Dr. Rekha Kumar, speaking on her strength training program for people experiencing weight loss from GLP-1s. “The last thing we want to see is people experiencing weight loss with medication while also losing muscle and decreasing their cardio-metabolic fitness in the process.”

SoWell combats that and more with this support system based on clinical research from founder Dr. Alexandra Sowa’s decade-long experience working with GLP-1 patients. The product includes 17 ingredients said to dilute side effects brought on by GLP-1s, such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, weakened skin elasticity, hair loss and muscle loss.

“As a physician specializing in internal and obesity medicine, I have spent over a decade working with
GLP-1 patients and understanding their unique needs and challenges,” said Dr. Sowa. “But other products on the market didn’t meet my standards and weren’t developed for GLP-1 users. There is a critical gap in the market when it comes to addressing the side effects an specific requirements of GLP-1 users on their weight loss journey. The SoWell GLP-1 Support System is designed to support and enhance the effectiveness of GLP-1 therapies while helping users achieve their health goals more comfortably and effectively.”

The system breaks down into three parts: SoWell Electrolytes, SoWell Protein and SoWell Fiber. SoWell Electrolytes mainly targets nausea and fatigue with Vitamin B6 and trace minerals. SoWell Protein focuses on maintaining muscle mass, skin elasticity and hair density with whey isolate, collagen protein and digestive enzymes while SoWell Fiber promotes long-term gut health and balances the digestive process with psyllium husk, guar gum and apple pectin fiber.

All are available separately or packaged together. They are all low-sugar, low-carbohydrate and possess zero artificial flavors, coloring or sweeteners.

This launch from SoWell comes at a pivotal time, as GLP-1 suppliers are growing in accordance with the increased demand. Hims & Hers Health made the medication available to consumers earlier this summer. Ivim at Work even just launched a GLP-1 corporate wellness program .
