Cardiovascular Protection Research Recent studies confirm significant cardiovascular benefits beyond metabolic effects
A paper recently published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES) even describes how GLP-1RAs might be used to treat alcohol and drug addictions
Previous experiments have found that exendin-4 could reduce the pain-induced neuro-inflammatory response through the GLP-1R pathway, thereby promoting the recovery of cognitive function in mice (100)
These split into two categories: GLP-1 boosters (fiber, probiotic, and metabolic blends that claim to increase your body's own GLP-1 production) and GLP-1 companion vitamins (nutrient formulas for people already on prescription GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy)
So, you use your muscle pump when you're moving your arm, that helps clear out the lymphedema
Indeed, in pre-clinical models, retatrutide, a triple agonist (GLP-1/GIP/glucagon), resulted in greater WL and improved glucose profile compared to tirzepatide through increased energy expenditure and reduced calorie intake [80, 81]
