If Pendulum GLP-1 Probiotic Pro can meaningfully increase natural GLP-1 production, the downstream anti-inflammatory benefits could extend well beyond appetite control
Oral formulations have a shorter half-life.[ref] In clinical trials, GLP-1 RAs improved lipid profiles, increased satiety, slowed gastric emptying, reduced inflammation, and had neuroprotective effects.[ref] The slowing of gastric emptying and reducing inflammation may play a role in weight loss, along with the decrease in appetite and eating less
Retatrutide is an investigational triple agonist that simultaneously activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, enhancing insulin secretion, suppressing appetite, increasing energy expenditure, and promoting hepatic fat oxidation
