GLP-1 agonists work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, enhances insulin secretion when blood sugar is elevated, suppresses glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying
Our tests assess your microbiome's gene expression related to SCFA production, bile acid metabolism, and gut barrier healthall of which impact GLP-1 activity
