Weight Loss Drug Mounjaro: Expert Recommends Six Supplements to Optimize Health & results
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – As the popularity of the weight loss drug Mounjaro rises, a leading Brazilian nutritionist is urging patients to proactively support their health with targeted supplementation. Dr. Sabrina Guerreiro, a specialist in weight loss and clinical coordinator at Hospital Badim/Rede D’Or, outlines six key supplements to mitigate potential deficiencies and maximize the benefits of Mounjaro treatment.
According to Dr. Guerreiro, mounjaro’s effectiveness necessitates careful nutritional monitoring due to the rapid metabolic shifts it induces. “Accelerated weight loss quickly changes nutritional, hormonal and metabolic needs,” she explains. “The role of the nutritionist is to monitor exams, adjust doses, identify deficiencies and ensure that the necessary supplements are included in a safe and personalized way to protect muscles, energy, skin health and general well-being throughout the treatment. Without adequate supervision, the use of supplements can be inefficient or even inappropriate.”
Here are the six supplements Dr. Guerreiro recommends:
1.Whey Protein – Fueling Protein Goals: Dr. Guerreiro emphasizes the importance of adequate protein intake, and whey protein serves as a valuable tool to help individuals reach their personalized protein targets.
2. HMB (Hydroxymethylbutyrate) / PeptiStrong – Preserving Muscle Mass: Supplements like HMB and PeptiStrong directly impact protein synthesis. “It reduces muscle degradation, which is essential for those who are losing weight quickly,” Dr. Guerreiro states. “It is indeed one of the essential supplements when we seek to preserve or even gain lean mass.”
3. Coenzyme Q10 – Boosting Energy & Recovery: Patients experiencing calorie deficits may suffer from fatigue. Coenzyme Q10 provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, aiding post-workout recovery, protecting cells, and increasing energy levels.
4. Omega 3 – Reducing Inflammation & Supporting Metabolism: Omega 3 fatty acids are crucial for individuals on Mounjaro, offering heart protection and anti-inflammatory action. ”The nutrient helps control systemic inflammation,as it has an important anti-inflammatory action,and obesity is a chronic inflammatory state,” Dr.Guerreiro highlights.
5. Multivitamin – Correcting Nutritional Deficiencies: Reduced caloric intake can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. A multivitamin helps prevent issues like hair loss, nail fragility, tiredness, and weakened immunity, ensuring optimal bodily function.
6. Vitamin D – Supporting Overall Health: While not explicitly detailed in the provided text, Dr. Guerreiro stresses the importance of regular blood tests to identify and address any deficiencies, making vitamin D a potential addition based on individual needs.
Dr. Guerreiro, a graduate of Universidade Federal Fluminense with a postgraduate degree in Nutrology from the Brazilian Association of Nutrology, underscores that consistent monitoring by a nutritionist is essential throughout Mounjaro treatment. This includes tracking vitamin and mineral levels and metabolic changes to personalize the treatment plan and ensure both weight loss and overall well-being.
