Supports the transport of fatty acids for energy and helps preserve lean muscle during weight management. The dose anchors the formula's lean-muscle and fat-metabolism support. Study finding: Varney et al. (2017) reported lean-mass gains and reduced muscle-damage markers (CPK, myoglobin) in exercising Labradors (J Nutr Sci). Varney et al. (2020) reported lower fractional protein breakdown and higher energy expenditure (J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr). Enterococcus faecium IDCC 2102 — 17.5B CFU Probiotic strain (Ildong Bioscience) using Q-shield® 4-layer coating for gut survival. Selected for gut, lipid, and weight support — a different strain from the one in Jope GB-01. Study finding: Kang et al. (2024) demonstrated weight- and lipid-related benefits in a high-fat-diet beagle model. Spirulina (dried) Nutrient-dense microalgae rich in phycocyanin. Supports healthy triglyceride levels and vitality, working as part of the full formula. Study finding: Stefanutti et al. (2024), 12-week double-blind RCT in 32 overweight dogs: 56.3% of Spirulina dogs reached ≥30% triglyceride reduction at 12 weeks vs 18.8% on placebo (p=0.028); 81.3% reached ≥15% reduction at 6 weeks vs 43.8% placebo (p=0.028). FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) Prebiotic fiber. Feeds beneficial gut bacteria and works in synergy with IDCC 2102 to support digestive balance. Other Ingredients Clean formula — no fillers, no grain, no artificial colors or preservatives. Why WS-01 Skips Fillers and Appetite Suppressants WS-01 is built from four evidence-backed actives with no bulking fillers and no grain. It also avoids appetite-suppressant gimmicks: the goal is to support healthy body composition and metabolism alongside a vet-guided diet, not to manipulate hunger. The weight change itself is driven by diet and exercise; WS-01 supports the process — lean muscle, triglycerides, and gut.

"I didn't know what to expect, but there was a change in her waist. She is definitely slimmer and has more shape to her abdomen now vs. before. I was consistent with it every day and there were some great positive results we are happy with." — Zach D. ★★★★★ (Weight & lean mass) "Brynn changed very noticeably. She went from flabby to toned. Her entire body looks more athletic. She gained 3 lb of muscle weight. She gallops everywhere." — Cat F. ★★★★★ (Muscle tone) "She was able to go on longer walks, is getting up and down and around better. She seems happier. Yes, I said it." — West ★★★★★ (Energy levels) "Some weight loss and more mobility." — Joe B. ★★★★★ "Abbey lost 3 pounds and is currently 31 lbs, which is within the range her vet wants her in." — Michael F. ★★★★★ "She wouldn't lose weight before, and once I started WS-01 I noticed she was losing weight. She's down 7 lbs and has her figure back." — Jenni S. ★★★★★ Individual results from Jope's internal field study. Results may vary. Best results when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. WS-01 is not a treatment for any disease.

Early gut and appetite-regulation signs around week 2; triglyceride and body-composition support build over 6–12 weeks. Results vary with diet and activity. Is WS-01 safe to use with a prescription weight diet? Generally yes — consult your veterinarian for any weight-management plan, especially if your dog is on a therapeutic diet.

Does WS-01 contain fillers or grain? No fillers and no grain — the formula is the four actives plus a natural flavor for palatability. Will WS-01 reduce my dog's appetite? WS-01 is not an appetite suppressant and is not designed to reduce hunger. It supports metabolism and body composition alongside a managed diet. What is the source of the probiotic?
