Originally, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) was meant for people dealing with type 2 diabetes. However, it has since expanded and has become a potential alternative for people dealing with obesity.
For those who may not be aware, GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in the gut that regulates blood sugar and appetite. There is no question that these are key factors when it comes to weight-loss initiatives. However, there are still critical clinical and research gaps in structured nutritional guidance for its use, per Nature.com.
