Kris Jenner has said she tried using GLP-1 jabs like Ozempic but gave up using the medication because it made her feel ‘really sick’.
Ozempic is a prescription medication approved to treat adults in the United Kingdom and the USA with type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels.
Around 30 million American adults, including a slew of famous faces, have admitted to using the jabs. But one celebritywho does not include herself as an Ozempic fan is Jenner, 70.
“I did not do, like, an Ozempic,” Jenner said. “I tried it. We tried it once when no one knew what it was and it made me really sick.”

She recalled feeling as if she ‘couldn’t work’ whilst injecting herself with the medication.
“I can't. I'm so sick. I can't, like nauseous.”
Clinical trials have shown that around 24 percent of people who used a 1mg Ozempic dose may experience nausea or overwhelming sickness, as per Asda Online Doctor.
Other very common side effects of the GLP-1 include diarrhoea and low blood sugar when combined with sulfonylurea or insulin.
The Kardashian-Jenner ‘momager’ explained to women's advocate Mary Alice Haney on Dr Thaïs Aliabadi’s SHE MD Podcast that the expert listened to her complaints and told her that they would ‘try something else’.
After giving up Ozempic, the businesswoman found peptide injections worked ‘really great’ for her.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Studies suggest they may provide pro-ageing support, as per Medical News Today.
The American Medical Association has also suggested that the injectables may also induce weight loss and improve athletic performance.
Research into peptides is still ongoing and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do not regulate supplements in the same way they do medications.
It’s always worth contacting and consulting with your doctor before you follow in Jenner’s footsteps.
Elsewhere in the interview, the mum-of-six said she follows up her injectables with supplements, such as fish oils and omega-3s.
Fatty acids such as omega-3 have been linked to a wealth of health benefits, including reducing inflammation, enhancing brain function, and promoting eye health, as per the British Heart Foundation.
Foods that are high in omega-3s include mackerel, salmon, trout, sardines and anchovies.
Plant-based alternatives include flaxseed, chia seeds, soya beans, and walnuts.
Jenner called her new routine ‘a game changer’ and said that it has bought her an ‘extra couple hours’ of sleep ever night.
“I get up so early. I tend to want to go and collapse as soon as I have my last email or my last call or see my kids and have dinner and I'm done,” she admitted.
Since indulging in her peptide-supplement cocktail, Jenner has also noticed an improvement in her hair, nails, and skin.
However, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians favourite also claimed that the facelift she had in 2025 was ‘very helpful’.The star previously told Vogue Arabia that she pursued the procedure with plastic surgeon Dr Steven Levine because she wanted to be ‘the best version’ of herself.
“I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy,” she alleged.
