GLP1 Support

QLife — Gut support for GLP-1

For people on GLP-1 medication

Your gut is running on GLP-1 time now.

Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work partly by slowing how fast your stomach empties — which is exactly why the nausea, bloating, constipation and low energy show up. Q Life's naturopathic drops are formulated to ease each stage of that slower pace, gently and naturally.

The mechanism

Why "slower" feels so uncomfortable

GLP-1 medications work in part by delaying gastric emptying — food sits in your stomach longer than it used to, which is part of what curbs appetite.

That same delay is what causes most of the side effects people report: nausea that can linger for hours, bloating and trapped wind as food sits, reflux and heartburn as pressure builds, and downstream constipation as the whole system slows. Eating less on top of all that often leaves people running on empty, too — fatigue is one of the most common complaints that doesn't get talked about.

None of that means something's wrong — it means digestion, and the energy that runs on it, are genuinely moving at a different pace than they used to. Support for each stage helps more than treating it as one problem.

Matched to what you're feeling

Four formulas, one for each stage of the timeline

All four are naturopathic homeobotanical drops already in the Q Life range — repositioned here for what adults on GLP-1 medication actually need from them.

Core symptom

Queeze Ease

For nausea and queasiness

Built directly around anti-nausea homeobotanical extracts, traditionally used to settle an unsettled stomach and ease queasiness from causes ranging from motion sickness to an overloaded gut. Ginger and peppermint settle the stomach directly; gentian and globe artichoke are bitter digestives traditionally used to support a sluggish stomach.

Early-stage

Grizzly Guts

For bloating, trapped wind, reflux and heartburn

A blend chosen to reduce spasm and tension through the digestive tract, help move trapped wind, and calm the reflux and heartburn that build up when food sits longer than usual. Take as needed through the day, straight or in water.

Downstream

Intesto Ease

For sluggish bowels and constipation

A gentle elimination formula for the constipation that tends to follow a few days after slower gastric emptying sets in. Dosage is adjustable — more to nudge things back into rhythm, less once you're regular again.

Whole-body

Revive

For fatigue and the adjustment period

Eating less takes a real toll on energy. Revive is nourishing and calming rather than stimulating — it's not a caffeine-style hit, it's traditional support for your body adapting to running on less fuel while it finds a new rhythm.

Using them well

Start low, go slow — same as your GLP-1 dose

You're already titrating one medication carefully. These drops work the same way: begin gently, adjust to what your body needs, and taper down once things settle.

Start with the smaller dose

Adult guidance is 10 drops, up to 6 times daily as needed — begin at the low end and see how you respond.

Take it however's easiest

Straight in the mouth, in a glass of water to sip, or added to food — useful on days when swallowing anything feels unappealing.

Adjust as your dose changes

Side effects are often strongest right after a dose increase. Lean on the drops more in those first weeks, less as your gut adjusts.

Taper down, not off a cliff

Once symptoms ease, reduce gradually rather than stopping all at once — the same approach naturopaths use for any homeobotanical support.

Good to know

Questions people ask us

Is this safe to take alongside my GLP-1 medication?

Talk to your prescriber or pharmacist before adding any new supplement — including homeobotanical ones — while on GLP-1 medication. These formulas aren't formulated or tested specifically for use with GLP-1 drugs, so a quick check first is the safest move, especially if you're on other medications too.

What's actually in them?

100% natural homeobotanical extracts, made in New Zealand, gluten free. Full ingredient lists are on each product page.

How fast will I notice a difference?

Most people use these as needed, symptom by symptom, rather than on a fixed schedule — so the effect is usually felt within the same day, tied to when you take them.

Are these made for adults?

The formulas are the same ones used across the Q Life range for all ages, with adult dosing on the label. They weren't developed specifically for GLP-1 side effects, but the homeobotanical formulas' traditional uses map closely onto what GLP-1 slows down.

Do I need all four, or just one?

Most people don't. Start with whichever symptom is loudest — usually Queeze Ease for nausea or Grizzly Guts for bloating and reflux — and add Intesto Ease or Revive later if constipation or fatigue show up as your dose increases.

This information is general in nature and isn't a substitute for advice from your doctor or pharmacist — always check before combining any supplement with prescription medication.

Ready when you are
