The Vitalé Protocol
What we recommend,
and why.
GLP-1 therapy creates specific nutritional gaps — protein intake, muscle preservation, and key micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, B12, and D3. We don't manufacture supplements. We curate clinical-grade products from three brands we trust: Thorne, Momentous, and Ritual.
This page is an editorial position, not a product catalog. Every recommendation below is based on clinical evidence and alignment with what GLP-1 users actually need.
By stage
Your needs change as you progress. These are the supplements we recommend at each stage.
Weeks 1–4
Side effect management
Thorne
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Highly bioavailable form that supports GI motility and helps manage the nausea and digestive disruption common in the first month on GLP-1 therapy.
Shop on Thorne →Momentous
Collagen Peptides
Supports gut lining integrity during the early weeks when appetite is suppressed and food intake is limited.
Shop on Momentous →Ritual
Essential Protein
Clean-label daily protein shake for members struggling to hit protein targets when appetite is dramatically reduced.
Shop on Ritual →Thorne
Basic Nutrients 2/Day
Comprehensive multivitamin baseline. GLP-1 users often reduce total food volume significantly — a clinical-grade multi closes the micronutrient gap.
Shop on Thorne →Thorne
Zinc Picolinate
GLP-1 therapy commonly disrupts taste and smell. Zinc supports sensory recovery and immune function.
Shop on Thorne →Thorne
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
B12 depletion is common on GLP-1 therapy and contributes to the fatigue members often report in weeks 2-4.
Shop on Thorne →Weeks 5–12
Nutrition optimization
Ritual
Essential Protein
Clean-label daily protein shake for members struggling to hit protein targets when appetite is dramatically reduced.
Shop on Ritual →Thorne
Basic Nutrients 2/Day
Comprehensive multivitamin baseline. GLP-1 users often reduce total food volume significantly — a clinical-grade multi closes the micronutrient gap.
Shop on Thorne →Thorne
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
B12 depletion is common on GLP-1 therapy and contributes to the fatigue members often report in weeks 2-4.
Shop on Thorne →Momentous
Essential Protein
Leucine-forward whey protein isolate engineered for muscle protein synthesis. The highest-quality option for hitting protein targets at 0.7-1g per lb of body weight.
Shop on Momentous →Momentous
Creatine Monohydrate
The most studied supplement in sports science. Supports muscle energy, strength, and lean mass preservation during weight loss.
Shop on Momentous →Thorne
Whey Protein Isolate
NSF Certified for Sport. A clinical-grade protein option for members who prefer Thorne's third-party testing and physician-grade sourcing.
Shop on Thorne →Thorne
Vitamin D3 with K2
Rapid weight loss on GLP-1 increases bone density risk. D3 and K2 work together to support calcium utilization and bone health.
Shop on Thorne →Ritual
Essential for Women 18+
Women-specific multivitamin with forms of iron and folate that address the nutritional gaps women on GLP-1 most commonly face.
Shop on Ritual →Thorne
Iron Bisglycinate
Women reducing red meat intake on GLP-1 often become iron-deficient. This is the gentlest, most absorbable form.
Shop on Thorne →Month 3 and beyond

HMB
The single most evidence-backed ingredient for muscle preservation during a caloric deficit. This is the core of the Vitalé muscle protocol.
Shop on Momentous →Momentous
Collagen + Vitamin C
Connective tissue support during significant weight loss. Vitamin C is the cofactor that enables collagen synthesis.
Shop on Momentous →Thorne
Amino Complex
Complete essential amino acid profile for members doing resistance training. Supports recovery and preserves lean mass.
Shop on Thorne →Thorne
Omega-3 with CoQ10
Cardiovascular support that stacks with the cardiac benefits of GLP-1 therapy itself. A long-term foundation supplement.
Shop on Thorne →Ritual
Essential Multivitamin
Clean-label, transparent-sourcing multi for ongoing micronutrient support once members are past the adjustment phase.
Shop on Ritual →By goal
