The GLP Booster by NotCo taps into the rise of GLP-1 medications but takes the form of a botanical powder and a food-based precursor to weight loss drugs. The powdered product touted as "a natural blend that turns any product into a GLP-1 booster" can be added to any food to encourage satiety and replicate some of the effects of GLP-1 medications.
“GLP-1 isn’t just about hunger. It’s a metabolic regulator that affects insulin signalling, digestion, and muscle retention. While these drugs reduce caloric intake, they don’t distinguish between fat loss and muscle loss—a critical factor for long-term metabolic health," explained Matias Muchnick, co-founder and CEO of NotCo.
This innovation from the AI-driven food tech company appeals to people who are wary about the side effects of GLP-1 medications.
