Natural Approach to GLP-1 Activation Proves Effective Without Common Side Effects*
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeVantage Corporation (Nasdaq: LFVN), a leader in health and wellness solutions designed to activate optimal health processes at the cellular level, today announced groundbreaking results from a human clinical trial performed on the new MindBody GLP-1 System™. Results from the trial included a 140% average increase in GLP-1 levels in the body leading to an average weight loss of 9 pounds in 8 weeks and up to 25 pounds in 12 weeks in participants. Ω ‡
Production of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) in the body declines due to age, poor diet, stress, or other lifestyle factors. The decline can cause cravings, false hunger, and weight gain. The MindBody GLP-1 System uses naturally-sourced ingredients to directly activate natural GLP-1 production in L-cells, supporting that activation indirectly by optimizing the gut microbiome to create short-chain fatty acids and fuel production. Ω*
The 12-week human clinical trial began in early June 2024 and set out to investigate if, through these mechanisms of action, the MindBody GLP-1 System could holistically and sustainably increase GLP-1 hormone levels in overweight adults, without unwanted side effects.*
The study was conducted by independent researchers at Lighthouse Research. Sixty subjects ages 31-78 years with a BMI≥25 were randomized into three groups: a control group with no product use, a group using the MindBody GLP-1 System without diet and exercise guidelines, and a group using the MindBody GLP-1 System with diet and exercise guidelines.
Subjects were evaluated every 4 weeks. Visits included anthropometric and biometric measurements, before and after photographs, food behavior questionnaires, and blood work for GLP-1 analysis.
Key 12-week findings from the human trial include:
- 140% increase of GLP-1 on average Ω
- 92% of participants lost weight, with an average of 11 pounds ‡
- 92% saw a reduction in total body fat, with up to a 5.5% decrease ‡
- 71% experienced a reduction in visceral fat, with up to a 27% decrease ‡
- 100% of subjects who lost weight (92% of total subjects) maintained or saw an increase in muscle %, with up to a 2.7% increase ‡
- No side effects were reported, including gastrointestinal issues*
- 85% agreed their food cravings decreased*
- 95% agreed their sugar cravings decreased*
- 96% agreed their portion sizes at each meal decreased*
- 85% agreed they now eat for health, not emotional reasons*
- 82% felt more in control of their relationship with food*
The clinical trial builds on successful in vitro research, which found that the MindBody GLP-1 System significantly increased GLP-1 production in L-cells by activating key genes. The in vitro study also revealed a 38% reduction in DPP-4 gene expression, allowing more GLP-1 to remain active within the body, and a 53% increase in GLP1R expression, which promotes the creation of GLP-1 cell receptors, further enhancing the body's ability to use GLP-1.§
"LifeVantage is committed to leading the future of health and wellness by delivering innovative, natural solutions that truly make a difference," said Steve Fife, CEO of LifeVantage. "The outstanding success of the MindBody GLP-1 System trial demonstrates the transformative power of our activation approach, proving natural GLP-1 activation can not only help people manage their weight but also significantly enhance their overall health.
