Choosing your GoSlim product based on body type

Updated this week

GoSlim products, which include Ozempic® (Semaglutide Injection), Saxenda® (Liraglutide Injection), Orlistat, and RYBELSUS® (Oral Semaglutide), are designed to aid in weight loss through different mechanisms. While these products are not specifically tailored for different body types in the traditional sense (such as ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph body types), they can be more suitable for individuals based on their specific health needs, weight loss goals, and metabolic conditions. Here’s a breakdown of which GoSlim products might be more appropriate depending on an individual’s health profile:

1. Ozempic® (Semaglutide Injection)

Best Suited For: Individuals with type 2 diabetes or those who are at high risk for diabetes, as well as those who need to lose a significant amount of weight.

Reason: Ozempic® is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps control blood sugar levels and reduces appetite, making it particularly effective for people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. It also promotes a feeling of fullness and slows gastric emptying, which can be beneficial for those who struggle with overeating.

2. Saxenda® (Liraglutide Injection)

Best Suited For: Individuals looking for weight loss without necessarily having diabetes, particularly those with obesity-related health conditions like hypertension or high cholesterol.

Reason: Saxenda® is another GLP-1 receptor agonist that focuses on weight management by reducing appetite and calorie intake. It is specifically approved for weight loss and is beneficial for people who need to lose weight to manage obesity-related health issues.

3. Orlistat

Best Suited For: Individuals who consume a diet high in fat and need help reducing calorie intake from fats.

Reason: Orlistat works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats, making it particularly effective for those who struggle with high-fat diets. It is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and can be used by individuals without diabetes who are looking to lose weight.

4. RYBELSUS® (Oral Semaglutide)

Best Suited For: Individuals who prefer oral medications over injections and those with type 2 diabetes who also need to manage their weight.

Reason: RYBELSUS® is an oral form of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide, offering the same benefits as Ozempic® for weight loss and blood sugar control but in a pill form. It is ideal for those who might be uncomfortable with injections but still require a medication that helps with both weight loss and diabetes management.
