India is at the cusp of a major health crisis as obesity rates surge across all age groups, driving an alarming rise in early mortality linked to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. As per the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), nearly 24% of women and 22.9% of men are now classified as obese.

The Good Bug, a pioneering gut health brand in India, has launched a path breaking scientific innovation poised to disrupt the weight loss landscape.

Keshav Biyani, Co-founder of The Good Bug, stated, “Developed through cutting-edge gut microbiome research, the Advanced Metabolic System is a proprietary blend of clinically tested probiotics and prebiotics solving for obesity through Natural GLP-1  activation —without the adverse side effects commonly associated with weight-loss drugs. With the launch of this product, validated through scientific clinical trials, we are proud to offer a global first-of-its-kind innovative solution that delivers upto 12% weight loss in 90 days. As pioneers in gut health, we identified disbalance in gut biome composition to be the fundamental root cause behind obesity and put together years of R&D to build a solution that could eventually help increase GLP-1 and GIP naturally to deliver weight loss outcomes.

Over 90% said their cravings had reduced; 95% noted hunger suppression. This mirrors what’s seen with synthetic GLP-1 drugs,” he explains. “Importantly, no significant adverse events were reported. And the trials showed clear improvements in appetite, satiety, and energy levels.”
