Determine if consuming a high protein nutrition shake reduces gastrointestinal symptoms associated with semaglutide injections.

This study investigates the tolerability of a shake specifically designed to reduce GI side effects in individuals being treated with the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide. The study uses a single-arm, open label design where subjects will consume the study product daily for 1 week. Participants will record GI symptoms over the past 24h on 3 days during the week prior to the intervention, and on days 3, 5 and 7 during the intervention
