CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B&D Nutritional Ingredients, Inc., a raw material distributor in the dietary supplement industry and exclusive U.S. distribution partner to CarnoSyn® Brands and Natural Alternatives International, Inc. (“NAI”), today announced its customer, Kelker Pharma, will launch NUTRILINQ™ Genesis, touted as the first science-backed nutritional support system for GLP-1 medication users.
With the growing demand for GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, a high percentage of medication users are experiencing temporary and long-term side effects from these rapid weight loss methods. Kelker Pharma developed an easy-to-use system to fill nutritional gaps from extreme caloric deprivation during GLP-1 treatments. These nutritional gaps can cause gas, bloating, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, dehydration, sagging skin (commonly referred to as “Ozempic® Face”), muscle loss, hair loss, lack of energy, and more, which can lead to serious long-term adverse effects if not supplemented with essential nutrition.
NUTRILINQ™ Genesis connects nutrition to a rapid weight loss program for a healthier weight loss journey. The system addresses other common pain points associated with rapid weight loss including bloating, fatigue, a compromised immune system, brittle nails, hair loss, and muscle deterioration. With just three capsules and two concentrated powders daily, the system can be used after the GLP-1 treatment or weight loss goal is achieved for nutritional maintenance.
Jim Ayres, CEO of Kelker Pharma, shared the inspiration behind the formulation process, "We are looking forward to the late December launch of NUTRILINQ™, which was developed to help the majority of people who are experiencing negative effects from rapid weight loss, to enhance their experience while using GLP-1 medications. All formulas are based on scientifically validated key ingredients that have been studied in the areas of the targeted application for each formula. TriBsyn™ was selected as a key ingredient in NUTRILINQ™ Muscle, Bone & Joint (MBJ) powder formula based on its scientifically proven claims to improve muscle vitality, muscle working capacity, and cognitive performance. With its advanced Hydro Oleo technology and carnosine-boosting effects, TriBsyn™ has emerged as a unique supplement to help counterbalance muscle mass loss and performance challenges faced by individuals using GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs for weight loss.”
Bill Van Dyke, B&D President, added, “My team and I are thrilled to see the imminent launch of this new solution for those challenged by GLP-1-induced muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies. It is essential to address the potential side effects and NUTRILINQ™ Genesis fills that gap with science-backed ingredients like TriBsyn™, which offers a comprehensive solution for GLP-1 users for muscle preservation and strength, muscle fatigue reduction, and cognitive support.”
