Millions of people across North America are now using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound to support their health and weight-loss goals. These medications can be life-changing. They help reduce appetite, improve blood-sugar control and make people feel satisfied with smaller portions.

But there is one important side effect that does not get talked about enough: When you eat less food, you also take in fewer essential nutrients.

For many people, GLP-1 medications unintentionally create a nutritional gap. This is where smart supplementation can make a meaningful difference. At Nutramin, we're here to help you understand this new landscape so you can make confident choices about your health.  

GLP-1 medications work by slowing gastric emptying, reducing hunger signals and helping you feel full on smaller portions. 

That's helpful for calorie reduction, but it also means:
• Less food means fewer vitamins and minerals

• More nausea often leads to skipped meals

• Food aversions reduce diet variety

• Lower protein intake affects muscle, energy and recovery

Dietitians across North America are reporting the same pattern. Many GLP-1 users struggle to meet basic micronutrient needs, especially for:

• B vitamins

• Folate

• Vitamin D

• Iron

• Magnesium

• Omega-3s

• Antioxidant support

This pattern mirrors what clinicians observe after bariatric surgery. When stomach volume is lower, nutrient intake often drops.

A daily multivitamin acts like nutritional insurance. It supports foundational health even when your appetite is low.

GLP-1 medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1. This hormone helps regulate appetite, blood sugar and digestion. When activated, GLP-1 slows the rate your stomach empties, reduces hunger signals and helps you feel fuller with less food. Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound use this same pathway to support weight-loss and blood-sugar control. Here's what research and clinical experience show.

Lower food intake often means lower B-vitamin intake. Since B vitamins support energy metabolism, restoring these nutrients can make a noticeable difference in vitality.

Rapid changes in diet can affect the micronutrients involved in keratin production. A healthy, natural multivitamin helps protect these tissues during weight-loss phases.

Less food volume means fewer immune-supportive nutrients. A daily multivitamin fills those gaps consistently.

Nutrients like B6, B12 and folate support neurotransmitter pathways that influence mood. During metabolic changes, steady intake of these vitamins becomes especially important.

Many GLP-1 users say things like:

• Pills are hard on my stomach

• Some days I cannot tolerate a tablet or capsule

• I need something gentle that will not worsen nausea

As GLP-1 medications become more common, healthcare providers are recommending supplementation more often, especially multivitamins and electrolytes.

Emerging research and consumer data show that GLP-1 users:

• Are two to three times more likely to take a multivitamin

• Are more aware of nutrient gaps

• Prefer gentle, easy-to-take formats

• Look for sugar-free and gut-friendly options

• Value brands with clean labels and trustworthy sourcing
