Product Description
Pendulum GLP-1 Probiotic Pro
Naturally Curbs Cravings
Increases GLP-1 (“Un-hunger” hormone) Naturally*
Your gut naturally produces GLP-1, the “un-hunger” hormone that plays multiple roles in metabolic health. GLP-1 can decrease with age and lifestyle which can contribute to added weight gain.
- 91% reported reduced overall food cravings†
- Helps maintain a healthy weight (preclinical studies)*
- Enhances natural GLP-1 production (preclinical studies)*
†Based on a consumer survey of 274 people
Science-backed strains that help the body produce more GLP-1 naturally can help boost the GLP-1 hormone.
Pendulum GLP-1 Probiotic Pro is a multi-strain probiotic formulated with beneficial bacteria that naturally increase GLP-1,* the “un-hunger” hormone that helps curb cravings and appetite.
Pendulum GLP-1 Pro contains Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium butyricum, and Bifidobacterium infantis, species that generate the postbiotics that boost GLP-1 production.
(These probiotics are commensal strains naturally found in the human gut. These strains have undergone extensive safety studies and found to be safe.)
Pendulum GLP-1 Probiotic Pro does not contain GLP-1 and is not a GLP-1 agonist drug.
Pendulum GLP-1 Probiotic Pro naturally boosts GLP-1 production.
How Can These Beneficial Gut Bacteria Reduce Food Cravings and Support Weight Loss?
As you eat, metabolic processes are triggered in your body. In the gut microbiome, these beneficial bacteria ferment the fiber in your food and produce postbiotic metabolites such as butyrate. (That’s why it’s important to include lots of whole plant-based foods in your diet too.)
These postbiotic metabolites stimulate production of GLP-1, the hormone that tells your pancreas to produce insulin, supports blood sugar control and signals the slowing down the emptying of your stomach.
GLP-1 also sends a signal to your brain that you’re full, reducing your appetite, helping to maintain a healthy weight.
GLP-1 is a natural hormone that plays an important role in metabolic homeostasis and healthy weight regulation.
What lifestyle habits should someone adjust to maximize the benefit of taking GLP-1 Probiotic?
A diet filled with colorful fruits, vegetables, polyphenols, and a wide range of dietary fibers (legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, etc.) supports a healthy gut microbiome and will maximize the benefits of GLP-1 Probiotic Pro.
It’s also important to maintain healthy stress levels and remain physically active.
How Long Does It Take to Feel Benefits from GLP-1 Probiotic Pro?
It usually takes around 90 days to see changes in the microbiome. However, results vary based on your gut and you may begin to feel some benefits in Month 1-2.

Should someone lower their dose after taking for 60, 90, 180 days?
To maintain the benefits of GLP-1 Probiotic Pro, we do not recommend lowering the dose.
Week 1-3: You may experience mild digestive changes. This means that the strains are settling in and is usually temporary.
Month 1-2: It usually takes around 90 days to see changes in the microbiome. However, results vary based on your gut and you may begin to feel some benefits in Month 1-2.
Month 3 and beyond: You should feel the full benefits; your gut microbiome is happy and you feel healthier overall. Keep taking your probiotic to keep those benefits going.
Can I travel with GLP-1 Probiotic Pro?
You can travel with GLP-1 Probiotic Pro. Just toss your bottle in your bag and once you reach your destination, put it in the fridge if possible since we recommend refrigeration for optimal quality.
Is GLP-1 Probiotic Pro safe?
GLP-1 Probiotic Pro is composed of commensal strains naturally found in the human gut. These strains have undergone extensive safety studies and found to be safe.
Can or should I take GLP-1 Probiotic Pro if I’m pregnant?
GLP-1 Probiotic Pro contains commensal bacterial strains that exist within the gut microbiome of healthy people, including during pregnancy. To date, GLP-1 Probiotic Pro has not been studied in women who are either pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Please consult with your healthcare provider to see if this product may be a good fit for you.
Are there any side effects of taking GLP-1 Probiotic Pro?
When starting any new probiotic such as GLP-1 Probiotic Pro, there can be an adjustment period. You may experience some gastrointestinal symptoms (increased gas, bloating, nausea, or loose stools) that usually resolve over the initial 14 days or with discontinuation of the product. If you experience symptoms that are severe or do not resolve, please consult your healthcare provider.
Are there studies that show that GLP-1 can help maintain a healthy weight?
Yes, GLP-1 has been shown to play an important role in metabolic homeostasis and healthy weight regulation. Akkermansia muciniphila and microbial strains that produce butyrate such as Clostridium butyricum can augment GLP-1 production through natural stimulation of the L-cells.
For a scientific overview of the microbiome, the difference between GLP-1 agonist drugs and microbial approaches to regulating GLP-1, and the role GLP-1 plays in helping to maintain a healthy weight, please refer to the white paper: Harnessing GLP-1 in the digestive tract for better metabolic health. Or click here for PubMed publications on GLP-1.
What clinical studies have been done on GLP-1 Probiotic Pro?
In a consumer study of 274 people taking GLP-1 Probiotic for 6 weeks, 91% reported reduced food cravings. Based on promising findings from this initial consumer study, Pendulum is planning additional clinical trials to further our scientific understanding.
