There’s a moment—quiet, private, undeniable—where you realize something must change.

Maybe it hits you while staring at the scale that hasn’t moved in years. Maybe it’s the fatigue that settles in your bones after a long day. Maybe it’s the whispered fear: Will my health hold up another decade if I keep going like this?

For many people, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Zepbound, Saxenda, and Victoza have opened a door that once felt bolted shut. Suddenly, weight loss feels possible—not through willpower alone, but with real metabolic support.

But here’s the truth no one prepares you for:

Weight loss—especially rapid or medication-supported weight loss—requires nourishment, muscle protection, gut stability, and electrolyte balance. Otherwise, you lose more than weight… You lose strength, energy, and the foundation your metabolism stands on.

That’s why I’m writing this. That’s why Thorne created the GLP-1 Support Stack. And that’s why this matters for your long-term success.

Why GLP-1 Users Need Extra Support

When GLP-1 medications slow digestion and reduce appetite, most people naturally eat far less food.

It feels easier. You feel full quickly. But here’s the hidden challenge:

Less food = fewer nutrients, fewer amino acids, fewer minerals, and fewer electrolytes.And long-term, that can weaken muscles, slow metabolism, and impair recovery.

Thorne designed their GLP-1 Support Stack specifically for this new landscape of modern weight loss—a landscape where people lose weight, yes, but also want to maintain strength, vitality, hydration, and gut health.

This stack supports:

  • Individuals on GLP-1 medications for weight loss

  • People with type 2 diabetes using GLP-1s

  • Anyone undergoing significant, intentional weight-loss efforts

What’s Inside Thorne’s GLP-1 Support Stack

Below are your four pillars—the nutritional safety net beneath your weight-loss journey.

1. Basic Nutrients 2/Day — Foundational Nutrition

When your appetite drops, your micronutrient intake drops with it. Basic Nutrients 2/Day fills those gaps gently and efficiently.

Benefits:

  • Replaces nutrients lost from reduced intake

  • Uses mineral chelates for superior absorption

  • Provides active B vitamins for energy and metabolism

  • Only two capsules per day cover the essentials

This is the “don’t let your body fall behind” multivitamin.

2. Complete Biotic — Gut Stability & Comfort

GLP-1s slow stomach emptying—which helps with fullness, but can create:

  • Bloating

  • Gas

  • Indigestion

  • Irregular bowel movements

Complete Biotic helps maintain digestive comfort and consistency. Plus, the orange fast-melt powder dissolves right on your tongue—no swallowing required.

Aids with:

  • Occasional indigestion

  • Bowel regularity

  • Gas and bloating

  • Stool consistency

3. Amino Complex — Muscle Strength During Weight Loss

When you're eating less and losing weight, your body pulls protein from the easiest place available:

Your muscle tissue.

But losing muscle can slow metabolism and increase fatigue.

Amino Complex provides rapidly absorbed amino acids that support:

  • Muscle repair

  • Strength maintenance

  • Tendons, ligaments, bones, and connective tissues

Available in berry or lemon—and included in your stack.

4. Daily Electrolytes — Hydration at the Cellular Level

GLP-1 users often drink less without realizing it. Little appetite often means little thirst.

But dehydration is one of the most common causes of:

  • Fatigue

  • Headaches

  • Nausea

  • Muscle cramps

  • Dizziness

Daily Electrolytes provides:

  • Sodium

  • Chloride

  • Magnesium

  • Calcium

  • Potassium

This supports fluid balance, nerve conduction, and cellular hydration. The Variety Pack includes watermelon, blood orange, and mango-limeade.

Certified Safe, Tested, and Trusted

Every product in the GLP-1 Support Stack undergoes:

  • Third-party testing

  • Clean, transparent labeling

  • Contaminant screening (heavy metals, pesticides, microorganisms)

This is real, evidence-based support—not hype.

How GLP-1 Medications Actually Work

Understanding GLP-1s makes the benefits of the Support Stack even more obvious.

GLP-1 medications mimic a natural gut hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1) that:

  • Lowers blood sugar after meals

  • Slows stomach emptying

  • Increases fullness

  • Signals the brain to stop eating

Semaglutides, liraglutides, and tirzepatides all work slightly differently, but the goal is the same:

Help the body release weight without relying solely on willpower.
