Supplements and GLP-1 agonists.

Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and the supplement questions that matter at reduced food intake.

GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide) slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite. The interaction surface is not classical pharmacology so much as logistics: at substantially lower food intake, micronutrient adequacy stops being automatic.

The supplement questions worth asking on a GLP-1 are mostly about coverage: protein adequacy first (whey or pea protein at 25 to 40 g per day is a reasonable floor for muscle preservation), then a multivitamin for general micronutrient cover, then magnesium if cramps or sleep change. Slower gastric emptying may push timing of mineral supplements toward later in the day. We are still expanding direct GLP-1 interaction coverage; tell us what you take and we will check.

How we decide

How we grade severity, choose what's in scope, and what we exclude.

Every call on this page is reasoned. We publish the full rubric for severity tiers, the medication inclusion logic, the evidence grades we accept, and what we deliberately leave out. About three thousand words. Worth reading once if you use this tool more than occasionally.

Your whole stack

Want this checked across everything you take?

This page checks the pairs you enter. The personalised Distil report goes further:

  • the same graded, cited interaction check across your whole stack, not just the pairs you thought to type in
  • where your current routine may be leaving you short of your goals
  • the evidence-backed compounds worth adding, and the ones worth dropping

It's a paid report: £79, or £49 for the first 25 customers. The interactions check is one section of it, and you can read a real one in full before you buy.

Distil's interactions database is reviewed and updated every quarter. We grade evidence transparently and publish our methodology, including every database change, at /about/methodology. This tool is information, not a substitute for clinical judgement. If you take medication and supplements together, your GP or pharmacist can review your full regimen against your medical history. If you want a full personalised stack reasoned against this same database, the Distil report is the next step up.
