What Is THREE GLP THREE?

THREE GLP THREE is a natural weight management liquid dietary supplement produced by THREE International. It is built around MBC-267™ (Metabolic Boost Complex-267™) — a proprietary complex of 267 naturally-occurring peptides from Norwegian salmon protein hydrolysate and mushrooms, formulated to bind to the GLP-1 receptor.

MBC-267™ is patent-pending, exclusive to THREE International, and — significantly — is listed in the Prescribers' Digital Reference (PDR), the clinical resource used by physicians and pharmacists. This is an unusual distinction for a nutritional supplement and signals a level of clinical rigor that most products in this category cannot approach.

Protocol: ¾ dropper (0.83ml) approximately 30 minutes before meals. Approximately 12 servings per bottle.

How GLP THREE Supports Natural GLP-1 Production Without Hormones

The GLP-1 Pathway: Why Weight Management Is Harder After 50

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone produced in the gut in response to food intake. It signals the pancreas to release insulin, slows gastric emptying (keeping you full longer), and tells the brain's satiety centers to reduce appetite. GLP-1 signaling declines with age, contributing to increased food cravings, reduced satiety, and progressive weight gain even without significant dietary changes.

The GLP-1 pathway is currently the most intensively researched area in metabolic medicine. Pharmaceutical GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy) have compelling clinical evidence but require injections, cost $900+ monthly, and carry documented side effects. GLP THREE supports the same pathway through natural peptides and botanicals with individual peer-reviewed mechanism studies.

MBC-267™: The Science Behind the Salmon Peptides

Norwegian salmon protein hydrolysate peptides have demonstrated glucoregulatory and anti-inflammatory activity in multiple peer-reviewed studies:

Salmon protein hydrolysate peptides demonstrated a 42% increase in glucose uptake in muscle cells and ability to decrease hepatic glucose production.

Henaux et al. (2019) Int J Mol Sci. Henaux et al. (2021) Membranes (Basel). Chevrier et al. (2015) J Nutrition.

GLP-1 receptor agonists have peer-reviewed evidence for reducing BMI, blood glucose, HbA1c, and sleep apnea severity in meta-analyses of clinical trials.

How MBC-267™ Targets L-Cells in the Gut Lining

GLP-1 is secreted by L-cells — specialized enteroendocrine cells located predominantly in the distal small intestine and colon. When nutrients interact with L-cells, they trigger GLP-1 release into the bloodstream. MBC-267™'s 267 salmon peptides are specifically formulated to survive GI transit and interact with L-cell receptor pathways, stimulating endogenous GLP-1 secretion rather than introducing a synthetic hormone agonist from outside the body.

This is the fundamental mechanistic difference between GLP THREE and pharmaceutical GLP-1 agonists: GLP THREE supports the body's own L-cell production pathway; pharmaceutical agonists bypass it entirely with synthetic receptor binding. The supporting botanicals — ginsenosides (Panax ginseng), crocetin (saffron), and bitter acids (hops) — each independently stimulate L-cell GLP-1 secretion through different receptor pathways (GLP-1 receptor, GPR40/GPR120, TAS2R), creating a layered approach that no single-ingredient supplement can replicate.

"GLP THREE has the deepest independent peer-reviewed bibliography of any THREE product. The salmon peptide research is real, the GLP-1 pathway has more clinical evidence behind it than almost any area in metabolic medicine, and the PDR listing adds a layer of professional credibility that most supplements in this category cannot approach." — Ed Drost, THREE Founding Member

Frequently Asked Questions About THREE GLP THREE

THREE GLP THREE is a natural weight management liquid supplement built around MBC-267™ — 267 peptides from Norwegian salmon protein hydrolysate and mushrooms binding the GLP-1 receptor. Patent-pending, exclusive to THREE International, and PDR-listed. Supporting botanicals: Panax ginseng (GLP-1 stimulation), saffron crocetin (GPR40/GPR120 agonist), hops (TAS2R activation). Taken as 0.83ml via liquid dropper 30 minutes before meals. Full science at CellularAbsorptionReport.com/glp-three.
MBC-267 (Metabolic Boost Complex-267) is 267 naturally-occurring peptides from Norwegian salmon protein hydrolysate and mushroom glycolipids that bind to the GLP-1 receptor. It is patent-pending, exclusive to THREE, and listed in the Prescribers' Digital Reference. Salmon protein hydrolysate peptides have peer-reviewed evidence for a 42% increase in glucose uptake in muscle cells (Henaux et al. 2019) and decreased hepatic glucose production (Chevrier et al. 2015).
GLP THREE is not a pharmaceutical GLP-1 agonist and does not replace prescribed medication. It is a natural supplement supporting the GLP-1 pathway through peptides and botanicals with individual peer-reviewed mechanism studies. It is designed for adults seeking natural metabolic support without pharmaceutical intervention — not as a replacement for physician-prescribed treatment. Always consult your physician regarding weight management.
THREE GLP THREE is available through THREE International's ambassador network. Ed Drost, THREE Founding Member and Brand Ambassador, sells GLP THREE at edwarddrost.threeinternational.com/en/purchase-products. Full science and dossier at CellularAbsorptionReport.com/glp-three.
GLP THREE targets L-cells in the gut lining — specialized enteroendocrine cells that produce GLP-1 when stimulated. MBC-267™ peptides interact with L-cell receptor pathways to stimulate endogenous GLP-1 secretion. Supporting botanicals (Panax ginseng ginsenosides, saffron crocetin as GPR40/GPR120 dual agonist, hops TAS2R bitter receptor activation) each independently stimulate L-cell secretion through different pathways. This layered approach supports the body's own production rather than introducing a synthetic hormone.
GPR40 and GPR120 are free fatty acid receptors on L-cells and pancreatic beta cells that, when activated, enhance both insulin and GLP-1 secretion. In 2023, Zhao et al. (Nutrients) identified saffron's crocetin as a dual agonist of both receptors simultaneously — a novel finding for a natural compound. This is the mechanism behind saffron extract's role in GLP THREE's botanical stack.
GLP THREE vs pharmaceutical GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic/Wegovy): GLP THREE supports natural endogenous GLP-1 production via L-cells; pharmaceutical agonists are synthetic receptor binders. GLP THREE uses oral supplement delivery; pharmaceuticals require subcutaneous injection. GLP THREE is a PDR-listed dietary supplement; pharmaceuticals are FDA-approved prescription medications. GLP THREE is for adults seeking natural metabolic support without pharmaceutical intervention.
THREE GLP THREE is taken as ¾ dropper (0.83ml) via liquid dropper approximately 30 minutes before meals. Approximately 12 servings per bottle. The liquid format is designed to allow faster uptake than capsules for pre-meal GLP-1 pathway stimulation.
Individual peer-reviewed studies support each GLP THREE ingredient: MBC-267™ salmon peptides (Henaux et al. 2019 — 42% increase in glucose uptake; Chevrier et al. 2015 — decreased hepatic glucose production); Panax ginseng ginsenosides (Liu et al. 2013, Journal of Endocrinology — GLP-1 stimulation); saffron crocetin (Zhao et al. 2023, Nutrients — GPR40/GPR120 dual agonist, first identified for a natural compound); hops bitter acids (Barrea et al. 2019 — TAS2R receptor activation and GLP-1 secretion).
