Weight loss is more than just the number on the scale
When it comes to losing excess body weight, the conversation usually focuses on healthy eating and physical activity. However, experts now emphasize that the body undergoes numerous changes during the weight-loss process and that sustainable results require much more than simply counting calories. Obesity is increasingly recognized as a chronic and complex disease that requires an individualized, long-term approach. In line with this approach, Galenika introduced Olire®, a GLP-1 therapy indicated for the treatment of obesity and excess body weight, to the Serbian market earlier this year. The company has now expanded this approach with the Oli-support line of food supplements, designed to provide nutritional support throughout the weight-loss journey.
The body needs support during the process of change
Weight loss is not simply a matter of reducing calorie intake. Throughout this process, the body’s nutritional needs change, making it important to preserve muscle mass, support healthy digestive function, and maintain overall energy and vitality. This is why experts increasingly emphasize that sustainable weight loss rarely depends on willpower and discipline alone—it requires a multidisciplinary approach.
Every type of support has its role
To address the diverse needs of people working toward weight loss, Galenika developed the Oli-support line of food supplements.
Oli-Muscle provides essential amino acids that help maintain normal muscle mass and support an increase in muscle mass.
Oli-Lax provides an additional source of dietary fiber, galactooligosaccharides, and the bacterial strain Akkermansia muciniphila, supporting intestinal health, digestion, and regular bowel function.
Oli-Nex contains ginger and licorice extracts that contribute to normal digestion, digestive system health, overall physical well-being, and may help relieve nausea.
Part of a broader approach to obesity treatment
Modern obesity management combines lifestyle changes, healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, and medical therapy when appropriate. Nutritional support can also play an important role throughout this process. The Oli-support food supplements are intended for individuals working to lose excess body weight and may be used alongside Olire® or other GLP-1 therapies, as well as within broader lifestyle modification programs, in accordance with the advice of a healthcare professional.
The goal is more than losing weight
Modern obesity management measures success by more than the number of kilograms lost. Preserving muscle mass, maintaining healthy digestive function, improving quality of life, and achieving sustainable long-term results are equally important.
That is why, alongside Olire®, Galenika developed the Oli-support line of food supplements Oli-Muscle, Oli-Lax, and Oli-Nex to provide additional nutritional support for people undergoing weight loss as part of a modern, individualized, and multidisciplinary approach.
