GLP-1 medications like Ozempic drive weight loss—up to 15% in a year (JAMA, 2021)—but constipation can clog your progress. At SeraVia Health, GLP Gut+ Balance and GLP Hydration+ Restore get you moving. Let’s explore why it happens, how to manage it, and why our supplements are your fix, with science leading the charge.
Why GLP-1 Causes Constipation
GLP-1 slows gastric emptying and gut motility by 20-30% (Diabetes Care, 2020), aiding fullness but stalling digestion. A Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology study (2021) found 25-30% of users report constipation, worsened by lower food and fluid intake—key drivers of bowel regularity (Gastroenterology, 2019).
Constipation’s Toll
It’s more than discomfort—bloating and irregularity sap energy and motivation, risking GLP-1 adherence (Clinical Nutrition, 2020). A sluggish gut also slows metabolism, countering weight loss (Gut Microbes, 2018)—you need relief fast.
Effective Solutions
Get regular with these tips:
- Up Fiber: 25-30 g daily—think oats or broccoli—softens stool (Nutrition Reviews, 2019).
- Hydrate Hard: 8-12 cups water daily—GLP-1 dehydrates (Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2018).
- Move More: 20 min walks stimulate bowels (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2017).
- Time Meals: Consistent eating cues your gut (Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020).
