GNC has announced the introduction of a new section in its 2,300 US stores specifically designed to support consumers managing GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic and Wegovy. This initiative aims to address the needs of individuals using these medications for weight loss and diabetes management by offering a range of vitamins, protein shakes, and supplements tailored to mitigate common side effects and enhance overall health. The new section will feature products that support gastrointestinal health, muscle mass maintenance, and bone density, which are critical areas of concern for GLP-1 users.
In addition to the product offerings, GNC is implementing specialized employee training to ensure that staff can provide knowledgeable assistance to customers. This holistic approach is intended to help users of GLP-1 medications achieve long-term success by combining lifestyle and nutritional support with their medical treatments. By creating a dedicated space for these products and services, GNC aims to become a trusted resource for individuals on their health journeys, addressing both immediate needs and long-term wellness goals.
