Optimize Your GLP-1 Plan: The Best Supplements to Support Weight Loss, Muscle Health, and Lasting Energy

Written By Restore Pharmacy

You Have the Medication. You Have the Plan. Now Let’s Take It to the Next Level.

If you’re on a GLP-1 medication like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes or weight loss, you’ve already taken a huge step toward better health. GLP-1s are powerful tools, but to feel your absolute best, it’s critical to support your body’s changing needs.

GLP-1 medications can curb appetite, promote fat loss, and lower blood sugar—but they can also lead to:

  • Reduced nutrient absorption

  • Muscle loss if you’re not getting enough protein

  • Low energy due to rapid body composition changes

  • Slower metabolism without the right micronutrient support

At Restore Compounding Pharmacy, we help patients go beyond the prescription pad. Our goal? Help you feel stronger, build lean muscle, and sustain your transformation for the long haul.

Why Supplements Matter on a GLP-1 Plan

As your appetite shrinks and your digestive system slows (a key effect of GLP-1s), your nutrient intake may suffer. Over time, this can result in:

Fatigue
Hair thinning
Constipation or slow digestion
Brain fog
Muscle loss

That’s why strategic supplementation is key. The right blend of vitamins, minerals, and performance-focused peptides helps fill the gaps and enhance your outcomes.

Top Supplements to Supercharge Your GLP-1 Results

1. Protein + Amino Acids for Muscle Retention

While fat loss is a goal, preserving (and building) muscle is essential.
We recommend:

  • Whey protein or plant-based protein blends

  • Essential amino acids (EAAs)

  • Creatine (especially in older adults)

  • BCAA blends for active patients

Restore offers pharmacist-approved peptide options that support lean mass retention, energy, and recovery.

Pro Tip: Ask about CJC/Ipamorelin or Sermorelin formulations to boost metabolism and protect muscle mass.

2. Vitamin B12 & B-Complex

GLP-1s can reduce appetite—but also reduce B-vitamin absorption, especially B12.
This can result in:

  • Fatigue

  • Mood swings

  • Poor sleep

  • Brain fog

Restore offers formulations of vitamin B12 to bypass digestion and provide fast, effective support.

3. Magnesium

Vital for blood sugar balance, nerve health, and bowel regularity, magnesium is often depleted with GLP-1 use.

Restore’s formulations include:

  • Magnesium glycinate for sleep and mood

  • Magnesium Threonate for relaxation and muscle recovery

  • Custom blends for post-exercise recovery

4. Digestive Support

Because GLP-1 slows the digestive tract, patients may experience bloating, nausea, or constipation.
Restore recommends:

  • Probiotics

  • Digestive enzymes to help break down food efficiently

5. Vitamin D3 + K2

Low Vitamin D levels are common in people with insulin resistance—and deficiency can make it harder to lose weight, manage blood sugar, and stay energized.

We compound:

  • High-potency Vitamin D3

  • D3 + K2 blends for optimal bone and cardiovascular health

6. Electrolytes & Hydration Boosters

Appetite suppression can mean lower fluid and mineral intake.
Restore recommends electrolyte packs that include:

  • Sodium, potassium, magnesium

  • Added taurine and B6 for energy

  • No added sugars or artificial dyes

These are perfect for patients on low-carb or lower-calorie diets.
