What Supplements Should I Take if I'm on Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Let's just start by saying that there's nothing you should be taking alongside a GLP-1. Everyone is on a unique journey, and each person will react differently to weight loss medication. But...

If you're one of the many incredible humans on Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or Wegovy (semaglutide), you've probably Googled your symptoms more times than you'd like to admit. "Why do I feel sick on Mounjaro?" "How to stop nausea on Wegovy?" "Why do my burps smell like eggs?" Sound familiar?

Here's the deal: GLP-1 medications work by slowing digestion, regulating blood sugar, and helping you feel fuller for longer. They're powerful tools in supporting weight management and metabolic health. But because they change the way your body processes food, side effects like reduced appetite, nausea, low energy, and potential nutrient absorption issues can creep in.

Nausea? Check ✔️. Random exhaustion? Check ✔️. Jab day burps that taste like rotten eggs (yep, the dreaded sulphur burps)? Double check ✔️✔️.

GLP-1 supplements

So, what can supplements actually help with?

GLP-1 medications don't directly cause deficiencies, but because you may be eating less overall (and often less of the "good stuff"), certain vitamins and minerals might be harder to get enough of. Plus, digestion changes can affect how well your body absorbs nutrients. Here's how targeted supplementation can help:

1. Combat Tiredness and Fatigue

You're not imagining it — some people on GLP-1s feel like they've been hit by a motivational truck.

  • • Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin):Energy metabolism MVP. Low B12 is linked to fatigue, mood dips, and even neurological issues over time.
  • • Iron (Bisglycinate):Especially if you're already borderline or menstruating. Low iron = low energy.
  • • Vitamin C + B-complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6):Support energy release and fight tiredness. GLP-1s can subtly interfere with B vitamin absorption in some people.

2. Support Digestion & Gut Comfort

  • • Lactobacillus acidophilus:A friendly probiotic that helps maintain healthy gut flora – crucial when your digestion slows down.
  • • Ginger Root Extract:Traditionally used to ease nausea (GLP-1 side effect #1).
  • • Peppermint Leaf Extract:Known for easing bloating and calming digestive discomfort.
Nausea Management

3. Manage Nausea and the Infamous Jab-Day Burps

  • • Vitamin B6 (P5P):Well-researched for its ability to reduce nausea, particularly in early pregnancy – and very applicable here.
  • • Folate (5-MTHF):Supports detoxification pathways and reduces homocysteine, which may help some people avoid jab-day crash symptoms.
  • • Zinc & Magnesium:Low levels may exacerbate nausea or digestive upset.
  • • Molybdenum:The unsung hero of sulphur metabolism. If you're experiencing the infamous "rotten egg burps," molybdenum may help your body break down sulphur compounds more efficiently. A lot of users find relief from sulphur burps with this one tiny mineral.

If your Google search history consists of "How to stop sulphur burps on Mounjaro?" "My burps smell like eggs," or "nausea after jab day" — molybdenum is one to watch.

4. Keep Mood, Skin, Hair & Hormones Balanced

When your food intake drops, so can your glow.

  • • Biotin, Selenium & Zinc:Known to support hair and nail health – and let's be honest, post-weight loss hair thinning is a legit fear.
  • • Inositol & Choline:Help regulate mood, liver function, and hormonal balance.
  • • Vitamin D3 & K2:Essential for immune support, bone health, and calcium absorption.

5. Blood Sugar & Cravings

  • • Chromium & Manganese:Support normal blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings.
  • • Betaine HCl:Helps stimulate stomach acid, supporting digestion and absorption.

Real Talk: What About Protein, Fats & Carbs?

Even with supplementation, your macros matter. GLP-1 meds can reduce appetite so much that your protein intake quietly plummets – and that can lead to muscle loss, slower metabolism, and low mood.

Prioritise:

  • • Protein first (aim for at least 60–80g per day depending on your needs):Think lean meats, tofu, eggs, protein shakes.
  • • Healthy fats (like avocado, olive oil, nuts):Great for hormones and keeping you fuller, longer.
  • • Smart carbs (wholegrains, veg, fruit):They're not the enemy. Your body still needs fibre, antioxidants, and glucose to function.

Low overall calorie intake can be helpful for weight loss, yes – but if you go too low for too long, side effects can worsen and your energy tanks. A calorie deficit is needed to lose weight but what this looks like is very individual. Start by using a TDEE calculator online as a rough guide and adjust as needed.

If your head is in a spin wondering "how many calories should I eat on Mounjaro?" or "am I eating too little on Wegovy?", you're not alone. Balance is everything.

Dosage, Side Effects & The Wild Ride

  • • Side effects tend to spike around injection day and a few days after.
  • • Nausea, fatigue, dizziness, sulphur burps, and mood swings often increase with dose changes.
  • • You might be totally fine on 0.25mg/2.5mg but feel like a deflated balloon on 1mg/5mg, then, your body adapts. Then it changes again. GLP-1 journeys aren't linear.

Symptoms can appear, disappear, or shape-shift depending on your dose, how much you've eaten, your hydration, and even the time of day. If you've laid in the dark typing "Why do I feel worse after upping my Mounjaro dose?" or "Week 4 on Wegovy and still sick" into Google at 2am, you are not alone.

So, if your energy dips, nausea spikes, or your bathroom schedule starts doing the cha-cha... don't panic. It's normal to need a little support.
