This indicates a ~17% market penetration among U.S. adults,” as noted by Seeking Alpha. --------------------------------------------------------------- While that’s certainly great news for obesity treatment heavyweights like Eli Lilly (SYM: LLY) and Novo Nordisk (SYM: NVO), it’s also fueling momentum in up-and-coming treatment stocks, like: Company: Viking Therapeutics (SYM: VKTX) With Viking Therapeutics, the company is seeing good success with its GLP-1 obesity drug trials. It already reported that its Phase 2 VENTURE trial successfully achieved is primary endpoint and all secondary endpoints. It also said patients receiving VK-2735 demonstrated weight loss after 13 weeks, rating up to 14.7% from baseline weight. Better, VKTX is about to start Phase 2 trials of its once-a-day weight loss pill. Viking said patients who received the pill once a day lost up to 5.3% of their weight on average, or up to 3.3% more than those who took a placebo, at 28 days, as noted by CNBC. --------------------------------------------------------------- Goldco [Biden's Plans for Retirees...]( Only Weeks Remain To Shield Your Retirement Savings From Biden's Tax Plans [Click here to request your FREE 2024 Wealth Protection Kit]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Company: Altimmune (SYM: ALT) The company’s pemvidutide treatment led to weight loss while preserving lean mass, as noted in trial data. In addition, data from a 48-week trial showed that about 74.5% of weight loss was linked to fat tissue. About 25.5% was linked to lean mass, which may give it a leg up against the competition. “We believe that pemvidutide has the potential to distinguish itself broadly from other therapies for the treatment of obesity,” ALT CEO Vipin Garg added. --------------------------------------------------------------- InvestorPlace [Must-See: Elon’s New Invention is Absolutely Insane]( [brain]( When you click here and see what Elon Musk’s new invention does… And how it works… You will NOT believe it.

GPCR believes its GSBR-1290 obesity treatment is “uniquely positioned as an oral, non-peptide small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist that can be manufactured at scale and significantly help address the growing obesity epidemic, which current peptide GLP-1s are not able to do.” --------------------------------------------------------------- Monument Traders Alliance [JOLTS OVERNIGHT TRADE DEMONSTRATION]( [chart]( Every Time the Government Releases Jobs Data...
