Did you hear about Kourtney Kardashian’s latest move? Her supplement brand, Lemme, just launched something called GLP1 Daily, and it’s raising some red flags. These supplements are claiming to have effects similar to Ozempic (OIC), and that’s concerning. I’m already down to 97 lbs, and products like this just make me lose more weight. It feels like a scam—Kourtney is basically selling a knockoff version of OIC. Lemme is already facing a class action lawsuit, and now she’s promoting these fake OIC pills. This is getting out of hand, so let’s break it down.
Honestly, it feels like we’re in the twilight zone. Why is Kourtney Kardashian getting into the OIC game? Everyone seems obsessed with it right now, and it was only a matter of time before a Kardashian tried to cash in. A recent report said that Kourtney’s brand, Lemme, is hopping on the OIC trend. Lemme, which launched in September 2022, is known for gummy vitamins like Lemme Chill and Lemme Focus. Now, they’ve got Lemme GLP1 Daily, marketed as a weight management tool.
The thing is, OIC, weight loss, and the whole wellness industry feed off people’s insecurities. There’s so much pressure to be skinny, fit, or to at least look healthy. And of course, Kourtney’s going to tap into that, just like the Kardashians have always shaped beauty standards. Now, let’s check out the promo ad for her latest gummy vitamin and see what she’s selling this time.
You might be wondering who I am, but that’s one secret I’m keeping. Meanwhile, I’ve got to say, the ad for GLP1 Daily is pretty entertaining, though it’s got nothing to do with what the product actually does. It’s all catchy tunes and flashy visuals. But let’s get down to the real deal: what is GLP1 Daily?
GLP1 Daily is part of the latest trend in weight loss drugs. These drugs—like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound—contain ingredients that mimic GLP1, a hormone that tells your brain when you’re full. Your body naturally makes GLP1 to help control blood sugar and prevent overeating.
I don’t think there’s a problem with using weight loss drugs as long as they’re safe and you understand the risks involved. Interestingly, about one in eight Americans is on a GLP1-based medication. But do we really need a celebrity like Miss Kardashian Barker to endorse these products? Her Lemme GLP1 Daily isn’t FDA-approved, which is pretty common in the supplement world. FDA approval isn’t required for all supplements; brands just need to ensure their products are safe, even if they don’t have specific scientific backing. Her supplement is set to launch next week and will cost $72 a month.
Lemme promotes its product as containing herbal ingredients that might boost your body’s natural GLP1 levels. While they claim the ingredients have been tested in humans, there isn’t much evidence that they’re effective for weight loss. Since natural GLP1 is broken down quickly in the body, you’d usually need a proper GLP1 analog or medication for significant weight loss. So, while some herbs and natural foods might offer a slight increase in fullness, they’re unlikely to provide the same results as real GLP1 drugs.
I’m a bit skeptical about these supplements that claim to offer the same benefits as Ozempic. If someone is already in top shape—eating well, exercising regularly, and maintaining their ideal weight—but just wants a little extra fullness, maybe a supplement like this could be worth trying. But if it’s not going to work, why bother? People might as well go for the real deal if they want actual results.
It seems like there’s limited research on these supplements, and often the studies are funded by the companies that make them. Of course, they want the research to look good. When the funding comes from the patent holders, you have to question how unbiased the results are.
Let’s dive into a few of the ingredients, though I might stumble over some names. First up is Ocyaon. It’s shown some promise, but most of the studies have been done on mice or rats. The company behind it did its own study with minimal results, and remember, this research was funded by Kourtney’s partners.
Next is Supressa, which is a saffron extract. There’s not much evidence that saffron helps with weight loss. A 2010 study found that people snacked less, but considering how expensive saffron is, I’d probably snack less too if it were in my diet.
The final ingredient in the supplement is called Morosil, which comes from blood oranges. It’s a pretty new addition, but it seems to be quite effective. However, there’s something important to note: the people in the study who were taking this supplement were also told to work out. So, if someone is already active, especially if they’re significantly overweight, they might see some benefits. That said, the supplement is labeled as a GLP-1, but I’m not entirely convinced it’s living up to that claim. When you dig deeper into GLP-1, the research behind these specific ingredients doesn’t quite add up.
People often misunderstand GLP-1 medications, thinking they’re just appetite suppressants. But they’re actually much more than that. For instance, older medications like Phentermine do suppress appetite, but they work by speeding up your body’s processes and making you not feel hungry while the medication is active. Once it wears off, your hunger usually comes back.
In contrast, GLP-1 medications work differently. They interact with receptors throughout your body—like in your gut, brain, pancreas, heart, and blood vessels. These medications activate the satiety centers in your brain, helping you feel fuller faster, and they also slow down how quickly food moves through your digestive system. This combination helps you stay satisfied longer.
Honestly, my main concern isn’t even about the ingredients—many of which I can’t even pronounce. The real issue is that Kourtney Kardashian is behind these products. She even admitted, “If you told me when I launched this brand that this would be a product we were making, I wouldn’t have believed you.” And honestly, neither do I. While GLP-1 medications have definitely helped a lot of people and have their benefits, they also come with a bunch of side effects. For instance, Ozempic is known for causing severe nausea and stomach issues. Some of my friends on it have even had really bad acid reflux.
Kourtney’s new product, which she’s marketing as an alternative medication, raises some red flags. With her massive platform, she’s about to roll this out to a huge audience, charging a subscription fee and promoting it like a medication. It makes me wonder what could happen to all these customers—or should I say, patients?
On top of that, Kourtney’s brand, Lemme, is currently facing a class action lawsuit. It’s quite the coincidence that a new product is launching right now. One expert in the field said, “As someone who’s been in the gummy business for years, I’m not surprised by the lawsuit against Kourtney’s brand. The gummies don’t actually contain enough of the supplements they claim to, so their effectiveness is pretty questionable. If you bought Lemme gummies, you might be eligible for compensation.”
One person pointed out, “With how dangerous and poorly regulated GLP-1 meds are, now we’ve got the Kardashians jumping in with these fake GLP-1s. This isn’t a joke.” They added, “Supplement regulation is a mess, but this screams class action lawsuit to me.” Zimmerman Reed, who’s handling the class action, is probably either thrilled or worried sick seeing these new products. They’ve likely seen countless issues with similar gummies, so who knows what these pills could do.
On Instagram, people had a lot to say. One comment read, “Lemme live, laugh, love to that class action lawsuit.” Another questioned, “Why launch something you haven’t even tried? ‘I’m breastfeeding, but you guys can try it,’ really?” Someone else said, “I’ll buy it just to get in on the lawsuit.” Another added, “No farm experience, not FDA-approved—though it doesn’t need FDA approval—and she hasn’t tried it herself. Yeah, this seems totally legit.” And one person found it amusing that celebrities launch products they claim they don’t use, especially with her comment about breastfeeding.
Honestly, I’m not convinced these products actually work. What do you think? Would you give it a try, or do you see it as just another Kardashian cash grab? Let me know in the comments!
