The GLP-1 effect: Developing healthy solutions to fill nutrition and metabolic wellness gaps

Emergent consumer health needs adjacent to the GLP-1 medication phenomenon are prompting developers across product categories to consider healthy, natural solutions to support metabolic health and adjacent nutritional product opportunities. The GLP-1 medical approach to weight management continues to grow, and CPG brands that can effectively address metabolic wellness — along with consumer demand for appealing, nutrient-dense products for health maintenance — are poised for success. 

This session will include a short, by-the-numbers market opportunity overview and five- to seven-minute speaking presentations from sponsoring companies, followed by a moderated discussion with SupplySide leadership. Afterward, continue the conversation at the SupplySide Networking Pub for a mixer with speakers and attendees.
