SUPPLEMENTS FOR A MONJARO AND HRT USER

HELLO ALL, I've BEEN ON MONJARO FOR ABOUT 19 MONTHS SO I AM ALWAYS WITHOUT AN APPETITE. I AM ALSO TAKING HRT MEDS. I AM CURIOUIS, WHAT'S THE MIX OF SUPPLEMENTS HELPING YOUFILL IN THE NUTRITION, AND MINERAL GAPS??

I've been on the same combo for about a year and my GP flagged low iron and B12 at my last check, so I added a basic multivitamin plus sublingual B12. Protein powder is the only other thing I bother with since solid food is a struggle most days

I'm on HRT too and had to add iron after my levels came back low, which I didn't expect since I barely eat red meat anymore. Did you get a full panel done or are you going off how you feel?

I'm on HRT too and dropped 55 lbs, and honestly the only thing I added was a basic multivitamin plus a protein shake on days I barely eat. Everything else felt like guesswork without labs.

What did your full panel actually flag? I keep hearing HRT can shift absorption but I have no idea which numbers to even watch for.

Curious whether you've had a full panel done since starting HRT, mine shifted a couple of things I didn't expect and I ended up dropping a supplement I'd been taking for ages

Do you split your protein across the day or slam it all in one shake?

What did your labs actually flag first? I went in expecting iron to be the issue and it was vitamin d instead, which i would never have guessed on my own

idk, do you split your protein shake into a couple of smaller ones through the day? That's the only thing that's kept me from feeling wiped out on the days I barely eat.

Do you split your protein shake across the day or just choke one down when food is impossible?

Curious what your HRT doc says about the panel, mine wanted a say before I added anything beyond a shake and D3

I've been stacking D3 and a protein shake too, but honestly the magnesium timing was the thing I had to fiddle with. Did you ever get a full panel done or are you just going off how you feel?

Curious whether your HRT prescriber has any opinion on the magnesium, mine just shrugged and said fine. I keep it to a shake and D3 because anything bigger sits weird on an empty stomach

I'm on HRT too and my labs came back low on D3 and iron, so those are the two I actually stick with. The iron was a surprise since I blamed the fatigue on barely eating.

I keep it boring, just a basic multi plus D3 and a protein shake on days food sounds awful. Curious whether you've had labs done since starting HRT, that's what actually told me where I was short.

What are you actually able to eat on a normal day? I ask because my intake is so low that i ended up just focusing on a protein shake and a basic multi rather than trying to cover every gap

Do you split your supplements around the injection day or just take them on your normal schedule? I've been timing my iron and B12 away from my shot day out of pure superstition, no real reason

How low are your protein days actually going?

Do you split your magnesium from any calcium you take?

I'm on Zepbound and HRT too and my iron tanked without me noticing, so the ferritin check people mentioned is worth doing. These days I just keep a multivitamin and a protein shake around since actual meals are so hit or miss
