Frequently Asked Questions
About Alula
What is Alula?
Alula is a daily drink mix in single-serve stick packs, made for people taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. One stick combines electrolytes, a full vitamin and mineral panel, HMB, collagen peptides, prebiotic fiber, a probiotic, and ginger, so you can cover several daily needs in one step instead of buying separate supplements.*
Is Alula a GLP-1 medication?
No. Alula is a dietary supplement. It does not contain any GLP-1 medication, it does not act like one, and it is not a substitute for any medication your provider prescribes.
Who is Alula for?
Alula is designed for adults on GLP-1 medications who are eating less than they used to and want simple daily support for hydration, nutrient intake, digestion, muscle, and hair and skin.* It can also suit adults who are eating less for other reasons.
Who developed Alula?
Alula was developed with Dr. Joshua Trachtenberg, Ph.D., a neurobiologist at UCLA who serves as Alula's medical advisor.

How many calories are in Alula?
Each stick pack has 15 calories and 2 g of total carbohydrate, which comes from the fiber.
What does it taste like, and how is it sweetened?
Alula has a mango and orange flavor from natural flavors. It is sweetened with stevia leaf extract.
Is Alula a protein supplement?
No. Each stick has 2 g of protein from collagen peptides, which is not enough to replace protein from food or a protein shake. Most people on GLP-1 medications still need to make protein a priority at meals.
How to use it
How do I take Alula?
Tear open one stick pack, pour it into 12 to 16 oz of water, and stir or froth until mixed. Most people take it once a day at whatever time is easiest to remember.
Can I take Alula with my GLP-1 medication?
Alula is made to be taken alongside GLP-1 medications, but check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take other medications, have kidney or heart conditions, or have been told to limit sodium or potassium.
Can I take more than one stick a day?
