And individuals using GLP-1 for reasons beyond weight loss, such as metabolic health optimization or inflammatory conditions, may not need full therapeutic doses
Accordingly, postbiotics should be interpreted as adjunctive nutritional strategies rather than pharmacological alternatives to GLP-1 receptor agonists, with the most plausible utility during consolidation and maintenance phases aimed at improving metabolic context and supporting long-term weight-loss sustainability ( Figure 1 Importantly, accumulating preclinical evidence indicates that certain postbiotic preparations can attenuate weight gain, reduce adiposity, and activate thermogenic pathways, including brown adipose tissue signaling, particularly in high-fat dietfed rodent models
