BRIDGEWATER, N.J., June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestlé Health Science, a global
leader in nutritional science, today announced the launch of its
innovative web platform, www.glp-1nutrition.com. This resource is
specifically designed to provide comprehensive nutritional support
for individuals on their weight management journey, including those
using GLP-1 medications. The launch of glp-1nutrition.com
reflects Nestlé Health Science's commitment to empowering
healthier lives through nutrition, offering a variety of
scientifically-based nutritional options created by experts to
complement an individual's weight management journey.
Nestlé Health Science, a globally managed business unit within
Nestlé, has been at the forefront of transforming health
management. With a rich history of scientific excellence and
innovation, Nestlé Health Science offers an extensive portfolio of
science-based consumer health, medical nutrition, pharmaceutical
therapies, and supplement products across the spectrum of lifespan
and health span. The company is committed to enhancing the quality
of consumers' lives by redefining health and wellness
solutions.
"The launch of this new innovative tool marks an important step
forward in the mission and focus of our business," stated
Anna Mohl, Chief Executive Officer
of Nestlé Health Science. "With this offering, we reaffirm our
commitment to empowering healthier lives through targeted,
personalized nutritional solutions. We are excited to continue
redefining health and wellness solutions and enhancing the quality
of life for those seeking effective weight management
strategies."
The new website, www.glp-1nutrition.com, serves as a hub for
nutritional support of individuals on a weight management journey,
including those on GLP-1 therapy, offering nutrition information
and a wide range of product options to support the unique
nutritional needs of individuals on this treatment. In addition,
glp-1nutrition.com offers expert nutrition insight, product
bundling, and convenient product categories focused on meeting
individuals' specific needs on their health and weight management
journeys. The products, resources, and tools are provided across
different categories including muscle preservation, gut health,
micronutrient intake, hydration, skin and hair health, and weight
rebound management.
These categories address key aspects of the weight management
journey for individuals, especially those using GLP-1
medications:
- Preserving Lean Muscle Mass: GLP-1 therapy, while aiding
in weight loss, may lead to the loss of lean muscle mass due to a
decrease in nutritional intake from a reduced appetite. Nestlé
Health Science addresses this nutritional concern by offering
products that support muscle health and maintenance. Brands, such
as Garden of Life® and Boost®, provide high-quality protein options
to help maintain and build lean muscle.
- Supporting Gut Health: GLP-1 therapy can also affect gut
health. Nestlé Health Science's range of products, including brands
like Garden of Life® and Nature's Bounty®, offer options to provide
dietary fiber supplements, probiotics, and prebiotics to support
digestive health and mitigate issues such as occasional bowel
discomfort.
- Ensuring Adequate Micronutrient Intake: Individuals on
GLP-1 therapy with reduced appetite and food intake, need
to ensure they are getting the right macronutrients (protein,
carbohydrates, fats and fibre) and micronutrients (essential
vitamins and minerals). Nestlé Health Science's portfolio offers
vitamins and minerals to help fill nutritional gaps and support
overall health.
- Staying Hydrated: GLP-1 medications can sometimes lead
to reduced water and fluid intake which can further lead to
dehydration. Nuun® products can help support proper hydration,
which is especially important for those managing their weight and
health, as hydration can influence metabolism and the body's
ability to burn fat.
- Improving Skin and Hair Health: The impact of GLP-1
therapy on the body can extend to the health and appearance of skin
and hair. Nestlé Health Science's nutritional products provide
key evidence-based nutrients to support skin and hair health.
- Weight Rebound: Weight rebound is when you gain back
weight that had previously been lost. It may be experienced by
people who lose weight through calorie reduction, weight loss
programs, or weight loss medications. It is important to adopt
positive lifestyle changes if discontinuing weight loss medication.
Incorporating exercise and healthy eating habits into a daily
routine from the start of a weight management journey will help
maintain weight goals over the long term. Incorporating low-carb,
high-fiber, and protein-rich foods and dietary supplements into a
balanced diet can help.
In addition to the categories and products mentioned above, the
website offers expert nutrition insights and a community platform
for individuals to share their experiences and support each other
on their health journey. GLP-1nutrition.com also offers assistance
with personalized diet, lifestyle, and supplement questions through
Nutrition Coach. Finally, to provide a convenient and comprehensive
experience, the platform offers product bundling, an easy way to
select product depending on the nutrition-focused aspects of an
individual's weight management journey.
Nestlé Health Science is committed to providing accessible
scientific-based guidance to help consumers reach their nutritional
goals. Nestlé Health Science's comprehensive GLP-1nutrition.com
site aligns with Nestlé's larger global mission of "Good Food, Good
Life" and Nestlé USA's recent
launch of VITAL PURSUIT. GLP-1 nutrition support is an integral
part of Nestlé's efforts to provide targeted nutritional
solutions and empower individuals to lead healthier lives.
