What You Should Know:
– Pioneering biomimetics company Evolv introduces its first product Evolv GLP-1: the first ingestible, natural GLP-1 peptide designed for effective and accessible weight management
– The oral GLP-1 supplement was created using a proprietary yeast strain engineered to produce a new molecule that delivers the full power of GLP-1 naturally. Unlike synthetic drugs, this non-habituating supplement is designed to help individuals manage appetite and metabolism without the side effects or high costs.
Biomimetics: The Next Frontier in Wellness
Evolv GLP-1’s single active ingredient, EV1 Peptide, is made of canonical amino acids. The product uses a proprietary yeast powder, derived from yeast hydrolysate, which is clinically shown to activate the body’s natural GLP-1 production. The formula is natural, vegan, allergen-free, and manufactured in the U.S. in a cGMP-compliant facility.
With the introduction of Evolv GLP-1, the company is defining a new category of health technology: biomimetics. These are biologically engineered molecules designed to mimic and enhance the body’s natural functions. Unlike synthetic compounds, biomimetics are created using food-safe organisms from nature, making them free of stimulants, habit-forming ingredients, and unwanted side effects.
Evolv’s biomimetics are the result of a world-class team of scientists and bioengineers with deep expertise in synthetic biology and molecular design. The team, led by co-founders Kwang-Chul Kwon, PhD, and Cory Henderson, PhD, uses AI-driven molecular modeling to develop its innovative solutions.
A Natural Solution for a Growing Health Crisis
Over 73% of U.S. adults are overweight, and millions have sought solutions in synthetic GLP-1 drugs. While these drugs have increased in popularity, many people face barriers such as high costs and adverse side effects due to the extreme doses. Evolv aims to change this with a different approach.
Evolv GLP-1 provides lasting appetite control, reduces “food noise,” and enhances metabolic function to support steady energy. By balancing hunger signals, improving digestion, and optimizing nutrient absorption, it is designed for healthy individuals seeking an effective weight management solution, not for the treatment of disease.
Third-Party Testing & Clinical Trails
Evolv GLP-1 has undergone third-party testing for purity, potency, and safety, with three studies completed and a fourth clinical trial currently underway. These studies have measured both safety and efficacy across key biomarkers related to appetite regulation, metabolic function, and nutrient absorption.
“GLP-1 is a natural hormone found in your body that helps signal fullness and satiety. We’ve created a product that mimics the effects of GLP-1, helping you feel fuller longer, and allowing you to approach your nutrition and food choices with a sense of calm intention, rather than impulsive craving,” said Becca McCarthy, MBA, co-founder, president, and chief operating officer of Evolv. “This isn’t just another supplement. We’re building a new category at the intersection of biology and accessibility to reimagine how people take control of their metabolism, appetite, and longevity with solutions that deliver real results and work with the body—not against it.”
