FL, 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.
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."
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."
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."
Bansal is an independent physician and has not been compensated by Wellgistics for this statement.
GLP-1 agonist market is expected to grow from $70 billion in 2025 to $201 billion in 20301 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.
