Can Herbal Tea Help While Taking GLP-1 Medications?

Medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy® and Mounjaro® have transformed the way obesity and type 2 diabetes are managed. By helping to regulate appetite and slow gastric emptying, they can support weight loss for many people.

However, these benefits can also come with digestive changes. Nausea, bloating, feelings of fullness and changes in bowel habits are among the most commonly reported side effects. Many people also find they drink less water because they simply don't feel as thirsty or hungry.

While herbal tea is not a treatment for these side effects, choosing the right botanical blend may provide gentle support for digestive wellbeing and encourage regular hydration throughout the day.

Our Digest & Energise blend was originally created to support healthy digestion using carefully selected botanicals with a long history in traditional herbal medicine and the latest science research. Interestingly, many of these same ingredients align with the digestive challenges commonly experienced by people taking GLP-1 medications.

Ginger: One of the Best-Studied Herbs for Digestive Comfort

The star ingredient in our Digest & Energise tea is ginger.  Few herbs have been researched as extensively for digestive health. Numerous clinical studies and systematic reviews have demonstrated ginger's ability to help reduce nausea in a variety of settings, including pregnancy, chemotherapy and post-operative recovery.  Although research specifically examining ginger alongside GLP-1 medications is still emerging, its well-understood effects on digestive comfort make it one of the most evidence-supported botanicals available. Its naturally warming properties also make it a wonderfully comforting tea to sip throughout the day.

A Botanical Blend Designed for Digestive Wellbeing

Alongside ginger, our blend brings together several herbs traditionally used to support digestive function.

Burdock root naturally contains inulin, a prebiotic fibre that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and has long been valued in Western herbal traditions for supporting healthy digestion.

Spearmint provides a refreshing flavour while traditionally helping to ease digestive discomfort and bloating.

Marshmallow root is rich in soothing mucilage, creating a gentle coating effect that has traditionally been used to calm the digestive tract.

Lemon peel and orange peel contribute fragrant citrus oils and naturally occurring flavonoids that support both flavour and digestive enjoyment.

Rose hips provide vitamin C and antioxidant polyphenols, while nettle contributes a wealth of naturally occurring plant nutrients.

Together, these botanicals create a balanced infusion that is both comforting and refreshing.

Hydration Matters More Than Ever

One often-overlooked aspect of taking GLP-1 medications is hydration. Because appetite and thirst can both decrease, many people unintentionally drink less throughout the day. Even mild dehydration may contribute to fatigue, headaches and constipation.  Creating a simple tea ritual can be an enjoyable way to increase fluid intake without relying on sugary drinks.

Our Digest & Energise blend offers a naturally caffeine-free way to stay hydrated while enjoying the comforting flavours of ginger, citrus and herbs.

A Tea That Complements Healthy Lifestyle Habits

No herbal tea can replace a balanced diet, adequate protein intake or resistance exercise—particularly for people aiming to preserve lean muscle while losing weight.

Instead, think of herbal tea as one small but meaningful part of your overall wellness routine.

Pairing a nourishing botanical tea with protein-rich meals, regular movement, strength training and good hydration can help support your wellbeing throughout your weight-management journey.

Our Philosophy

We believe wellness should be rooted in both tradition and science.  Our Digest & Energise tea was never designed as a quick fix. Rather, it reflects the latest science research and centuries-old practice of using carefully selected botanicals to support digestive wellbeing through simple daily rituals.

If you're taking GLP-1 medication and looking for a comforting herbal infusion to accompany your healthy lifestyle, our Digest & Energise blend may be a beautiful addition to your daily routine.

As always, if you have any medical condition or are taking prescription medication, it's advisable to speak with your healthcare professional before introducing herbal products into your routine.
