GLP-1 medications work by regulating your appetite and helping you feel full for longer. However, weight loss on these medications can sometimes lead to the loss of both fat and muscle, and other side effects that affect your well being. Just as probiotics are often recommended with antibiotics, GPs now suggest pairing Formulite with GLP-1s like Ozempic® or Mounjaro®. Formulite products are designed to ease common side effects, helping you stay comfortable, nourished, and on track.
Muscle mass plays a key role in your metabolism and overall health. While you might be losing weight, it’s essential to preserve your muscle tissue to keep your metabolism active and efficient. At Formulite, we believe that maintaining muscle should be part of every weight loss plan, and our products are designed to help you achieve that goal.
Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. If you’re not getting enough protein, your body may break down muscle tissue for fuel, which can undermine your progress. Exercise, particularly strength training, also helps preserve muscle mass as you lose weight. Combining protein intake with regular exercise is the key to keeping your muscles strong and your metabolism working efficiently.

Packed with high-quality protein, 24 vitamins, and minerals, these meal replacements ensure you’re not missing out on any essential nutrients during your weight loss journey.
Constipation can be a common side effect of GLP-1 medications. Our Lupin Soups are rich in dietary fibre with over 7 g to help your digestive system function smoothly, so you can feel your best while you lose weight.
If you’re looking to lose weight without compromising on your health, our low-calorie Meal Replacements are ideal.
