Join Aker BioMarine for an exclusive webinar diving into the rapidly expanding GLP-1 market. Featuring market and consumer insights from an expert at Nutrition Business Journal, the session will cover how consumers perceive GLP-1s, their expectations, and the opportunities this creates for brands and companion products.
Our science team will break down the findings and results of Aker BioMarine’s new clinical study, which demonstrates how krill oil can help preserve muscle mass and support healthy weight loss for individuals using GLP-1s. The discussion will highlight why maintaining lean muscle is critical during weight management, and how companion products like krill oil can provide an essential layer of support alongside GLP-1 therapies.
This session will give you the science, strategy, and market perspective you need to stay ahead in one of the most dynamic categories in nutrition today.
