Prebiotic chicory root fiber support with weight loss medications use

Obesity and overweight remain persistent chronic conditions that adversely affect peoples’ lives. Increasingly, medications intended for type 2 diabetes (GLP-1RAs medications) are being utilized as anti-obesity or weight loss treatments and significantly influence an individual’s weight, longer term health and appearance. However, these drugs may also result in side effects impacting gut health, muscle mass, and overall nutrition. Chicory inulin and oligofructose may aid individuals experiencing various side effects from these new medications and, in general, help with weight management.

GLP-1RAs medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, marketed under brand names including Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro, and others under development, are becoming more popular for weight loss purposes in the United States and rest of the world. As with most medications there are pros and cons, and GLP-1RAs do have side effects in patients such as poor gut health, increased muscle loss and micronutrient deficiencies. Here is where chicory root fiber formulated into nutritious and wellbalanced foods may support the patients’s intestinal environment and their general well-being.
