The GLP-1 Support System

You probably already know that GLP-1 medications suppress appetite, but did you know that they are known to suppress thirst too?

Dehydration makes nausea and vomiting—the most common GLP-1 side effects—worse. GLP-1 medications already slow down your digestive system, and dehydration can make this gastric emptying process even slower, leading to worse side effects. 

And if you happen to be one of the 5-10% of users struggling with diarrhea or vomiting on your medication, you’ll need to replenish your fluids even more rapidly. Thankfully, prioritizing fluid intake (and supplementing with electrolytes) can help. 

Our electrolyte powder is the only one that is designed specifically for GLP-1 users, and is enhanced with vitamin B6 for nausea.

One of the benefits of GLP-1 medications is that they slow gastric emptying, making you less hungry overall. But if you don’t change your eating habits, you’re more likely to suffer from side effects like nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or vomiting because of this reason.

To avoid GI distress while taking a GLP-1 medication, you’ll need to reduce the volume of food you eat to avoid feeling uncomfortably full or dealing with an upset digestive system.

This is different from traditional dieting advice, which tells you to fill up on high-density, low-volume foods. On GLP-1 medications, the goal is not to “fill up” in the same way since the medication is slowing your digestive system down.

Don’t get us wrong, fruits and vegetables are great. But for anyone getting used to being on a GLP-1 medication, getting enough calories from nutrient-dense sources is important and can be more difficult. That’s why anyone on a GLP-1 medication should first focus on protein, which packs a bigger nutritional punch without overloading your digestive system.

We created SoWell Protein to make it easy for GLP-1 users to quickly and easily fuel up with the protein they need. Unlike other protein powders, it’s SUPER gentle on the gut: made with lactose-free whey protein isolate and enhanced with digestive enzymes that kick in quickly and help your system digest your food for up to 24 hours. The best part? It’s less than 3g of carbs and won’t spike blood sugar.

GLP-1s cause slowed gastric emptying, which can be both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side—it’s one of the reasons you’re not as hungry on these medications. But you don’t want things to slow down too much, or you’ll suffer from uncomfortable side effects like bloating and constipation.

That’s where fiber comes in. Experts recommend increasing both fiber and water for anyone on a GLP-1 medication to help pass waste effectively and comfortably.

But that’s not the only reason fiber is excellent for GLP-1 users. Fiber has been shown in many studies to lower the risk of excess weight, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and/or heart disease. Which—aren’t these the reasons you’re on a GLP-1 in the first place? It’s a win-win.

If you’re thinking, “Oh, I’m probably eating enough fiber in my diet,” keep in mind that only 5% of Americans are meeting adequate intake levels of fiber to reap the benefits—and GLP-1 users need the right kind of fiber even more than most! 

We created SoWell Fiber to make it easy for GLP-1 users to get the perfect type and amount of fiber they need to avoid constipation and diarrhea on GLP-1 medications. Unlike other fiber powders, it’s made with three types of fiber—plus probiotics and magnesium glycinate—that work together to balance your gut and digestion. Our testers favorite part? The delicious, natural-tasting apple cinnamon flavor.

Since all GLP-1 agonists, including compounded and brand versions, slow gastric emptying, their side effects are similar. The support system is designed for anyone on any GLP-1 agonist medication.

You'll feel your best when you take daily! If you're on a GLP-1 medication, it's likely that you're already investing a lot into your health. This system is designed to be used daily to help you get the most of that investment—and so you can feel your best, especially if and when you increase your dose.

Consistency is key to getting the most benefits from these supplements, especially when it comes to long-term gut health, maintaining muscle mass, and supporting hair density and skin elasticity.*

We want these formulations to pack in the most benefit with the least amount of effort on your end. That's why we chose to create these supplements in powder form—we're able to pack in more ingredients and more benefit in each dose.

Plus, since GLP-1 users often struggle to drink enough water, we created these to be mixed with water to help you hit your hydration goal daily.

Stick packs allow you to travel and take your habits with you anytime anywhere!
