Supplements guide

Support for your body & brain

Popular, evidence-informed picks for GLP-1, mood, ADHD focus and peri-menopause — plus cross-over supplements that help more than one area. This is not medical advice; run new supplements past your clinician, especially with existing meds.

Electrolytes (Na / K / Mg)

1 sachet daily

GLP-1s reduce appetite and thirst — easy to under-drink and get headaches, cramps, or fatigue.

20–40 g/day

Protects lean muscle while calories drop and cravings shrink. Aim for 1.2–1.6 g protein / kg body weight.

Psyllium husk fibre

5–10 g with water

Eases GLP-1 constipation and helps satiety without adding calories.

200–400 mg AM

Adaptogen that reduces mental fatigue and improves task persistence.

Zinc (bisglycinate)

15–25 mg with food

Low zinc is linked to poorer ADHD symptom control; supports dopamine function.

Low ferritin worsens ADHD and restless legs — test before supplementing.

⚠️ Get a blood test first; don't take blindly.
