Protein is crucial for maintaining and rebuilding muscle tissue, particularly when experiencing rapid weight loss. Without enough protein, the body may break down muscle for energy, which can lead to muscle loss over time.
Gainful protein is easy on the stomach thanks to simple, easy to digest ingredients and nothing more. No artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners.
By pairing unflavored protein with individually packed flavor sticks, you can enjoy a different flavor protein every single day, preventing flavor fatigue and keeping your routine exciting. This flexibility encourages consistent use of the protein powder, making it easier to stick to your goals.
Micronutrient and electrolyte intake tends to be lower when in a calorie deficit and with reduced appetite, which are common among GLP-1 users. Many people get their electrolytes, such as magnesium, from food sources, so eating less food can lead to deficiency. Gainful Hydration can help supplement key nutrients that may be missing, such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
Nausea is the #1 reported side effect of GLP-1 medications and dehydration can be a sneaky cause of many stomach issues. Ensuring proper hydration throughout the day is essential to not just your overall heath, but reducing digestion discomfort.
One additional benefit of Gainful Hydration is that we use magnesium glycinate, which has a less of a laxative effect compared to other forms of magnesium. This may help reduce the risk of diarrhea while taking both GLP-1 and magnesium supplements together.
With less eating overall, GLP-1 users can miss out on nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Taking a greens powder easily and enjoyably supplies the body with essential phytonutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins.
Digestive discomfort is extremely common in those taking a GLP-1. Daily Perfomance Greens contain prebiotics and fiber to boost gut health, aid digestion, and reduce uncomfortable bloating.
GLP-1s can slow down digestion, which can cause constipation. In addition to soothing an upset stomach, taking a greens powder consistently also keeps you regular.
Gainful Gut Health Boost contains Solnul, which is is a great source of fiber to keep you regular and keep your gut healthy by helping increase the quantity of good bacteria in your gut for microbial balance.
With lower overall food intake, the digestive enzymes in Gut Health help breakdown your food, so you can get as many nutrients as possible from the food you are able to consume.
This boost can be added to anything, making it super easy to incorporate into your daily routine. We recommend adding a scoop to your protein shake once a day or right into your daily greens!
NUTRITION SUPPORT
Adequate protein intake is crucial for maintaining muscle mass, promoting growth, inducing feelings of fullness, and stabilizing blood sugar levels
"GLP-1 medications can be a game-changer for weight loss and blood sugar control, but they often come with unique challenges that require thoughtful nutrition support. Supplementing with protein powder can address several of these challenges, helping you meet your goals while feeling your best."
Reduced Appetite: GLP-1 medications can significantly lower your appetite, which may lead to eating less. While this is helpful for weight loss or blood sugar control, it can make it challenging to meet your daily protein needs through food alone. Protein powders are great for supplementation not only as protein shakes, but also as a “protein boost” when added to green yogurt, smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods and more.
Weight Loss and Muscle Mass: When you’re losing weight—especially with the help of GLP-1 medications—there’s a risk of losing muscle mass along with fat. Protein is essential for preserving muscle mass during weight loss, so supplementing with protein powder can help support muscle maintenance.
Balanced Nutrition: If your appetite is suppressed, you might not eat enough protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, or plant-based alternatives. A protein supplement ensures you're still getting adequate daily intake, even if your overall food intake is reduced.
Satiation and Recovery: Protein supports satiety, so consuming adequate amounts can help you feel full and avoid further appetite fluctuations. Additionally, if you’re exercising, protein promotes muscle repair and recovery.
To determine if you need a protein supplement, track your daily protein intake and consult your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian. They can help assess your needs based on your medical history, weight loss goals, and activity level. I always encourage my clients to aim for high protein intake—about 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of your ideal body weight each day. For example, if your goal is to weigh 150 lbs, shooting for 120-150 grams of protein daily is a fantastic target.
"Absolutely. Nutritional supplements are a great way to combat a number of the common side effects or challenges that GLP-1 patients may face."
Dehydration and/or electrolyte loss: GLP-1s slow down stomach emptying, which makes it harder to maintain consistent electrolyte levels. Users with suppressed appetites might drink & eat less, leading to a decrease in electrolytes. Supplementing with key electrolytes can help GLP-1 users stay hydrated and support muscle and nerve function. Gainful’s hydration packets contain 4 essential electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, with just 2 grams of functional sugar, only 15 calories and no artificial ingredients.
Digestive Support: GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, which can lead to side effects like constipation, bloating, or general digestive discomfort. They also often experience changes in eating habits that may reduce dietary fiber intake, potentially disrupting gut health. A supplement combining prebiotic starch and digestive enzymes, like Gainful’s Gut Health Performance Boost, can be highly beneficial for GLP-1 users, as it addresses several digestive and metabolic challenges they may face while using these medications:
Nutritional Gaps: GLP-1 users can benefit greatly from supplementing their whole food diet with additional phytonutrients, like those you get from a daily greens powder, which helps counteract constipation while supporting gut health. Greens powders also fill nutritional gaps with phytonutrients that make them ideal for users with reduced appetites. Gainful’s Daily Performance Greens feature phytonutrients from whole food ingredients including Spirulina, Wheatgrass and Kale and fiber to support your gut microbiome and enhance nutrient absorption.
"Results depend on the product and your unique body. Many people notice immediate benefits from hydration packets or greens powder, especially if they've been feeling dehydrated or bloated. Things like protein powder supplementation may take longer to notice, but incorporating more protein into your diet can have an immediately positive effect on many things like energy levels, satiety, sleep and more."
"Certainly! Clean, effective performance nutrition supplements benefit everyone, whether or not you're on GLP-1 medication. I personally use all these supplements—protein, electrolytes, creatine, greens, fiber, and more—and recommend them to all of my patients as part of a healthy, balanced routine."

I’ve tried multiple protein powders on the market and find them to be too chalky and too sweet for my taste. This is a game changer! Light, airy, smooth - PERFECT!
