Ideal candidates for GLP-1 medical weight loss GLP-1 medications are often recommended for adults with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 or those with a BMI over 27 and weight-related health conditions such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes

"GLP-1 medications are truly a breakthrough in weight management, but they can also create significant nutrient gaps in things like vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron and calcium," says Matthew Taylor, Sr

Other clinical data, however, also indicate that longer-term use of GLP-1 analogs is associated with cardiovascular benefits (136), possibly with a more pronounced cardiovascular benefit in men (64)

Human dosing strategies are still being refined
