Nourish to Flourish: Your Partner in Wellness

Nabeeha Ahmed

Your wellness journey deserves the right support. Nourish is thoughtfully designed to complement your nutrition and digestion, helping you feel balanced and energized every day. Whether you’re on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy or simply looking to elevate your digestive health, Nourish helps you stay on track while feeling your absolute best.

Key Components of Nutrilinq Nourish

Aquamin® Magnesium Soluble

Aquamin® is not just a source of magnesium; it also provides a rich array of essential electrolytes, including calcium, potassium, and trace minerals. Electrolytes like magnesium and calcium are crucial for maintaining hydration, nerve impulses, muscle function, and overall cellular activity.

For individuals using GLP-1 medications, maintaining electrolyte balance is particularly important, as these medications can affect gastrointestinal motility and hydration status. Aquamin® helps replenish these essential electrolytes naturally, supporting fluid balance and reducing the risk of muscle cramps, fatigue, and dehydration.

Studies have shown that the mineral-rich composition of Aquamin® enhances mineral bioavailability and absorption, contributing to improved bone health and overall wellness. 

For digestive health, magnesium helps relax the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, easing cramping and promoting bowel regularity. This is especially important for GLP-1 users, who may experience slowed gastric emptying or constipation as a side effect of their medications. Additionally, Aquamin®'s trace minerals, such as calcium and selenium, provide added support for gut microbiota balance and systemic nutrient regulation.

When it comes to brain health, magnesium’s role extends to the nervous system and neurotransmitter activity. It supports synaptic plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory formation. Low magnesium levels have been linked to increased stress, anxiety, and cognitive decline, making supplementation critical for maintaining mental clarity and resilience. The bioavailable form of magnesium in Aquamin® ensures efficient absorption, directly benefiting cognitive processes and mood stabilization.

Furthermore, Aquamin®'s natural mineral blend enhances the overall nutrient profile, supporting both brain-gut communication and systemic health. The interplay between gut health and brain function—often referred to as the gut-brain axis—is particularly relevant here. By improving gut integrity and reducing inflammation through magnesium and trace minerals, Aquamin® indirectly contributes to better mood regulation and mental performance.

Prebiotic Fiber: KAIBAE® Baobab Prebiotic Super Fiber
Baobab fruit powder is rich in both soluble and insoluble fibers, acting as a prebiotic to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This supports a balanced gut microbiome, which is essential for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption. A healthy gut microbiota can mitigate gastrointestinal side effects associated with GLP-1 agonists, such as constipation and bloating.

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG)
NAG is a derivative of glucose that plays a central role in synthesizing glycosaminoglycans, which are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of tissues. In the gut, these compounds strengthen the mucosal barrier, preventing harmful substances from penetrating the intestinal lining—a phenomenon often referred to as “leaky gut.” By enabling tissue repair, NAG helps soothe inflammation and create an environment conducive to optimal nutrient absorption. For GLP-1 users, whose slowed gastric emptying may stress the gut lining, NAG serves as a restorative agent, preserving digestive health and functionality over time.

Spirulina Powder
Spirulina is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering a rich source of protein, iron, and a unique antioxidant called phycocyanin. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it particularly beneficial for the gut, as inflammation is a key factor in many digestive disorders. Spirulina also aids detoxification by binding to heavy metals and supporting the liver’s natural cleansing processes. This algae is known to enhance gut microbiota diversity, helping to counteract imbalances caused by dietary restrictions or medications like GLP-1 agonists. Additionally, its iron content is easily absorbed, addressing the risk of anemia that may arise from reduced dietary intake.

Chlorella Powder
Chlorella complements spirulina as another nutrient-dense algae, but its strengths lie in its detoxifying capabilities. Chlorella contains chlorophyll, a compound that binds to toxins and heavy metals in the digestive tract, aiding in their safe elimination. It’s also packed with vitamin B12, beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), and omega-3 fatty acids, which collectively support immune health, cellular repair, and a balanced inflammatory response. Its fibrous structure promotes bowel regularity, ensuring smooth digestion, and its antioxidant properties help protect the gut lining from oxidative stress.

Probiotic: LactoSpore™ (Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856)
Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 is a spore-forming, lactic acid-producing probiotic known for its stability and ability to withstand gastric acidity. Supplementation with this probiotic strain has been shown to improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and enhance overall gut health. By maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, LactoSpore™ can help alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort linked to GLP-1 therapy.

Digestive Comfort Agents: Citrus Peel and Ginger Extract

Citrus Peel contains bioflavonoids and vitamin C, which possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds support digestive health and may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Standardized to 5% gingerols, ginger has been traditionally used to alleviate nausea and improve gastric motility. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in reducing nausea and vomiting, making it beneficial for individuals experiencing these side effects from GLP-1 agonists.

Nutrient-Dense Blend: Veggie Fusion™
This blend includes powders from beetroot, spinach, broccoli, and carrot, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients help address potential deficiencies due to reduced appetite and food intake associated with GLP-1 therapy.

  • Beetroot: Rich in fiber, vitamins A, B, C, and K, folate, nitrates, and antioxidants, beetroot may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
  • Spinach: A great source of vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, and iron, spinach supports various bodily functions, including immune response and bone health.
  • Broccoli: High in vitamins C, K, folate, and fiber, broccoli contributes to immune function and digestive health.
  • Carrot: Packed with beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, carrots are essential for vision, immune function, and skin health.

With Nutrilinq Nourish, your weight loss journey can be about more than just the numbers on the scale. It’s about feeling good, staying strong, and keeping your health front and center. Made to support digestion and fill nutritional gaps, Nourish is here to help you navigate the challenges of GLP-1 medications and beyond. It’s not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s thoughtful support for your body, every step of the way.
