When most people think of hormones, they think of things like stress, sex, growth or thyroid hormones. But tucked deep in your digestive system are two lesser-known players that are rapidly gaining attention: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). GLP-1 and GIP are part of a group of hormones known as incretins. These hormones are secreted by the cells lining your small intestine in response to eating. Together, these two gut-derived messengers help regulate how your body responds to food, playing key roles in controlling appetite, energy, blood sugar, and fat storage:
1. You eat a meal.
2. GLP-1 and GIP are released into the bloodstream.
3. Insulin increases, blood sugar stabilizes, digestion slows down.
4. You feel full, energized, and balanced, without crashes or cravings.
When this system works well, it’s barely noticeable. But when it doesn’t, due to things like insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, chronic stress, or ultra-processed foods, you may experience weight gain, cravings, fatigue, or blood sugar instability.
At Evolv, we believe the key to metabolic health isn’t about overriding your body. It’s about supporting the hormones and systems that were already designed to keep you healthy. That’s why we focus on natural, biology-first solutions—like our patented EV1 Peptide—that are designed to work with your hormone pathways, not override them.
GLP-1 and GIP are part of your body’s deeply intelligent design. They help your brain, gut, and metabolism stay in constant communication. When they’re functioning well, health becomes easier. More intuitive. More natural. And with the right support, you can help them do their job even better.
Evolv was built around a simple question: what if you could create a natural, oral molecule that activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors?
The result is EV1 Peptide™, a patented biomimetic developed through advanced bioengineering. Using baker's yeast as a natural platform, Evolv scientists programmed yeast cells to produce EV1 Peptide™. Once produced, the yeast is dried into a powder, creating a natural oral delivery system that contains the peptide.
After consumption, EV1 Peptide™ interacts with GLP-1 and GIP receptors in the gut and brain, helping activate the same biological pathways involved in fullness, appetite regulation, and metabolic health. This receptor activity helps support satiety signals that can last throughout the day.
What makes Evolv unique is that EV1 Peptide™ is the first naturally derived dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist designed for daily nutritional supplementation. Unlike stimulants, appetite suppressants, or traditional supplements that simply provide nutrients, EV1 delivers a biologically active peptide signal through a convenient oral tablet.
The result is a simple daily supplement designed to help you feel fuller for all day satiety, experiencing fewer cravings, and maintaining greater control over your nutrition and metabolic health.
Because the peptide is delivered using yeast biomass, similar to dried baker’s yeast, it remains structurally recognizable in the digestive tract. This means it can be taken orally, daily, and safely.
Evolv GLP-1 is not a stimulant. It doesn’t override your body’s natural systems. Instead, it supports them, helping you regain hunger control, stabilize energy, and optimize metabolic function with every dose.
This is metabolic support, reimagined. And it’s backed by science, powered by nature, and designed for daily life.
Learn how GHκCU became one of the most studied molecules in hair science, and how Evolv's proprietary EV2 Peptide™ technology was inspired by its biology to support healthy hair growth through a next-generation oral biomimetic approach.
Biomimetics represent a new era in hair science—supporting the body's natural follicle signaling pathways rather than simply supplying nutrients, helping create a smarter, more biologically aligned approach to healthy hair growth.
