Description
Plenity (Gelesis100) – FDA-Cleared Prescription Weight Management Aid
What is Plenity?
Plenity (Gelesis100) is an FDA-cleared prescription aid for weight management in adults with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 40. Unlike traditional weight loss drugs, Plenity is a medical device in capsule form. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Instead, it works mechanically in your digestive system to help you feel full, reduce food intake, and support long-term weight management.
Plenity is designed to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program. It is suitable for overweight or obese adults, including those with conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
How does Plenity (Gelesis100) work?
Plenity capsules contain thousands of hydrogel particles made from two naturally derived ingredients: cellulose and citric acid.
- Take three capsules with 16 ounces of water 20–30 minutes before lunch and dinner.
- Capsules dissolve in the stomach, releasing hydrogel particles.
- These particles expand up to 100 times their size, creating a gel that fills part of your stomach.
- The gel mixes with food, increasing feelings of fullness during and after meals.
- It passes naturally through the digestive system without absorption.
Clinical Results
- 59% of patients lost at least 5% of body weight.
- 27% lost at least 10% of body weight.
- People with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes were up to six times more likely to lose 10% of their body weight.

I was honestly skeptical at first, but Gelesis100 helped curb my appetite way better than I expected. I don’t feel like snacking constantly anymore, and that alone has made a difference. It’s been three weeks and my jeans finally zip without a war.

Love that it’s not some jittery pill—just feels natural. The bloating in the first few days was real, but after that, I started seeing progress. Down 6 lbs already and counting!
