Muscle Preservation During Weight Loss (Future)# Recommendation : Bioglutide Reason : Bioglutide's IGF-1 receptor activation may preserve muscle mass during weight loss, addressing a key limitation of all current GLP-1 therapies
Most clinical guidelines and obesity specialists recommend GLP-1 medications as long-term or indefinite treatments for obesity similar to how blood pressure or cholesterol medications are used chronically
The resulting weight lossoften 15-20% of body weight with higher doses approved for obesity (Wegovy/Zepbound) and 5-10% with lower doses for diabetes (Ozempic/Mounjaro)can actually improve several cardiovascular risk factors
