• Leads to longer-lasting satiety and reduced hunger between meals.

Improved Glycemic Control

• Helps regulate blood sugar levels, especially post-meal glucose spikes.
• Useful in managing insulin sensitivity and preventing fat storage.

Synergistic with GLP-1 Agonists

• Often combined with semaglutide or similar drugs for enhanced effect.
