On a GLP-1? The Support Plan for Your Metabolism, Skin and Hair
Medical weight loss changes more than the scale. Here’s how Quicksilver Scientific, ALASTIN and Nutrafol fit into a physician-guided plan.
GLP-1 medications have changed weight loss. They also bring changes many people don’t expect: skin that loosens as volume goes, hair that sheds a few months in, and a new relationship with appetite and energy. A physician-guided plan looks at all of it.
Metabolic support: Quicksilver Scientific
GLP-1 Amplifier is a plant-based supplement from Quicksilver Scientific designed to support your body’s own GLP-1 activity, healthy blood sugar balance and appetite regulation.* It combines berberine, cinnamon bark oil, DIM, milk thistle, quercetin and resveratrol in Quicksilver’s nanoemulsion delivery system, which the brand designed for fast absorption.
Important: GLP-1 Amplifier is a dietary supplement. It is not a prescription GLP-1 medication and is not a substitute for one. If you take medication for blood sugar, or any prescription, talk with your provider before adding it.
Skin support: ALASTIN
When weight comes off quickly, skin “may struggle to keep pace,” as ALASTIN puts it. Its GLP-1 skincare approach pairs TransFORM Body Treatment for the arms, abdomen and thighs with Restorative Skin Complex for the face and Restorative Neck Complex for the neck and décolleté. ALASTIN also points to in-office options such as radiofrequency, RF microneedling and laser treatments for added firming. Ask our team which are right for you.

Shedding often shows up 2 to 5 months after weight loss begins. Nutrafol says its safety reviews support using its hair growth nutraceuticals alongside GLP-1 medications.* Read more in our guide to hair thinning after 45 and on a GLP-1.
The basics still matter
Protein at every meal, hydration, strength training and steady weight loss help protect your skin and hair. ALASTIN and Nutrafol both point to nutrition and a gradual pace as part of the picture.
