Supplement manufacturer NOW has released a new GLP-1 Metabolic Support dietary supplement. The product is designed to support the body's natural metabolic response to food.
Why it matters
Growing awareness of the GLP-1 hormone's function in metabolic health has led to an increased interest in nutritional products that may influence these pathways. This release introduces a new option for consumers seeking supplemental support for their metabolic habits.
Manufacturer-reported study data indicates that the active ingredients result in 61% higher basal GLP-1 levels and a 13% greater post-meal increase in GLP-1 compared to baseline. The clinical significance of these increases and the efficacy of the proprietary blend in humans remain unverified.
The players
NOW
A manufacturer of dietary supplements and natural products.
The details
The supplement contains a blend of 500 mg of Metabolaid—a combination of lemon verbena leaf and hibiscus flower extracts—along with 250 mg of berberine HCL and 222 mg of Reducose. Reducose, derived from white mulberry leaf, works by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which slows down the digestion of carbohydrates. These ingredients are intended to support the body's natural GLP-1 hormonal response after eating.
Timeline
NOW released the GLP-1 Metabolic Support supplement on October 21, 2026.
Health Landscape
This product represents a consumer-market expansion into metabolic pathways that have previously been the primary focus of clinical, prescription-grade GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. The supplement aims to provide nutritional support for these pathways in the broader metabolic health market.
Before introducing new supplements into your routine, it is worth discussing the ingredients with your physician to ensure they do not interact with existing treatments. Because this supplement is intended to impact metabolic processes, monitor your body for any changes and consult a doctor regarding your specific metabolic health needs.
The takeaway
While this supplement targets pathways involved in metabolic health, it is not a substitute for clinical treatments. Always consult your healthcare provider before adding new supplements to your daily regimen, especially if you have an underlying metabolic condition.
