Does it seem like every other ad or commercial nowadays is for a weight-loss medication like a GLP-1?
But is Kardashians latest supplement safe?
And what do the studies actually show about its ingredients?
Lets start by defining what a GLP-1 is.
What Is a GLP-1?
Insulin helps your body use or store the glucose (sugar) in your blood after eating.
The injectable medications are called GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic your bodys GLP-1 hormone with synthetic GLP-1.
They were originally designed for people with diabetes since they help lower blood sugar levels.
Kardashians supplement, however, is not a GLP-1 agonist.
It contains ingredients called nutraceuticals that are being touted as raising your bodys natural levels of GLP-1.
Lets take a closer look at what the studies actually show regarding these ingredients.
There was a fourth study done in 2024 but it was done with rats, not humans.
All three human studies were small as far as the number of participants.
One included 30 participants, another 103 and the other 45.
Supresa Saffron Extract
Another ingredient in Lemme GLP-1 Daily is Supresa Saffron Extract.
It was difficult to find studies specifically on Supresa.
).Satiereal is a patented extract of saffron (C. sativusL) stigma.
The other participants took a placebo.
Theyre found in Italy, as is the company that makes Morosil.
They were also provided with calorie-controlled diets.
Is Lemme GLP-1 Daily Safe?
The studies we found suggest that the individual patented ingredients in Lemme GLP-1 Daily appear to be safe.
Most of the adverse effects were in the form of gastrointestinal distress, like diarrhea, gas and bloating.
And there are no known studies done on the combination of all three.
They also suggest theyre safe for most people.
But again, because theyre combined in the Lemme GLP-1 Daily supplement, safety is ultimately unknown.
So they can make all kinds of claims and have zero to minimal effectiveness.
Be cautious with terms like, clinically proven and physician recommended.
And physician recommended could be any one person with a medical license.
It doesnt mean that theres a whole group of physicians who tested the product and recommended it.
Both of these strategies are grounded in research with multiple studies in humans.
If youre going touse supplements, we highly recommend using ones that have been independently verified.
This ensures quality and that what the label says is what youre actually getting.
As far as we can tell, Lemme GLP-1 Daily has not been independently verified.
