Supplements for GLP-1 Users*
Weight loss is about more than eating less. As your nutritional needs change, taking supplements can help fill common nutrient gaps while supporting energy, digestion, muscle health, and overall wellness.
Jamieson offers products that can support common nutrient deficiencies from GLP-1 medications.
Essential Nutritional Support
A weight loss journey requires focus on a healthy diet, yet nutrient deficiencies can still occur due to reduced appetite and malnutrition from GLP-1 medications. Supplementing with a multivitamin and additional antioxidants can offset vitamin and mineral deficiencies and help with free radical damage from rapid weight loss.
Digestive Support
Gastrointestinal health is one of the foundations of wellness, yet digestive issues like nausea, diarrhea, and constipation are all common concerns connected to weight loss medication use. Probiotics and gut soothing herbals like ginger can help with digestive upset and symptoms caused by GLP-1s medications.
Inflammation Relief
Some people experience localized inflammation and discomfort around GLP-1 injection sites or more broadly throughout the body. Herbals like Turmeric can help support and reduce inflammation in the body while providing antioxidant support to combat free radical damage from rapid weight loss.
Natural Energy Support
Maintaining energy levels is an important part of a weight loss journey but energy can be lower due to reduced appetite or lower intake of food while on a GLP-1 medication. Nutrients in the Vitamin B family can help support your body’s energy metabolism, converting food into usable energy for everyday activities.
Muscle & Bone Support
Nutrition changes related to weight loss can result in loss of muscle mass or bone density. Supplementing with key minerals like calcium and magnesium and vitamin D can help with the maintenance of healthy bones and proper muscle function.
