Appetite Suppression on Ozempic or Mounjaro: Nutrient Deficiency Risks & How to Support Yourself

GLP‑1 medications such as Ozempic® (semaglutide), Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) or Wegovy® reduce appetite significantly. While this supports weight loss and glycaemic control, it also often leads to reduced intake of key vitamins and minerals—especially from nutrient-dense meals.

Here’s how suppressed appetite can compromise your nutritional health—and what to look for in a supplement if you’re on these treatments.

🍽️ Why Appetite Loss Can Lead to Nutrient Deficiency

1. Fewer meals = fewer nutrients

Appetite suppression means smaller or skipped meals, which diminishes intake of iron, B vitamins, calcium, healthy fats, protein, magnesium and more.

2. Reduced dietary variety

When meals shrink, people often simplify their diet—fewer vegetables, legumes, fruit, proteins—resulting in lower micronutrient diversity.

3. Compounded deficiencies over time

Even mild shortfalls, over weeks or months, can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, anaemia, hair thinning, poor sleep and low mood.

🔍 Nutrients at Risk Due to Suppressed Appetite

Nutrient	Why It's Important	Risk When Appetite Suppressed
Iron	Red blood cell formation, energy levels	Reduced intake from lean meats/veg
B‑Complex (B1–B6, B12, Folate)	Energy metabolism, cognitive function, mood	Inadequate intake from cereals, protein
Biotin	Hair, skin, nail health	Often missing if diet is limited
Magnesium	Muscle, nerve, sleep and mood regulation	Less intake and absorption progress
Fat‑soluble vitamins (D, E, A, K)	Immunity, bone health, antioxidant function	Needs dietary fat to absorb; may be lacking
Zinc, Selenium	Thyroid, immunity, antioxidant defence	Low intake from diet can suppress levels

🌿 How TRINITY Supports Nutrient Needs When Appetite Drops

TRINITY by Arbor Vitamins is a three-phase multivitamin system designed to offset nutrient loss when appetite is reduced. Here’s how each formula step helps:

☀️ Morning Formula

Iron (Ferrous Bisglycinate) + Vitamin C for iron absorption and energy
Full B‑complex and folate (L‑5‑Methyl‑THF) for energy metabolism, cognition and mood
Biotin to support hair, skin and nail health

🌞 Day Formula

Vitamin B6 (P5P) & Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) to maintain energy and neurofunction throughout the day
Vitamin D3 + K2, calcium citrate-malate and zeaxanthin/lutein for bone, immunity, eye and antioxidant support

🌙 Night Formula

Magnesium Bisglycinate and Zinc Bisglycinate for muscle recovery, hormone balance and sleep support
Selenium, Vitamin E, beta‑carotene for cellular protection and overnight restoration

TRINITY’s time-optimised system ensures nutrients are delivered with the right co-factors and away from competitors like calcium and iron.

✅ How TRINITY Helps Mitigate Appetite-Related Deficiencies

Delivers key nutrients even when food intake is low
Uses bioavailable forms for better absorption (chelated minerals, methylated B‑vitamins, active Vitamin D3 & K2)
Keeps iron separate from calcium to avoid absorption interference
Supports hair, skin, immune, energy and sleep—areas most vulnerable during calorie restriction

✅ Final Takeaways

Appetite suppression on Ozempic or Mounjaro can unintentionally reduce intake of essential nutrients
Over time, this can lead to fatigue, anaemia, immune weakness and hair thinning
TRINITY is designed to fill nutrient gaps with clean, well‑absorbed, timed delivery — compensating for reduced dietary intake
