It’s no secret that GLP-1s have transformed weight management. And with more medication options becoming available, GLP-1s for weight loss are about to get bigger than ever—especially for those wanting a needle-free alternative.
A smarter way to take GLP-1s
As part of Shed’s broader mission to make wellness solutions more accessible, we’re excited to announce a new GLP-1 option: Oral Semaglutide Liposomal Tablets! This formulation is designed to help the body absorb semaglutide in a convenient oral form.
What are liposomal tablets?
Traditional pills face a major challenge: stomach acid. Much of what you swallow gets broken down before your body can use it, especially delicate peptides like semaglutide.
Liposomal tablets are designed differently. These tablets use microscopic lipid spheres called liposomes to help protect the medication as it passes through the stomach. This may allow semaglutide to reach the digestive tract, where it can be absorbed.
Liposomal semaglutide tablets are a newer approach to oral peptide delivery, but early research is very promising.
How do liposomal GLP-1 tablets work?
Semaglutide is a peptide, which can be challenging for the body to absorb when taken orally. For this reason, it is usually administered by injection. Liposomal technology is designed to help protect the peptide as it passes through the digestive system, supporting absorption in the gut.
How liposomal delivery improves semaglutide absorption:
- Protection through the GI tract: The lipid layer protects semaglutide from being broken down by the body’s harsh GI environment.
- Enhanced uptake: Liposomes blend naturally with cell membranes, helping the body absorb semaglutide more easily.
- Steady, predictable absorption: More reliable uptake means stability and consistency from dose to dose.
This technology is designed to help support oral peptide delivery in ways that differ from traditional pill formats, and allows for an additional delivery option that does not involve injections.
Why this innovation matters for weight management
Liposomal tablets reflect new delivery technology designed to broaden treatment access, giving patients and clinicians more flexibility in care planning.
When taken under a provider’s supervision, liposomal tablets can be the convenient weight-loss support many have been waiting for. Semaglutide has been shown to help stabilize blood sugar, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite and cravings—all of which factor into weight loss—and with liposomal technology, these benefits are more widely available in a non-injectable form.
What’s next for liposomal technology
This oral liposomal formulation introduces a new delivery method for semaglutide—and for other medications as well. Already liposomal technology is being explored for tirzepatide and testosterone replacement therapy.
Shed is committed to staying at the forefront of these innovations so we can continue to provide accessible wellness solutions. Check out our blog and website regularly to stay up to date on the latest exciting developments in weight loss.

FAQs: Liposomal GLP-1 tablets
How are liposomal tablets different from GLP-1 injections?
Injections deliver medication directly into the bloodstream, while liposomal tablets use advanced encapsulation to help protect the active ingredient through the digestive system. This delivery method is intended to support efficient absorption and provide a convenient, needle-free option.
What sets liposomal tablets apart from traditional tablets and pills?
Liposomal tablets are designed differently than traditional pills: each dose encapsulates the active ingredients within tiny lipid (fat-like) spheres that help protect them from stomach acid. This protective delivery system is intended to support efficient absorption, maintain ingredient stability, and promote consistent performance over time, helping you get the most from each dose.
How should I take oral semaglutide tablets?
Chew and swallow as directed by your provider. Liposomal tablets are designed for easy use.
Can I switch from semaglutide injections to liposomal tablets?
Yes, as long as it’s under the supervision of your provider. They will help determine the right dose and schedule. Don’t make any changes to your GLP-1 treatment without consulting with your provider first.
