Nutrition and supplements

Healthy, gradual weight loss

The aim is gradual loss that helps protect muscle and reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies and loose skin. A lower appetite can help, but your body still needs protein, fluids, and nutrients to support your health, hair, and energy.

Balanced meal with protein, vegetables, whole grains, and water
Your daily routine

Four rules that matter more than any supplement

🥚 01

Start with protein

Include eggs, dairy, chicken, fish, meat, or legumes in your main meal.

🍽 02

Reduce portion size

Eat slowly and stop at the first sign of fullness. Large meals can worsen nausea.

💧 03

Drink in small amounts

Keep water nearby, especially if you have vomiting or diarrhoea.

🥬 04

Increase fibre gradually

Add vegetables, fruit, legumes, and oats, with enough fluids.

Practical options, not requirements

If you want a supplement, keep the choice clear and safe

There is no vitamin that everyone must take with Mounjaro. These are optional purchasing choices for someone with limited food intake or hair shedding, after reviewing their individual situation.

Multivitamin

Centrum Adults

An optional daily choice if your meals become limited. Follow the package directions. It does not replace protein or treat a proven deficiency.

Hair support

Viviscal Hair Growth

An option after assessing the cause of hair loss. It contains a marine complex and iron, is unsuitable for fish or shellfish allergy, and results are not guaranteed.

iHerb
Do not automatically combine both: Viviscal contains iron and other nutrients that overlap with Centrum. Ask your doctor or pharmacist, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding or if you have a chronic condition. Price and availability may change.
If hair shedding begins

Treat the cause before adding more supplements

1

Review the speed of loss and your intake

Very rapid weight loss and low protein or calorie intake can cause temporary shedding.

2

Test according to your situation

You may need a blood count, iron stores, thyroid, vitamin D, or B12 testing depending on your symptoms.

3

Choose suitable treatment

Discuss supplements, and see a dermatologist if hair loss is patchy, itchy, causes scarring, or persists.

Protect muscle

The scale does not tell the whole story.

Combine adequate protein with resistance exercise two or three times a week, according to your ability. If you have kidney disease, agree on your protein intake with your doctor.

WalkingStart with what you can do and build gradually.
ResistanceUse weights, bands, or body weight.
SleepSleep supports appetite control and recovery.
