Tips for Avoiding Mounjaro Side Effects

If you’re struggling to get enough nutrients in through your diet, and subsequently suffering from side effects, please contact your provider in the first instance. However, if you’re looking to reduce the likelihood of encountering any, the below supplements can be used to help in areas you’re struggling with.

Taking some key pointers from Oushk Pharmacy you should focus on a balanced diet, limiting high-fat and processed foods, increase your fibre intake, reduce or eliminate your intake of alcohol, and be sure to stay hydrated. Furthermore, Phlo Clinic are keen to point out the need to prioritise protein, with Oxford Online highlighting the need for promoting good gut health.

Ensuring a good protein intake

To make sure you don’t lose muscle over fat, you need to make sure you get enough protein in your diet. This collagen powder helps to improve the elasticity of your skin, and provides 11.7g of protein at the same time. Personally I use it with Yazoo powder to make an extra tasty milkshake. However, it also dissolves in hot drinks like coffee or tea.

Increasing fibre

As mentioned by Oushk Pharmacy, increasing your fibre intake, as part of a balanced diet, is important for avoiding one of the more dangerous side effects – pancreatitis. If you struggle to get enough, these vegan high fibre gummies might be able to help.

Slow digestion

It’s the name of the game with Mounjaro, but this can impact your gut health. You can promote good gut bacteria through specific yoghurts (Actimel etc.) or supplements. Some options from Wellgard are Rise Ready (50 billion CPU per serving), Gutstar (20 billion), or Vita Flora (female targeted).

Multivitamins

These can be a good option if you’re worried you don’t get enough nutrients and minerals from your normal food intake. You can get them from any supermarket or chemist, or these My Journey ones are available online.

Struggling to sleep?

One of the top recommendations from the Sleep Foundation is to use Magnesium Glycinate supplements. Magnesium can help you sleep longer, get better quality sleep, and feel less tired.

Not good at keeping hydrated?

Numan highlight the importance of keeping hydrated whilst taking Mounjaro, particularly if you’re suffering from sickness or diarrhoea. Having a drink readily accessible, without the added faff of unscrewing a lid or constant refilling can help promote this. Meoky offer a range of pretty yet practical options. They can fit in the cup holder of your car, and are fully insulated to keep drinks cold for longer.
