About this hub
This hub is clinically curated by Natallia Kalistratava, MD. Every guide listed here has been through her medical review for safety framing, interaction caveats, and where the evidence stops.
What belongs here: companion nutrition and metabolic support around prescription weight-loss care; protein tolerance on GLP-1s, electrolytes, the practical companion framework, berberine vs Ozempic claims, metformin B12, magnesium forms, and oral GLP-1 comparisons that change shopping or tolerability decisions.
What does not: prescribing which GLP-1 to start, dose titration, or “natural Ozempic” stacks sold as drug replacements. Those decisions stay with the clinician.
Hub vs pillar: the GLP-1 companion supplements guide is the decision framework (protein, fiber, electrolytes, creatine; what to prioritize first). This page is the library index for that cluster, plus adjacent metabolic guides that sit next to the same reader journey. Start with the framework if you want one path; use the cards below if you already know the bottleneck.
Evidence tools
Trial presets, label checks, dose floors, and physician-reviewed interaction pairs. Browser-only, nothing stored.
