Understanding GLP-1 Medications

GLP-1 receptor agonists, initially designed for type 2 diabetes, are now used for weight management due to their appetite-suppressing and glucose-regulating effects. These medications work by slowing digestion and promoting a sense of fullness, helping individuals achieve weight loss while supporting overall metabolic health. GLP-1s have quickly become popular, but as with any major health change, the body needs added support to handle rapid weight changes without sacrificing muscle or energy levels.

The Downsides of GLP-1s: Muscle and Energy Challenges

While effective, GLP-1 medications can lead to muscle loss during weight loss. Lean muscle is essential for maintaining metabolism and energy, and losing it may leave you feeling fatigued or less active. Another consideration is skin health, as some people notice reduced firmness or elasticity. These effects can make the weight loss journey more challenging – but supportive supplements (like Mitopure®) can help you maintain muscle strength (studies show up to +12% in 16 weeks*), steady energy, and skin resilience.

How Mitopure® Supports Muscle Health

Mitopure® (Urolithin A) supports mitochondrial function, vital for cellular energy and muscle strength. By stimulating the production of new mitochondria, Mitopure® helps increase muscle mass during weight loss, which is especially beneficial for those on GLP-1s. Keeping your muscle strength intact can improve endurance and make it easier to stay active, even as you shed pounds, helping you feel fit and resilient throughout your health journey.

How Mitopure® Supports Energy and Vitality

Low energy can be an issue for some GLP-1 users, but Mitopure® helps by enhancing cellular energy. By boosting mitochondrial health, it supports natural energy production, allowing you to feel more energized and steady throughout the day.

How Mitopure® Supports Glowing Skin 

Mitopure isn't just for muscle and energy – it also benefits skin health. When applied topically, it helps visibly reduce wrinkles and fine lines in 2 weeks, increases collagen production, and helps keep skin firm, resilient, and glowing. The skin often responds to rapid weight loss (ever heard of Ozempic face?) but Timeline's skincare powered by Mitopure assists in maintaining your natural glow and elasticity. Timeline’s Skin Health Prestige Box includes the brand’s Day Cream, Night Cream, and The Serum, and we’re big fans of pairing it with Timeline’s Mitopure® Softgels.
