The Fort Worth Press - Wellgistics Targets $70B Market Breakthrough Addressing Ozempic / GLP-1 Muscle Loss with Forzet(TM)

TAMPA, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / March 9, 2026 / Wellgistics Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:WGRX) ("Wellgistics") , a health information technology leader, integrating proprietary pharmacy dispensing optimization artificial intelligence (AI) platform EinsteinRx^™ into its patented blockchain-enabled smart contracts platform PharmacyChain^™, today announced the launch of medical food Forzet™ for the dietary management of muscle loss associated with weight loss therapies. Forzet is being launched initially to physicians and pharmacists who prescribe and dispense GLP-1 agonist drugs. Forzet's proprietary formulation has been evaluated in multiple controlled clinical studies, including in patients with Type 2 diabetes, heart failure and COPD in Europe. Forzet will initially be be made available through the Company's affiliated pharmacy and select members of the Wellgistics Pharmacy Network. Forzet is classified as a medical food intended for the dietary management of muscle loss associated with weight loss therapies under physician supervision. Forzet is not an FDA-approved drug, is available over the counter and does not require a prescription.

"Forzet is indicated for the dietary management of muscle loss associated with weight loss therapies," said Prashant Patel, RPh, President & Interim-CEO of Wellgistics Health. "GLP-1 agonist drugs such as Ozempic^®, Wegovy^®, Mounjaro^® and others are members of the fastest growing class of drugs worldwide because of myriad benefits that result from losing weight. While the benefits of the weight loss associated with GLP-1 agonist therapy can no longer be denied, it remains the case that a significant amount of that weight loss comes from loss of muscle. As such, the Company believes there may be a significant market opportunity for a medical food product that distinguishes itself from dietary supplements by virtue of its extensive clinical data package in sarcopenia associated with other muscle loss-related medical conditions and -stringent cGMP manufacturing requirements."

Mr. Patel continued, "We intend to leverage Forzet's unique value proposition by recommending it as an adjunct solution for patients prescribed GLP-1 agonist drugs via pop-ups through our EinsteinRx hub technology at the point-of-sale in Wellgistics Pharmacy Network pharmacies. Additionally, as we build out our own telehealth customer base where we can more fully service patients through our own Wellgistics Pharmacy both in-store and online, we intend to make GLP-1 drug and related solutions such as Forzet a central feature of our direct-to-consumer (DTC) offering in order to drive loyalty by way of unique product offering as we begin to expand our DTC efforts."

"My practice primarily addresses patients seeking weight loss therapies," said Dr. Vivek Bansal, MD MPH, Triple Board-Certified Endocrinologist and Founder of The EnLyv Clinics in Bridgewater, NJ. "We have been working through myriad products seeking to address muscle loss while on current weight loss therapies, and believe Forzet represents a unique solution that has worked well in other sarcopenia-related medical conditions. We are excited to make this available to our patients."

Dr. Bansal is an independent physician and has not been compensated by Wellgistics for this statement.

The GLP-1 agonist market is expected to grow from $70 billion in 2025 to $201 billion in 2030 ¹ according to Grandview Research. The market growth is driven by drugs with increasing potency to induce weight loss, more convenient oral formulations that help drive adoption as well as increasing interest from non-obese patients looking for weight loss alternatives to diet & exercise. Limiting factors for the expansion of the GLP-1 market include side effects such as muscle loss and gastrointestinal challenges.
