About Phyteau, Inc.

A safe and effective new class of incretin therapy that activates and amplifies the body’s own natural metabolic response. Incretins are hormones naturally released by the gut into the bloodstream after food consumption that modulate the insulin response and therefore blood glucose control as well as satiety and food intake.

Their GTM product is a nutraceutical developed in conjunction with their commercial partner which has an simplified regulatory path. Similarly, their second product is a nutritional shake/functional food containing their active compounds which is currently in R&D. They are also working on an FDA-regulated longer-lasting pharmaceutical version targeting diabetics.

The number of people affected by metabolic conditions including diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver disease is in the billions globally and only continues to grow.
