How can we take part in the fat revolution as investors? I happen to own Lexaria Bioscience shares.
NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage:
GLP-1 agonists have become incredibly popular obesity drugs, reshaping the standard of care as people increasingly turn to the new class of drugs in lieu of conventional weight-loss procedures.
There is a growing body of clinical evidence showing GLP-1 agonists safely control blood sugar (glucose) levels and deliver tremendous positive outcomes, such as a recent New England Journal of Medicine study reporting weight loss of 49 to 52 pounds.
As good as GLP-1 agonist are, they can get better, which is part of the mission of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) ( Profile), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms.
But there may be an even better avenue to increased effectiveness and better outcomes. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, began diabetes-related formal studies last year with its DehydraTECH(TM) platform, which showed reduced blood-sugar levels and lowered body weight. With such encouraging early results, Lexaria is planning to launch new human and animal studies to examine whether DehydraTECH processing can make GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide even better.
