What Is GLP-1 Support?
GLP-1 Support is a doctor-formulated daily supplement — not a medication and not a prescription. It's a delayed-release vegetarian capsule with three clinically studied probiotic strains plus prebiotic fiber, formulated to support the gut bacteria that influence your body's own natural GLP-1 production.
What It May Help With
- Maintaining balanced blood sugar
- Gut microbiome diversity
- Gut barrier integrity
- Fewer post-meal energy dips and cravings
- Everyday digestive comfort
What's Inside
Active ingredients (per capsule):
| Ingredient | Amount | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Chicory Root Inulin | 211 mg | Prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial bacteria |
| Potato Resistant Starch | 100 mg | Fermentable substrate that builds bacterial diversity |
| Probiotic blend | 36 mg | See strains below |
Probiotic strains in the blend:
- Akkermansia muciniphila — gut-barrier probiotic linked to GLP-1 secretion and glucose tolerance
- Bifidobacterium infantis — calms gut inflammation; supports immune balance
- Clostridium butyricum — produces butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that fuels the gut lining
Other ingredients: hypromellose (vegetarian capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica.
How to Take It
Take one capsule daily with 8 oz of water, with or without food. Keep it away from heat, light, and humidity; refrigerate after opening to keep the probiotics at full strength.
What to Expect Over Time
| Timeframe | What you may notice |
|---|---|
| Week 1–2 | Digestive comfort improves; possible mild gas (usually settles by day 5–7) |
| Week 3–4 | Post-meal energy stabilizes; flatter glucose response |
| Month 2 | Cravings soften; more reasonable hunger between meals |
| Month 3 | Microbiome diversity building; steadier blood sugar |
| Month 6 | Established gut foundation; sustained digestive comfort |
| Month 12 | Maintenance phase for bacterial diversity |
Who It's For
- People taking a prescription GLP-1 (semaglutide or tirzepatide) who want to support gut health during treatment
- People with creeping fasting glucose looking for non-prescription support
- People whose progress has stalled despite healthy habits
- Anyone who wants a microbiome-first approach to metabolic health
Who Should NOT Use It
- Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding
- People who are severely immunocompromised or on immunosuppressive therapy
- Anyone who recently took IV antibiotics or has an active C. difficile infection
- Anyone under 18 years old
- People expecting prescription-level weight loss
- Anyone with a known allergy to the ingredients
Side Effects
Most people tolerate it well. The most common short-term effect is mild gas, bloating, or changes in bowel movements in the first 5–7 days as your gut bacteria rebalance — this usually resolves on its own. If digestive discomfort lasts longer than the first week, check with your doctor.
Quality & Testing
- Made in the USA at a cGMP-certified facility
- Third-party tested for identity, potency, microbial contamination, and heavy metals
- Cold-shipped in temperature-controlled packaging

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this make me lose weight? No — it's not a weight-loss medication. It's a dietary supplement that supports gut health as part of a healthy lifestyle. If your goal is weight loss, a clinician may recommend a prescription GLP-1.
Can I take it with semaglutide or tirzepatide? Yes. Many CoreAge Rx GLP-1 patients take it alongside their prescription specifically to support gut health during treatment.
Does it replace prescription GLP-1? No. Prescription GLP-1 medications work by directly activating hormone receptors and produce strong, clinically validated effects. This supplement instead supports your body's own gut-derived GLP-1 production through targeted probiotics and prebiotic fiber.
Do I need a prescription or a consultation? No. GLP-1 Support is an over-the-counter dietary supplement — no prescription or consultation required.
How quickly will I notice results? Digestive changes often show up within 1–2 weeks; broader changes in energy, cravings, and microbiome diversity typically build over 2–3 months.
Do I need to refrigerate it? Refrigeration after opening is recommended to keep the probiotics at their label-claim strength through the 30-day supply.
