Why your hair is falling out on Ozempic — and how to stop it

If you have noticed more hair in your brush, on your pillow, or in the shower drain since starting Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro — you are not alone. Hair thinning is one of the most commonly reported side effects of GLP-1 medications, affecting an estimated 3-5% of users.

What Is Actually Happening

The medical term is telogen effluvium — a condition where a large number of hair follicles simultaneously enter the resting (telogen) phase and then shed. It is triggered by the rapid weight loss and nutritional changes that come with GLP-1 therapy.

What Actually Works

NutriRx Hair, Skin & Nails

Our Hair, Skin & Nails formula combines the nutrients most directly linked to hair health: biotin, hydrolyzed collagen, and keratin peptides. It also includes vitamins and minerals essential for follicle health.

Collagen Peptides

Grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen provides the amino acids (particularly proline and glycine) that are building blocks for hair keratin. Collagen also supports the dermis layer where hair follicles are anchored.

Adequate Protein

Hair is made of keratin, a protein. Insufficient intake accelerates hair loss. NutriRx Whey Protein Isolate or Plant Protein makes it easy to hit your protein targets even with suppressed appetite.
