The ResM GLP-1 Postbiotic is designed to integrate GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) into its formulation to help modulate critical gut hormones, promoting digestive wellness and improved metabolic balance. According to ResBiotic, the supplement enhances GLP-1 levels and metabolism, offers weight management support, reduces cravings and promotes healthy blood sugar balance.
ResM is non-GMO, sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and contains all-natural ingredients. It is available for purchase on the resbiotic website starting from $39.
“We wanted to use the findings from our drug partners and determine a way to naturally boost GLP-1,” said Dr. Vivek Lal, MD, founder of ResBiotic. “We wanted to use formulations which not only improve the efficacy of GLP-1 but which do other things right from the metabolic control standpoint.”
ResM is formulated with a proprietary blend of fenugreek fiber and white mulberry, well-studied ingredients for glucose metabolism, Dr. Lal said. The individual ingredients have multiple clinical trials to demonstrate how they work.
“We don’t include any ingredient in our formulation which has not been clinically trialed extensively,” he said.
Still, a supplement is not a drug. Dr. Lal noted that no supplement can claim to be as good as the GLP-1 peptide, but the weight-loss drugs have side effects. Many consumers are deterred from taking the drugs because of those considerations and more.
“There are some people who can’t afford the drugs,” Dr. Lal said. “So how do we, on a daily basis, boost our GLP-1, maintain our weight, maintain our glycemic index and more. ResM is not a replacement, but it is an adjunct.”
R&D
ResBiotic’s portfolio also includes ResG prebeet Energy + prebiotic, which promotes heart and circulatory support, reduces bloat and gas and boosts GLP-1s. The company’s first product, ResB, is a probiotic which assists in lung health.
Resbiotic spent several years developing ResB.
“It taught us what to do and what not to do, more importantly, and how to do things fast,” Dr. Lal said. “Now we are very certain we can come up with unique science-backed products with one year of R&D.”
It took one year to develop ResM. ResBiotic is the first company to use a GLP-1 postbiotic, he added.
“It’s a proprietary postbiotic which we have extensively studied now,” Dr. Lal said. “Comparing it with various probiotics, the postbiotic enhances GLP-1s very prominently in human cellular studies. The rationale of using a postbiotic in ResM and not a probiotic was so that we could include other ingredients and combine in a way that is stable. The formulation is stable.”
