Your GLP-1 didn't cause your hair loss. Your plate did.

If you're on a GLP-1 and your hair is changing, the cause isn't the shot — and it isn't you. It's something quieter. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

However it reached you, you remember the exact moment.

The shower floor, and how much more of you was on it than there used to be. A photo — one bad angle, one honest light — and a part line that didn't look like yours anymore.

Or nothing you could point to at all. Just your own hands knowing, the hundredth time you pulled it back, that there was less of it to gather.

And then the thing you haven't said to anyone: the small, cold fear that you're trading one thing you wanted for something you can't get back.

You're not imagining it. You're not being vain. And you are very, very far from the only one.

Food was never just calories

Your body is making a choice. And hair loses.

The medication turns your appetite down — and it works. People on it eat thirty to forty percent less. That's the win. That's the whole point.

But food was where your iron came from. Your zinc. Your B12, your vitamin D. Cut the food, and you cut the delivery of all of it.

Your body will protect your heart and your brain and spend your hair to do it — every time, without asking you first.

That's not it failing. That's it working exactly as it was built to.

0^%

Eat forty percent less. Absorb forty percent less of everything it carried. That's the entire story.

Read the research and one word changes everything: shortage. Not damage. Not disease. Not something broken in you.

A shortage is the one kind of problem that comes with its own obvious answer.

What the research now shows

It was never a mystery.
And it was never you.

The evidence

A 2025 clinical study measured a median 13% drop in iron absorption within ten weeks on semaglutide-class medication — nearly one in five patients dropped 30% or more. Melis et al., Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2025
A 2026 review of roughly 480,000 adults found that by month six, 12.7% had a newly diagnosed nutritional deficiency — vitamin D first, then iron and B vitamins. Urbina et al., Clinical Obesity, 2026;16(1):e70070
Dermatology has known for decades that rapid weight loss and restricted intake trigger telogen effluvium — a temporary shedding tied to low iron, zinc, vitamin D and protein. It shows up about three months in. American Academy of Dermatology; Cleveland Clinic

Three months. Right about when the compliments start — and right about when the drain starts keeping score.

What replenishment actually looks like

This is the exact gap Restore Well was built to close — and it's worth being precise, because this shelf is crowded with people who aren't.

Restore Well Daily Replenishment Complex

Two capsules daily · 60 per bottle

The nutrients the research keeps naming. Iron (ferrous bisglycinate, 18 mg), zinc (20 mg), vitamin D3 (50 mcg), magnesium (200 mg) — to support normal energy, immunity and muscle function.*
Pre-activated B vitamins. Methyl B12 and active folate (L-5-MTHF) — the forms your body uses directly, no conversion needed.*
Absorption built in. BioPerine® black pepper extract, to help you actually absorb what's alongside it.*
Made for an opinionated stomach. Ginger, peppermint, bromelain and enzymes, plus LactoSpore® probiotic (6B CFU), for digestive comfort.*

The full label is on the bottle and the product page. No proprietary blends, no filler doses. The ones worth naming are the ones we named.

The honest part

A shortage that built over months doesn't reverse in a week. Replenishment is slow, boring and compounding — anyone promising faster is selling you a story.

That's why most people start with the full ninety days. A thirty-day trial of a ninety-day process is a test built to fail.

Ninety days. Keep the bottles.

Take it daily. If it wasn't worth it, email us and we refund the whole order. You keep what's left. No returns, no forms. The risk is entirely ours.

So here's the reframe, and it's the truest thing on this page: this was never the part where your body turned on you. It's the part where you find out it was only ever missing something — and you hand it back.
