‘Ozempic face’ supplements to combat side effects of rapid weight loss
The TelegraphNestlé is to target “Ozempic face” by selling dietary supplements to counteract the effects of weight-loss drugs. The company said it would roll out products that “complement” people’s weight-loss treatments, including hair growth supplements, electrolyte tablets and collagen peptides that improve skin elasticity. Anna Mohl, the chief executive of Nestlé’s health science division, told Bloomberg it would keep up with changing needs among customers, including “preserving lean muscle mass, managing digestive upset and assuring an adequate daily consumption of micronutrients”. The supplements are expected to help to tackle the rise of “Ozempic face”, a side-effect of taking the diabetes drug semaglutide for weight loss whereby the face looks gaunt and skin loses its elasticity.
