Standard Process Launches MediHerb GLP-1 Bitter Complex

Standard Process has launched MediHerb GLP-1 Bitter Complex, a bitter herbal formula designed to support healthy satiety signaling and digestive function by engaging the body’s natural bitter taste pathways. The formula integrates traditional Western herbal use of bitters with contemporary research into gut-brain and metabolic signaling.

MediHerb GLP-1 Bitter Complex may benefit adults seeking practitioner-directed support for satiety and appetite regulation, digestive health, pre-meal digestive support, and healthy eating patterns alongside diet and lifestyle interventions.

Growing interest in GLP-1 medications has brought new attention to the body’s natural satiety pathways and the gastrointestinal tract’s role in appetite and digestive signaling. MediHerb GLP-1 Bitter Complex provides healthcare practitioners a complementary botanical option to consider within broader, practitioner-directed programs focused on healthy weight management, metabolic health, digestive support and appetite awareness, nutrition, physical activity, and other lifestyle interventions.

“Bitter herbs have a long history of use in supporting healthy digestion and gastrointestinal function,” said Simone DuBois, vice president of business strategy. “MediHerb GLP-1 Bitter Complex builds on that herbal tradition with a targeted combination of Hops and Feverfew, bringing a botanical and holistic perspective to the growing conversation around satiety signaling and digestive health.”

Bitter taste receptors are found not only on the tongue, but throughout the gastrointestinal tract where they play a role in digestive and appetite signaling. This growing understanding of bitter pathways provides a modern scientific lens when considering the traditional use of bitter herbs in digestive support.

“This new synergistic combination of hops and feverfew offers an exciting botanical approach to supporting the body’s own GLP-1 pathway, helping support appetite regulation and healthy eating patterns”, said Kerry Bone, herbal medicine researcher, professor, and co-founder of MediHerb.

“MediHerb has always built on the wisdom of herbal medicine with an uncompromising commitment to quality. GLP-1 Bitter Complex brings that foundation forward through thoughtful, science-informed innovation that responds to the evolving needs of practitioners and those in their care”, said Tammie Oon, MediHerb’s head of brand and innovation.

MediHerb GLP-1 Bitter Complex is available through the health care practitioner channel. Suggested use is one softgel three times daily before meals, or as directed. The product is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age. Practitioners and patients should consult the product label for complete contraindications and cautions.
