The drug Ozempic belongs to the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist class
Due to its dual-action mechanism, some people may experience more pronounced gastrointestinal symptoms compared to semaglutide, he says
Type of GLP-1s available: Are brand-name GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro offered
MOTS-C and Retatrutide are not known to interact negatively with standard supplements including multivitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, protein powder, or common pre-workout ingredients
The delayed gastric emptying from GLP-1 can, however, affect the metabolism and efficacy of certain oral sedatives, as well as precipitate an increased risk of aspiration under twilight sedation
Whether declining MOTS-c is a cause or consequence of this deterioration is still being resolved, but the correlation is striking enough that some researchers have proposed plasma MOTS-c as a biomarker of mitochondrial vitality and metabolic age
