At least a dozen experimental weight-loss drugs designed to be taken as pills are working their way through clinical trials, with the most advanced now in the third and final stage of testing.

As GLP-1 weight loss drugs fly off shelves, Kourtney Kardashian Barker is getting in on the hustle — well, sort of. As Business Insider and other outlets report, Kardashian Barker's brand Lemme has launched a new line of oral supplements marketed as an alternative to actual glucagon-like peptide-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

While some were willing to give the product a shot, others were questioning whether it’s wise to take weight loss advice from celebrities who may not have personal experience with the struggles of weight management.

Karla Robinson, MD and Medical Editor at GoodRx discusses how GLP-1 receptor agonists work and their benefits.

Boasted as being a “breakthrough capsule formula designed to boost GLP-1 hormone levels, reduce hunger and cravings and support healthy weight management,” the supplement contains three clinically-studied, patented ingredients: Eriomin® Lemon Fruit Extract, Supresa® Saffron Extract, and Morosil™ Red Orange Fruit Extract.
