‘Big Food’ brand Nestle has pivoted to selling collagen and protein powders to counteract the side effects of weight loss drugs after a slump in snack sales.
Despite their undeniable slimming effects, injections of GLP-1 drugs, such as, Ozempic and Wegovy, have been linked to a catalogue of side effects including muscle loss, hair loss and ‘Ozempic face’.
The maker of KitKat, Yorkie bars and Haagen-Daz ice cream brand is predicting that patients taking GLP-1 drugs will start to shun chocolate bars in favour of meals that are nutritious and not too filling.
