GLP-1 Nutrition

The term ‘GLP-1 supplement’ is often used online as a product that claims to boost GLP-1 hormone levels or replace medication. The products in this range are not claiming this - our GLP-1 Friendly range is a collection of nutritionally complete shakes and supplements recommended by our nutritionists to support the dietary needs of anyone on GLP-1 medication.

Here at Protein Works, we have a wide range of shakes, foods, snacks and supplements. The products listed on this page are the ones that are recommended by our nutritionists for anyone on GLP-1 medication.

If you are someone who is struggling to eat nutrient-dense foods due to a loss of appetite, the products in this range offer a delicious and convenient way to achieve your required daily levels of protein, fibre, carbohydrates and essential vitamins & minerals.

Protein is probably the most important macronutrient when on a GLP-1 diet. Protein is our expertise, having worked with it for almost 15 years. We source the finest proteins from around the world and manufacture our products in a state of the art facility in the UK. Each shake not only contains premium grade protein, but also we ensure multiple types of protein are included for a comprehensive formula. All these shakes are high protein and will be a vital support if you are on GLP-1.

All the shakes listed here have over 160 health benefits approved by the EU. For example, the meal shakes are all high in fibre which includes the prebiotic Inulin. Fibre supports gut health and helps you feel fuller for longer. They are also low in sugar and contain 24 vitamins and minerals to support your overall nutrient intake when taking GLP-1 medication.

These shakes are ideal for anyone currently on GLP-1 medication, acting as nutritional support in key areas of deficiency that can occur when you're not consuming your normal food intake. We recommend having at least one shake per day whilst on the diet.

As our shakes are designed for anyone who wants to boost their nutrient intake all year round, we would certainly recommend you continue taking our shakes even when you stop GLP-1. In fact, both protein and fibre can help you feel fuller for longer which in turn can help you maintain your weight more effectively.

Whilst some people on GLP-1 report feelings of nausea, thankfully our shakes don't have that effect. They come in a range of delicious flavours and sizes so you can choose what works best for you by ordering a range of flavours in small sizes, and even choose a selection of products to discover what works best for you.

Nutritionists suggest prioritising nutrient-dense foods above all others when following a GLP-1 programme, starting with protein. As our products are in liquid form and nutrient-dense, they are often far easier to consume than typical food.

The most reported and concerning deficiencies are usually Vitamins B12 and D, plus Iron and Calcium. Our GLP-1 friendly shakes contain all of these elements in carefully recommended amounts.

Whilst a meal replacement offers you the most rounded nutrition in our range, a high protein shake can also be a great option to complement your GLP-1 journey. Packed with electrolytes to support hydration, probiotics to help promote a healthy gut and digestive enzymes to help your digestion, a nutritionally-complete protein shake is a lighter, but also a very effective means to increase your nutritional intake.

Yes, they are ideal for anyone currently on any GLP-1 programme.
