Buoy Review
Best for: GLP-1-companion electrolyte supplement
Buoy (justaddbuoy.com) is a liquid electrolyte drop with 87+ trace minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants from an ocean-electrolyte and whole-food base. Buoy markets itself as a general hydration and electrolyte product, NOT as a weight-loss or GLP-1-specific product — we list it here because electrolyte loss is a documented side effect of rapid GLP-1-mediated weight loss, but readers should know the GLP-1 framing is editorial, not the brand's own primary positioning.
