Our story

We built the support 
we couldn't find.

CONTROL exists because the medication is only half the story.
The other half — the nausea, the fatigue, the muscle loss, the fear — has been left to people to figure out alone. We think that's unacceptable.

Why we exist

A GLP-1 can change your life. The first months can also break your resolve.

Up to 85% of people experience side effects in their first months — and roughly half stop taking their medication within a year. Not because it wasn't working, but because no one prepared them for how hard the adjustment can be.

We're a team of clinicians, formulators, and people on this journey ourselves. We built CONTROL to be the companion we wished we'd had: honest about the hard parts, clinically dosed, radically transparent, and designed to grow with you — from your scariest first week to your quietest maintenance year.

What we stand for

Four commitments we won't 
compromise.

01

Clinically dosed, never sprinkled

Every active is dosed to the level studied in the research — not a token amount for a prettier label.

02

Open by default

No proprietary blends. We publish the certificate of analysis for every lot so you — and your clinician — can see exactly what's inside.

03

Safe alongside your medication

Formulated with clinicians and designed to complement GLP-1 therapy — never to interfere with it.

04

Honest about the hard parts

We talk to you like a person going through something real — not a sales target. No hype, no shame.

Nicole Alvarez

Founder & CEO

Started CONTROL in her own eighth month on a GLP-1, after a year of piecing support together alone.

"I didn't need another miracle. I needed to make it through the next ninety days without quitting, without feeling sick, without feeling ashamed. That's the company we built."
