Compositions and Methods for Activating GLP-1 Secretion via Nutritional Supplements
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260096587A1 for nutritional supplement compositions designed to activate GLP-1 peptide secretion to regulate blood sugar, weight, and hunger. The application covers formulations combining hydrolyzed yeast, acacia gum, citrus bioflavonoids, cinnamon bark, MCTs, resistant starches, and botanical extracts, with disclosed efficacy of up to 200% increase in GLP-1 production. Inventors include Elisa Diane Barnes, Christina Beer, Clinton T. Horton, and Robert A. Carr.
What changed
USPTO published patent application US20260096587A1 covering three nutritional supplement compositions for activating GLP-1 hormone secretion. The first composition contains hydrolyzed yeast, acacia gum powder, citrus bioflavonoids, cinnamon bark, and eggplant whole vegetable. The second composition includes medium chain triglycerides, resistant potato starch, resistant tapioca starch, kombucha, guar gum, blueberry juice powder, cranberry fruit powder, and grape seed extract. The third composition combines ingredients from both formulations.
For companies developing metabolic health or weight management supplements, this published application signals competitive IP activity in the GLP-1 activation space using non-pharmaceutical nutritional approaches. Manufacturers should review the specific ingredient combinations and proportions claimed to assess freedom-to-operate for similar product development. The application does not yet constitute granted protection but establishes a priority date for the disclosed formulations.
What to do next
- Monitor for patent grant or rejection
- Review composition claims for product development freedom
- Assess IP landscape for GLP-1 supplement formulations

Abstract
Nutritional supplements and compositions for activating the GLP-1 peptide and/or other hormones in a subject in order to regulate blood sugar, weight, and hunger of the subject are described in this application. The compositions include a first nutritional supplement containing specific amounts of hydrolyzed yeast, acacia gum powder, citrus bioflavonoids, cinnamon bark, and eggplant whole vegetable. The compositions also include a second nutritional supplement containing specific amounts of medium chain triglycerides, resistant potato starch, resistant tapioca starch, kombucha, guar gum, blueberry juice powder, cranberry fruit powder, and grape seed extract. A third composition includes the first and second nutritional supplements containing these ingredients in sufficient amounts to regulate the GLP-1 hormone and/or other hormones. These compositions can increase the total GLP-1 production up to about 200%. Other embodiments are also described.
