The Challenges of Oral Semaglutide
Rybelsus is a unique medication because it is the very first GLP-1 receptor agonist available in tablet form. Whereas patients previously had to rely on weekly or daily injections, this oral form of semaglutide offers much greater convenience. However, taking this medication presents a whole new set of physical challenges. This is because Rybelsus is absorbed entirely in the stomach and is extremely dependent on the condition of the stomach. Therefore, it must be taken strictly on an empty stomach with only a small sip of water. If stomach function is impaired, or if there is too much stomach acid or mucus present, the pill’s effectiveness drops dramatically. From a TCM perspective, an excess of stomach mucus is a manifestation of “Phlegm-Dampness” and Stomach Qi Stagnation. A cloudy, poorly functioning stomach literally sabotages the effectiveness of your expensive medication.
Stomach Harmonization with Our Unique Formula
To ensure your stomach is in top condition for the absorption of Rybelsus, we’ve developed a targeted formula. Ingredients such as Ban Xia, Chen Pi, and Fu Ling are known worldwide in TCM for their ability to remove phlegm from the stomach. By cleansing and soothing the stomach lining, you create the ideal physiological environment for medication absorption. In addition, the added herb Sheng Jiang (fresh ginger) acts as a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory for the stomach lining. To balance stomach acid and prevent cramps, we’ve also included Zhi Gan Cao (licorice root) in the blend. But this formula does more than just prepare the stomach; herbs like Huang Lian (Coptis) act as natural blood sugar regulators. This means you enhance and support the blood sugar-lowering effects of Rybelsus in a completely natural way.
Optimize Your Microbiome with Probiotics
Because the medication travels through the gastrointestinal tract, its impact on your gut flora is significantly greater than with injections. It is therefore of the utmost importance to proactively protect and nourish your microbiome. The Immune & Energy Flora probiotic has been specially selected for patients with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and obesity. This powerful probiotic harmonizes Stomach Qi and transforms residual Dampness and Phlegm in the intestines. This prevents the typical symptoms of flatulence, rumbling intestines, and constipation that often occur with Rybelsus. We also often recommend supplementing this with orthomolecular digestive enzymes to break down food more efficiently. By optimally preparing your stomach and intestines, you’ll get the most out of every tablet you take.
