Hundreds of millions of people are predicted to be using weight loss medications globally over the next decade, which could lead to an uptick in productivity. The uptake in Australia has been slower than in the US. The active ingredient in most weight loss drugs — including Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic — mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). That peptide slows digestion and sends fullness signals to the brain, resulting in people eating less. The growing popularity of GLP-1 medications is doing more than transforming waistlines. Adam Spielman, head of future health at Citigroup, co-authored a report looking at the reach of GLP-1 medications in the US and possible future commercial implications and is "absolutely convinced" GLP-1 drugs will have "a really profound effect on the Australian economy", especially after 2031 when patents for the drugs end. He says the impact on the food industry would be uneven, with fruit and vegetable growers among those likely to benefit, while McDonald's or Burger King, could see the opposite. #ABCBusiness #abcshorts
