Your GLP-1 Is
Burning Muscle.
Not Just Fat.
Up to 40% of the weight you lose on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound comes from lean mass — including muscle. Your testosterone is tanking in the process. Rise is formulated to fight back: 4 clinically-dosed ingredients that naturally optimize testosterone production, protect lean mass, and keep your hormonal system from collapsing while GLP-1 strips the fat.

Your Medication Is Working. Your Muscles Are Paying the Price.
GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide are phenomenal at burning fat. But the research is clear: up to 40% of the weight you lose is lean mass — including skeletal muscle. That's not a minor side effect. That's your metabolism, your strength, and your functional capacity disappearing along with the fat.
It gets worse. Rapid weight loss drives testosterone into the ground. Lower T means less muscle protein synthesis, more cortisol, more fatigue, and a body that's getting lighter on the scale but weaker in every way that matters.
Rise attacks both problems simultaneously. Tongkat Ali directly stimulates testosterone production. Shilajit fuels it at the cellular level. Boron frees bound testosterone so your body can actually use it. And zinc fills the nutritional gap that GLP-1's appetite suppression creates. Your medication handles the fat. Rise handles everything else.
How Rise Protects GLP-1 Users
Boosts T Production
Tongkat Ali (400mg) directly stimulates gonadotropin signaling — the hormonal pathway GLP-1 weight loss is suppressing. More T means more muscle protein synthesis when you need it most.
Frees Bound T
Boron (6mg) reduces SHBG by ~9% within hours. That means more of the testosterone your body makes is actually bioavailable — not locked up and useless.
Fills Nutrient Gaps
GLP-1 crushes appetite — and with it, your intake of critical minerals. Zinc (15mg, 136% DV) replenishes the deficit that's accelerating your hormonal decline.
Cellular Energy
Shilajit (250mg) delivers 84+ minerals and fulvic acid directly to your cells. Fights the fatigue and brain fog that GLP-1 users report during rapid weight loss phases.
How Much Muscle Is Your GLP-1 Costing You?
What's In Rise
Tongkat Ali
Stimulates gonadotropin production, reduces SHBG, supports lean mass preservation. The highest clinical dose — not the 100–200mg others use.
Shilajit
84+ minerals and fulvic acid. Supports testosterone at the cellular level and combats the fatigue GLP-1 users experience during rapid weight loss.
Zinc
136% daily value. Critical for testosterone metabolism — and the first mineral to deplete when GLP-1 suppresses your appetite and food intake.
Boron
Reduces SHBG ~9% within hours, increasing free testosterone. Also blocks estrogen conversion — key when body composition is shifting rapidly.

What Men Are Saying
"Energy Came Back"
I started Rise two months into my Wegovy treatment. The fatigue was brutal — couldn't get through workouts. Within two weeks of adding Rise, my energy stabilized and my lifts stopped declining. Game changer for anyone on GLP-1.
"Kept My Muscle"
Lost 35 lbs on semaglutide but I could see the muscle going too. Added Rise and Ashwa together. Strength came back, body composition improved dramatically. I look lean now — not just skinny.
"Should Be Standard Protocol"
My doctor has me on tirzepatide and I was losing strength fast. Rise doesn't interfere with anything — just fills in what the medication takes out. Better sleep, better mood, better gym sessions.
Frequently Asked
Rise contains natural ingredients (Tongkat Ali, Shilajit, Zinc, Boron, BioPerine) with no known drug interactions with GLP-1 receptor agonists. That said, always consult your prescribing physician before adding any supplement to your regimen. Rise supports your body's natural hormone production — it doesn't introduce synthetic hormones.
GLP-1 drugs create a significant caloric deficit through appetite suppression. During rapid weight loss, 25–40% of the weight lost comes from lean mass including muscle (SURMOUNT-1 trial, STEP trials). This is compounded by reduced protein intake from suppressed appetite and potential hormonal disruption from rapid body composition changes. The research is published across multiple journals including the NEJM and Nature Reviews Endocrinology.
Rise works by optimizing testosterone — the primary anabolic hormone responsible for muscle protein synthesis. Tongkat Ali has been shown in clinical studies to improve testosterone levels by 15–37% and support lean body mass. When your body has adequate testosterone, it prioritizes fat loss over muscle loss during caloric deficit. Rise also replenishes zinc, which is one of the first minerals depleted when appetite is suppressed.
If you're on TRT under medical supervision, your testosterone levels are already being managed exogenously. Rise is designed for men who want to optimize testosterone naturally without TRT — particularly those who want a simpler approach alongside their GLP-1 medication without adding another prescription to the stack.
Ideally, as early as possible. Muscle loss begins in the first weeks of GLP-1 treatment and compounds over time. Starting Rise early gives your body the hormonal support it needs to preserve lean mass from day one. But it's never too late — even months into treatment, optimizing testosterone can help rebuild what's been lost.
Yes — Xwerks recommends combining Rise with Ashwa (KSM-66 ashwagandha gummies) for cortisol control and Grow (whey protein isolate) to ensure adequate protein intake. GLP-1 users particularly benefit from the Grow + Rise combination: Grow provides 25g of pure protein per scoop to combat the reduced food intake, while Rise optimizes the hormonal environment to actually use that protein for muscle maintenance.
