Fuel by Strive - Optimal Meal Replacement for GLP-1 Therapy - Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein

The High Protein and High Fiber Meal Replacement Shake

Clinical Focus:

Fuel is a scientifically designed nutritional supplement created to optimize gut and metabolic health. This meal replacement shake features a unique blend of macronutrients, fiber, polyphenols, and bioactive nutrients tailored to promote a balanced microbiome, enhance metabolic functions, and support overall health. By addressing microbiome imbalances, Fuel helps mitigate inflammation, improve nutrient synthesis, and regulate energy metabolism.

Potential Benefits:^1,2,3,4,5

• Supports healthy digestion and reduces bloating.
• Promotes a balanced microbiome for improved metabolic efficiency.
• Enhances immune system tolerance and antimicrobial capabilities.
• Strengthens intestinal barrier integrity to prevent endotoxemia.
• Reduces inflammation and supports joint health.
• Encourages weight management and insulin sensitivity.

Key Ingredients & Actions:

Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides

• Provides 20g of bioavailable protein per serving.
• Improves gut integrity, reduces inflammation, and supports joint health.⁵

Grain-Free Plant-Based Fiber

• Contains 9g of diverse fibers, including beet, apple pectin, flaxseed, chia, and inulin.
• Enhances short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, supporting gut health and balance.⁶

Polyphenols and Antioxidants

• Includes extracts from blueberries, acai, and cruciferous vegetables like kale and broccoli.
• Reduces oxidative stress, modulates inflammation, and supports microbiota diversity.^2,3

Healthy Fats

• Features plant-based fats from avocado and coconut oil.
• Provides keto-friendly energy and promotes a diverse microbiome.

How It Works:

Fuel works by targeting the gut microbiome, the central hub for metabolic and immune regulation. Key mechanisms include:

• Microbiome Optimization: Fiber and polyphenols promote beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while reducing pathogenic strains.^3,6
• Gut Barrier Support: Collagen peptides and fiber improve intestinal barrier function, reducing inflammation and promoting nutrient absorption.⁵
• Metabolic Efficiency: Ingredients like flaxseed and chia may enhance fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity, contributing to healthy weight management.⁷
• Systemic Benefits: Antioxidants and SCFA production regulate immune responses, cardiovascular health, and overall energy balance.^6,7
• Harmonious Hormone Levels: Fiber supports hormone balance by binding to excess estrogen in the gut, promoting its elimination and aiding overall hormonal health during fat loss.⁸

Why Choose Fuel?

Fuel is more than just a shake—it’s a complete meal replacement designed to support your journey to optimal health. By prioritizing gut health, Fuel lays the foundation for better metabolism, improved digestion, and enhanced overall well-being. Its high-protein content not only supports muscle maintenance but also nourishes the gut microbiome, amplifying the benefits of a balanced diet. Fuel and GLP-1 therapies create a synergistic approach to achieving sustainable weight management and vibrant health.
