Executive Briefing

According to reporting by CNBC International Markets, Novonesis is exploring whether gut health supplements could benefit patients taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, opening up a potentially lucrative new market.

Detailed Factual Report

Supplements could be the next major sector to benefit from the weight-loss drug boom, Novonesis CEO told CNBC on Monday, as the biosolutions company explores whether microbiome products can help patients on popular GLP-1 medicines.

"We have scientific evidence that [is] going to support the patients [on] GLP-1s feeling better, as a companion during the treatment," CEO Ester Baiget told "Squawk Box Europe," referencing an ongoing study with Novo Nordisk .

GLP-1 medications and dietary supplements, such as those being developed by Novonesis, could play complementary roles in managing obesity and supporting longer-term health, she argued.

While medications can help treat obesity, improving the gut microbiome through nutrition and scientifically backed supplements could support longer-term health, Baiget said.
