SoWell debuts supplement system for GLP-1 users
SoWell is unveiling GLP-1 Support System, a three-part supplement system designed specifically for GLP-1 users and their side effects.
Alexandra Sowa, board-certified obesity medicine specialist, and forthcoming author of 'The Ozempic Revolution,' developed this product from a decade of GLP-1 research and patient care to specifically meet the unique needs of individuals on a GLP-1 weight loss journey.
Despite 50% of GLP-1 users experiencing side effects, individuals are left to navigate an overwhelming assortment of supplements that are not specifically formulated to their body's new sensitivities or needs, the company said, noting that currently, 1 in 8 Americans are using Ozempic or similar GLP-1 drugs, yet over 70% of users stop taking these life-changing medications within one year largely because of side effects they find too hard to navigate.

This three-part supplement system is based on the latest clinical research and the founder's decade-long experience working with GLP-1 patients. The SoWell GLP-1 Support System is formulated to target the unique side effects and requirements of GLP-1 users, providing comprehensive support to ensure a sustained and simplified journey on GLP-1 drugs.
The product can be sold as a bundle of all three stick pack supplements, retailing for ($104.99) or available individually for flexibility: SoWell Electrolytes ($34.99), SoWell Protein ($44.99), and SoWell Fiber ($34.99).
The SoWell GLP-1 Support System extends far beyond an electrolyte, protein and fiber supplement, combining 17 evidence-based ingredients that alleviate side effects like nausea, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, muscle loss, weakened skin elasticity, and hair loss, all in easy-to-use stick packs, the brand touted. The entire system is low sugar, low carbohydrate, and free of artificial flavors, colorings or sweeteners, the company said.
The company provided the following product details:
- Full GLP-1 Support System: Includes the SoWell Electrolytes, SoWell Protein and SoWell Fiber.
- SoWell Electrolytes: This daily electrolyte formula helps GLP-1 users maintain healthy hydration levels while simultaneously addressing nausea and fatigue with targeted ingredients like vitamin B6 and trace minerals. Since GLP-1 users can be sensitive to artificial and overly sweet flavors, this blend features a light, natural flavor with 0 g sugar and 1 g carb.
- SoWell Protein: By combining 25 g whey isolate and collagen protein with digestive enzymes, this low-carb protein powder helps GLP-1 users maintain muscle mass, skin elasticity and hair density as they lose weight without the digestive upset that other protein powders can cause.
- SoWell Fiber: GLP-1 medications slow the digestive process, which can lead to constipation and diarrhea. This triple-action blend of psyllium husk, guar gum, and apple pectin fiber works quickly to balance digestion while promoting long-term gut health. Enhanced with magnesium glycinate and 7.5 billion CFU probiotics, this one-of-a-kind formula gives GLP-1 users the gut support they need with 0 g sugar and 1 g net carb per serving.

"As a physician specializing in internal and obesity medicine, I have spent over a decade working with GLP-1 patients and understanding their unique needs and challenges," Sowa said. "But other products on the market didn't meet my standards and weren't developed for GLP-1 users. There is a critical gap in the market when it comes to addressing the side effects and specific requirements of GLP-1 users on their weight loss journey. The SoWell GLP-1 Support System is designed to support and enhance the effectiveness of GLP-1 therapies while helping users achieve their health goals more comfortably and effectively."
