Forte80™ is our special probiotic supplement made to work alongside weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. When you take these medications (GLP-1 therapies), they help control your appetite and slow down food digestion.
Forte80™ supports this process by promoting a healthy gut, which research shows is important for successful weight loss. We created Forte80™ because science shows that good gut health and weight loss are closely connected. Our probiotics are:
- Carefully developed using the latest scientific research
- Designed in Switzerland
- Made to the highest European quality standards

Our Story
At the heart of our company lies a profound understanding of the obesity epidemic and the groundbreaking potential of GLP-1 medications. We witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of the anti-obesity medications (AOMs). However, these medications also come with challenges in terms of high drop-out rates, sub-optimal use and gastrointestinal side-effects affecting 40-70% of patients.
Our journey began when we realized that the key to enhancing GLP-1 therapy lay in an often-overlooked aspect of health: the gut microbiome. We came to understand that a healthy gut is not just beneficial but could be foundational to a successful weight loss journey, especially for those on GLP-1-based medications.
Driven by this insight, we assembled a team of visionaries, scientists and researchers. Our diverse backgrounds converged on a single purpose: “To enhance overall health and combat obesity through optimized gut health.”
We are pioneers at the intersection of obesity treatment and gut health. Our company is dedicated to creating a new paradigm in weight management – one that recognizes the gut microbiome as a crucial player in the success of GLP-1 and AOM therapies.
Our first product is a testament to this vision. It's designed to support GLP-1 medications, improving patients' quality of life, treatment adherence, and overall outcomes. By fostering a healthier gut microbiome, we're not just alleviating side effects; we're enhancing the body's ability to respond positively to treatment, improving lipid profiles, balancing vital nutrients, and promoting overall gut health.
We've adopted an innovative, customer-centric approach, partnering with leading obesity clinics in Switzerland and Europe to bring our solutions directly to those who need them most.
Join us as we write the next chapter in obesity treatment – where a healthy gut leads to a healthier you.
