What's in each bundle
Contents are listed by ingredient, not brand, along with safety notes and the ingredients we discuss but do not include. This is educational content, not medical advice.
Daily nutritional groundwork while you are eating less than you used to.
Inside this bundle
- Multivitamin — covers everyday vitamin and mineral gaps when total food intake drops
- Omega-3 fish oil — supports normal heart and brain function
- Vitamin D3 with K2 (5,000 IU) — supports normal bone health and immune function
- Magnesium glycinate (150 mg elemental) — contributes to normal muscle and nervous system function
- NAC (N-acetylcysteine) (500 mg) — a precursor your body uses in normal glutathione production
Safety notes
- If you have kidney disease or take medication affected by mineral intake, talk to your provider before taking magnesium.
- Vitamin K can interact with blood thinners such as warfarin. Tell your provider if you take one.
Not included
- Electrolytes: We write about electrolytes because they matter on a GLP-1 — but they are not in this bundle. Our dispensary does not currently carry an electrolyte product, so source one separately if you want it.
Supports lean muscle while you are losing weight quickly.
Inside this bundle
- Creatine monohydrate — the most studied supplement for supporting strength and lean mass alongside resistance training
- Grass-fed whey protein isolate (20 g per serving) — helps you reach a protein target when appetite makes food alone difficult
Safety notes
- Creatine: drink enough water, and check with your provider first if you have any kidney concerns.
- Whey is a dairy protein. Not suitable if you have a milk allergy.
Not included
- Leucine and BCAAs: We discuss leucine because of its role in muscle protein synthesis — but there is no BCAA product in this bundle. Whey protein isolate is naturally rich in leucine, so adequate protein intake covers most of what a separate BCAA supplement would.
- Collagen: Collagen is in the Hair & Skin Nutrition Bundle rather than this one. For muscle specifically, whey is the better-supported protein source.
Supports cellular energy production and everyday recovery.
Inside this bundle
- CoQ10 — involved in the process cells use to produce energy
- Alpha lipoic acid — an antioxidant that supports normal cellular function
- Acetyl L-carnitine — involved in how cells transport fatty acids for energy
- Nicotinamide riboside (an NAD+ precursor) (300 mg) — supports normal cellular energy production
Safety notes
- Talk to your provider before starting these if you take medication for diabetes or thyroid conditions.
Not included
- Ashwagandha and lion's mane: Both were considered and removed on the advice of our medical reviewer. They are not in this bundle.
- NMN: We use nicotinamide riboside rather than NMN. The FDA has taken the position that NMN is excluded from the dietary supplement definition, so we do not carry it.
Targeted nutrients that support hair, skin, and nails during rapid weight change.
Inside this bundle
- Hair support formula with biotin — supplies nutrients involved in normal hair and nail maintenance
- Multi-collagen peptides — a protein source supplying amino acids your body uses to build its own collagen
Safety notes
- ⚠ IMPORTANT — this bundle contains biotin from TWO sources, so the combined dose is higher than either label alone. High-dose biotin can interfere with thyroid and hormone blood tests and produce misleading results. Pause it 2–3 days before bloodwork and tell whoever ordered the test.
- The collagen is a multi-collagen blend. If the source matters to you for dietary or religious reasons, check the product label before ordering.
Not included
- Iron: Deliberately not included. Iron should only be taken with a lab result showing you need it — taking it without a documented deficiency can cause harm. Ask your provider for a ferritin test first.
Supports digestive comfort and regularity while your intake is lower.
Inside this bundle
- Ginger root extract — traditionally used to support digestive comfort
- 16-strain probiotic with FOS — supports the balance of bacteria in the gut
- Multi-fiber prebiotic blend — adds fiber back when eating less means eating less of it
Safety notes
- Take any fiber supplement 1–2 hours away from all oral medications — fiber can interfere with how they are absorbed.
- Take fiber with plenty of fluid. Fiber without enough water makes constipation worse, not better.
- If you have gone several days without a bowel movement and have severe abdominal pain, a distended abdomen, or vomiting, contact your provider rather than adding a supplement.
Not included
- Psyllium husk: We previously listed psyllium. This bundle now uses a multi-fiber prebiotic blend instead. The medication-timing guidance above applies to any bulk fiber, including this one.
