Rising demand for these types of drugs, which mimic key hormones that tell us to feel full, have led to severe shortages of GLP-1s in recent months
391 GLP-1 and GLP-1 analogs exert their effects on food intake and body weight through a myriad of neural substrates, encompassing several hypothalamic nuclei (including the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, periventricular hypothalamus, and lateral hypothalamic area), hindbrain nuclei (such as the parabrachial nucleus and medial nucleus tractus solitarius), the ventral subregion of the hippocampus (vHP), and nuclei embedded within the mesolimbic reward circuitry (including the ventral tegmental area, VTA, and nucleus accumbens, NAc)
It is important to note that there is no official recommendation for routine supplementation for all patients on GLP-1 medications
Most gastrointestinal side effects, including changes in bowel frequency, are most pronounced during initial treatment or dose escalation and typically improve significantly within 4-8 weeks as your body adapts to the medication
