The body is a beautifully complex ecosystem — every process interconnected and finely balanced. When one element is disrupted, your body adapts to protect vital systems.
GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro and Ozempic have become increasingly popular for supporting metabolic health and weight management. However, many users have noticed a side effect they weren’t expecting — increased hair shedding.
The reassuring news? It’s usually temporary and reversible.
Why GLP-1 Treatments Can Trigger Hair Shedding
GLP-1 drugs don’t directly cause hair loss. Instead, their appetite-suppressing effects can reduce your intake of key nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
When these nutrients are lacking, your body prioritises vital organs over non-essential functions like hair growth. This can push follicles into the telogen (resting) phase, leading to temporary shedding known as telogen effluvium.
Once your nutrient levels are restored, the follicles typically re-enter the anagen (growth) phase within 6–12 months.
How to Support Hair Regrowth After GLP-1 Use
Regaining fuller, denser hair requires a holistic approach — nourishing from within and strengthening from the scalp outward.
1. Nourish with protein and essential nutrients
Aim to meet your daily protein target and include foods rich in iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. These support both scalp health and hair fibre strength.
2. Run a functional blood panel
A simple blood test can identify deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that contribute to shedding.
3. Use a scalp treatment rich in Procapil™ and peptides
A targeted scalp treatment helps maintain follicle function and density.

4. Massage your scalp nightly
Gentle, circular motions for two to three minutes can increase blood flow and nutrient delivery to follicles.
5. Be patient and consistent
Hair regrowth takes time. With steady nutrition and scalp support, visible results often appear within 6–12 months.

Final Thoughts
Shedding associated with GLP-1 use is temporary, not permanent. By supporting your nutrition, stimulating the scalp, and nourishing follicles consistently, you can encourage stronger, fuller regrowth in the months ahead.
