The Best Supplements to Support GLP-1 Weight Loss: A Science-Backed Guide from HormoneSynergy® / RetzlerRx®

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are powerful tools for fat loss and metabolic disease reversal. But the secret to sustainable success is not the medication alone—it’s the metabolic and microbiome foundation you build around it (and changing the lifestyle that contributed to the problem to begin with).
At HormoneSynergy® / RetzlerRx®, we specialize in a longevity-focused, science-driven approach that protects muscle mass, supports mitochondrial function, enhances gut resilience, and optimizes metabolic pathways during GLP-1 therapy.
Below is our clinician-curated guide to the most effective supplements for maximizing GLP-1 results—including Akkermansia, GLP-1 Probiotic PRO, GLP-1 Probiotic, Akkermansia 500, Metagenics® UltraFlora® Healthy Weight, Calocurb, Microbiome Labs Total Gut Resoration Kits, and targeted RetzlerRx® metabolic formulations.
Here is a list of GLP-1 weight loss supplements
1. Akkermansia: The Keystone Microbe for Glucose & Weight Regulation
Akkermansia muciniphila is a foundational gut bacteria associated with improved metabolism, gut barrier integrity, and inflammatory balance—three pillars of long-term GLP-1 success.
Pendulum Life Akkermansia
This retail-formula probiotic supports:
- Gut barrier function
- Appetite regulation
- Healthy inflammatory response
- Better metabolic flexibility during weight loss
Akkermansia 500 PRO (Pendulum PRO Line)
Akkermansia 500 is a higher-potency practitioner formulation ideal for:
- Advanced metabolic dysfunction
- GLP-1 patients with significant GI or metabolic issues
- Faster microbiome rebalancing and support
For many GLP-1 patients, Akkermansia is a cornerstone of their microbiome strategy.
2. GLP-1 Probiotic & GLP-1 Probiotic PRO (Pendulum Life)
GLP-1 Probiotic
The standard GLP-1 Probiotic formula is designed to help:
- Support GLP-1 production
- Improve glycemic control
- Modulate appetite and cravings
- Enhance digestive comfort when gastric emptying slows
GLP-1 Probiotic PRO (Pendulum PRO Line)
GLP-1 Probiotic PRO is the practitioner-strength version, offering higher concentrations of GLP-1–modulating strains and deeper metabolic support.
GLP-1 Probiotic PRO is especially helpful for patients who:
- Have insulin resistance or prediabetes
- Experience GI distress on GLP-1 medications
- Need a more aggressive microbiome-based metabolic strategy
Together, GLP-1 Probiotic and GLP-1 Probiotic PRO give us flexible tools to personalize support for different levels of metabolic need.
3. Metagenics® UltraFlora® Healthy Weight With Akkermansia
UltraFlora® Healthy Weight is a targeted metabolic probiotic that combines:
- Akkermansia muciniphila
- Bifidobacterium lactis B420™, one of the most studied strains for waist circumference and body fat reduction
- Lactobacillus gasseri strains that support fat metabolism
Benefits may include:
- Improved central fat loss and waist circumference
- Enhanced appetite and satiety signaling
- Reduced inflammation and better gut integrity
- Support for metabolic rate during calorie restriction
UltraFlora® Healthy Weight pairs extremely well with Akkermansia and GLP-1 Probiotic PRO as part of a comprehensive microbiome strategy for GLP-1 weight loss.
4. Calocurb: Natural Appetite Regulation & Craving Control
Calocurb uses Amarasate®, a clinically validated bitter hops extract that activates the gut-brain satiety pathway.
Calocurb is particularly useful for patients who struggle with:
- Evening snacking
- Cravings under stress
- Emotional or habitual eating patterns
By enhancing satiety and reducing cravings, Calocurb supports adherence to nutrition plans alongside GLP-1 medications.
5. RetzlerRx® Supplements That Integrate with GLP-1 Weight Loss
Our RetzlerRx® formulations are designed to complement GLP-1 therapy by addressing inflammation, detoxification, micronutrient adequacy, and muscle preservation.
Microbiome Labs Total Gut Restoration Kit
- Support Microbiome Balance: MegaSporeBiotic™ introduces precision probiotic strains that help maintain a diverse and resilient gut ecosystem.
- Promote Gut Barrier Integrity: MegaMucosa™ provides key nutrients to help protect and maintain the gut lining.

- Improves muscle relaxation, bowel regularity, and sleep quality
MegaSporeBiotic® & Microbiome Labs GI Support
- Enhances gut resilience and microbiome diversity
- Helps reduce GI side effects associated with GLP-1 medications
SPMs (Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators)
- Support the natural resolution of inflammation
- Enhance recovery and tissue repair during recomposition
Synergy Joint & Cartigenix
- Support cartilage, joint comfort, and mobility as body composition shifts
Vascanox® Nitric Oxide Support
- Supports vascular health and nitric oxide production
- Improves exercise capacity and oxygen delivery
High-Quality Protein & Collagen Support for the Whole Body
- Helps preserve lean muscle mass during rapid weight loss
- Supports joints, connective tissue, and skin integrity
Together, these supplements create a robust foundation for healthy, sustainable GLP-1–based weight loss.
6. Why Gut Health Matters Even More During GLP-1 Therapy
GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying and change how food moves through the GI tract. Without proper support, patients may experience:
- Nausea or bloating
- Constipation or altered bowel habits
- Dysbiosis and microbiome imbalance
- Reduced appetite leading to inadequate protein and micronutrient intake
This is why we emphasize Akkermansia, GLP-1 Probiotic, GLP-1 Probiotic PRO, UltraFlora® Healthy Weight, MegaSporeBiotic, magnesium, NAC, and glutathione as key tools for comfort, absorption, and long-term metabolic success.
