🚨🇺🇸NEW WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS WILL BUILD MUSCLE—NEXT-GEN OBESITY TREATMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT

Drugmakers are developing next-generation weight loss treatments that preserve muscle while shedding fat, aiming to improve strength and long-term weight maintenance.

Current drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound cause muscle loss—up to XX% of weight shed isn’t fat. Now, companies like Eli Lilly, Regeneron, and Veru are testing drugs to promote muscle growth alongside weight loss.

Analysts say these drugs could be a $X billion market, but the FDA remains skeptical—they’ll need to prove functional benefits to gain approval.
