GLP-1 medication hubs
One page per medication with the facts that matter for nutrition: protein targets, electrolyte needs, side-effect playbooks, and the supplements worth taking. Covers Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, semaglutide, and tirzepatide.
Ozempic
Ozempic is once-weekly semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that slows gastric emptying and reduces appetite. Because food intake typically falls 30–40%, the highest-value support is protein (0.7–1.0 g per pound of goal weight), electrolytes, magnesium glycinate at night, 5–10 g of soluble fiber, and a B-complex with vitamin D. Supplements do not change how Ozempic works — they replace the nutrients smaller meals no longer supply.
Open hubWegovy
Wegovy is semaglutide dosed for weight management, titrated to 2.4 mg weekly. At maintenance dose most users eat 35–50% less, so protein, electrolytes, magnesium, fiber, and a daily multivitamin matter more than on lower diabetes doses. Prioritise protein and resistance training to limit lean-mass loss, and step up electrolytes during each titration increase.
Open hubMounjaro
Mounjaro is once-weekly tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Appetite suppression is generally stronger than on semaglutide, so protein (0.8–1.0 g per pound of goal weight), electrolytes, magnesium glycinate, a gut-health blend, and vitamin D3/K2 are the highest-value supports. Nothing you take makes tirzepatide work better — supplements exist to protect muscle, energy, and digestion while you eat less.
Open hubZepbound
Zepbound is tirzepatide approved for chronic weight management. Because average weight loss is the highest of any current GLP-1 medication, muscle protection is the top priority: 0.8–1.0 g of protein per pound of goal weight plus resistance training 2–3 times per week. Electrolytes, magnesium glycinate, soluble fiber, and vitamin D3/K2 handle hydration, sleep, digestion, and bone health.
Open hubSemaglutide
Semaglutide is the GLP-1 receptor agonist sold as Ozempic and Rybelsus for type 2 diabetes and Wegovy for weight management. The nutrition strategy is the same across brands: 0.7–1.0 g of protein per pound of goal weight, daily electrolytes, 200–400 mg magnesium glycinate at night, 5–10 g soluble fiber, and a B-complex with vitamin D3/K2. Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) additionally requires a 30-minute fasted window before food or supplements.
Open hubTirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist sold as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes and Zepbound for weight management. It suppresses appetite more strongly than semaglutide, so protein at 0.8–1.0 g per pound of goal weight, daily electrolytes, magnesium glycinate, a gut-health blend, and vitamin D3/K2 are the practical priorities. Resistance training two to three times weekly is as important as any supplement for preserving lean mass.
