Why Supplement at All?
GLP-1s change how—and how much—you eat. That can create nutrient gaps affecting energy, mood, and metabolism.
Strategic supplementation helps maintain optimal function while the medication does its job.
Core Supplements for GLP-1 Patients
-
Magnesium Glycinate: Prevents constipation, supports muscle and nerve health.
-
B-Complex (B6 + B12): Offsets appetite-related deficiencies and supports mitochondrial energy.
-
Protein Powder or Collagen: Maintains lean mass during weight loss.
-
Creatine Monohydrate: Improves muscle retention and cognitive performance.
-
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduces inflammation and supports cardiovascular health.
-
Electrolytes: Replace sodium, potassium, magnesium lost with appetite changes.
Optional Add-Ons for Brain + Body Support
-
NAD+ Injectables or Capsules: Boost cellular repair and energy.
-
Peptide Stacks (CJC/Ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, BPC-157): Aid recovery, sleep, skin, and gut lining.
-
Vitamin D + K2: Essential for hormone balance and bone health.
What to Avoid
Skip “fat-burner” supplements. They rarely work and can stress the nervous system while on GLP-1s.
