Losing weight well means keeping your muscle, staying nourished while you eat less, and feeling good along the way. This protocol, selected by our pharmacists, supports healthy weight management alongside the plan you've built with your provider. If you're on a GLP-1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide, add the GLP-1 Support products for extra help with the most common side effects. Foundation (everyone) Protein powder (whey isolate or plant blend). Mix 1 scoop (25–30 g protein) with water or milk, 1–2 times daily. Use it to help reach the daily protein goal set by your provider, especially on days your appetite is low. Multivitamin/mineral. Take 1 serving daily with food. Eating less means getting fewer nutrients from food, and this fills the gaps. Psyllium fiber. Start with 1 teaspoon in 8 oz of water once daily, increasing slowly over 1–2 weeks as tolerated. Drink plenty of fluids. Take it at least 2 hours apart from other medications. Vitamin D3 (with or without K2). Take 1,000–2,000 IU daily with a meal, unless your provider recommends a different amount based on lab work. Magnesium glycinate. Take 200–400 mg in the evening. It supports sleep, muscle function, and blood sugar regulation. Choose magnesium citrate instead if constipation is a concern. GLP-1 Support (add if you're on semaglutide or tirzepatide) Creatine monohydrate. Take 3–5 g daily, mixed into your protein shake or any drink. Combined with strength training, it helps preserve lean muscle during weight loss. Check with your provider first if you have kidney disease. Electrolyte mix (sugar-free). Take 1 packet in water daily, plus a second on hot or active days. GLP-1 medications reduce thirst, so it's easy to fall behind on fluids. Check with your provider first if you're on a sodium-restricted diet or have kidney or heart conditions. Ginger extract. Take 250–500 mg as needed for nausea, up to 1,000 mg daily. It's most helpful in the days after a dose increase. Check with your provider first if you take blood thinners. Our pharmacists put this protocol together to support you through your weight-management journey. Start with the Foundation products. If you're on a GLP-1, add the Support products.
