About Gelesis
Gelesis Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GLS) (“Gelesis”) is a
consumer-centered biotherapeutics company and the maker of
Plenity®, which is inspired by nature and FDA cleared to aid in
weight management. Our first-of-their-kind non-systemic
superabsorbent hydrogels are made entirely from naturally derived
building blocks. They are inspired by the composition and
mechanical properties of raw vegetables, taken by capsule, and act
locally in the digestive system, so people feel satisfied with
smaller portions. Our portfolio includes Plenity® and potential
therapies in development for patients with Type 2 Diabetes,
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)/Non-alcoholic
Steatohepatitis (NASH), and Functional Constipation. For more

Plenity® is indicated to aid weight management in adults with
excess weight or obesity, a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25–40 kg/m²,
when used in conjunction with diet and exercise.
