Why it Works
The Problem
Rapid weight loss can lead to a loss of lean body mass, primarily due to muscle breakdown. This loss of muscle mass can compromise strength, endurance, and functional capacity.
The Science
A loss of muscle mass decreases your metabolic efficiency, making weight management more challenging after weight loss is complete. Approximately 20-50% of the weight lost is from lean body mass while using a GLP-1 antagonist. [1]
The Solution
Muscle is a key player in determining your daily metabolic rate. Retaining muscle mass is your safeguard for long-term weight management. Higher protein intake during hypocaloric diets help preserve lean mass, staying more metabolically active.

No. This product contains milk, which has lactose.
Whey is naturally found in cow’s milk, meaning it contains carbs, fats, and protein. Whey protein concentrate is about 70–80% protein and contains some lactose and fat. Whey protein isolates have removed more of the lactose and fat with at least 90% protein. Whey protein hydrolysate powder goes through additional processing, breaking the proteins down into shorter amino acid strands.
Whey is naturally found in cow’s milk. Whey is a complete protein that provides all nine essential amino acids required for muscle growth and recovery^*. With its high leucine content and quick digestibility, it’s the perfect addition to your weight loss journey.
During lower calorie intake, a high protein intake slows down the loss of muscle mass but does not slow down total weight loss. The goal is to supplement protein to help preserve muscle, ultimately helping you better manage your weight long-term.*
