GLP-1 agonists are reshaping appetite and influencing how consumers choose foods and beverages. As many consumers eat fewer meals and smaller portions, they are looking for nutrient-dense options that support satiety and daily nutrition.
We have ingredient solutions that support the “GLP-1-friendly” consumer trend. Azelis Food and Nutrition US can help you formulate products aligned with three key priorities: high protein, prebiotic fiber, and low sugar.
Give us a call and let us help you formulate GLP-1 friendly products.
Build High-Protein Products for Smaller Portions
GLP-1 usage is linked with reduced food intake, so consumers increasingly want essential nutrition in compact formats. Maintaining muscle mass is also a concern, with some studies showing a significant share of weight loss tied to lean mass.

Ingredient solutions include:
- Pea Protein (PISANE® pea protein isolates, concentrates, and crisps)
