Your medication is working.
Your hair shouldn't have to pay for it.
Hair thinning on GLP-1 isn't a mystery — it's a nutrient gap. Jealthy was built by a physician who sees it in her patients every week.

This isn't a side effect of the drug itself — it's a consequence of rapid weight loss combined with reduced nutrient absorption. It has a name: telogen effluvium. And it's almost entirely preventable.
"When caloric intake drops sharply, the body redirects resources away from non-essential functions — and hair follicle cycling is one of the first to be deprioritized."
Clinical observation · Dr. Jennifer Mbianda, MD · Family Medicine, Obesity Medicine & Aesthetics
GLP-1 suppresses appetite — sometimes too well
Your body is eating less, which means it's absorbing fewer micronutrients overall. Even patients eating "well" on GLP-1 are frequently deficient in key nutrients because total volume is lower.
GLP-1 slows gastric emptying — affecting iron and B vitamin absorption
The same mechanism that makes you feel full longer also slows the transit of nutrients through your GI tract, reducing how effectively iron, B12, and zinc are absorbed.
Rapid fat loss shocks the hair follicle cycle
Hair follicles are sensitive to metabolic stress. Losing weight quickly — even healthily — can push follicles into a resting phase called telogen. The shedding typically starts 2–4 months in.
Protein and collagen depletion weakens hair structure
Hair is made of keratin — a protein. When protein intake drops, the body cannibalizes structural proteins. Hair strands thin, break more easily, and the follicle weakens at the root.
The ingredients that directly address GLP-1 hair loss
Every ingredient in Jealthy was chosen for a clinical reason. Here are the ones that specifically target the nutrient gaps driving hair loss in GLP-1 patients.
Bovine Collagen
5,000mg per serving
Collagen provides the amino acid building blocks for keratin — the protein hair is made of. At 5,000mg, this is a clinical dose, not a token amount.
→ Supports hair strand strength and thickness
Biotin (B7)
5mg
Biotin is essential for keratin synthesis. While it gets overhyped in general wellness, it's legitimately critical when rapid weight loss is depleting B vitamins across the board.
→ Supports the keratin production pathway
Zinc Citrate
15mg
Zinc is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division in hair follicles. Deficiency directly disrupts the hair growth cycle and accelerates shedding. GLP-1 patients are frequently low.
→ Regulates the hair follicle growth cycle
Vitamin D3
0.1mg (100,000 IU/g)
Low Vitamin D is consistently associated with alopecia and disrupted follicle cycling. GLP-1 patients with reduced fat absorption are at particular risk since D3 is fat-soluble.
→ Supports follicle activation and cycling
Saw Palmetto Extract
160mg · 10:1 extract
Saw Palmetto is clinically studied for its role in blocking DHT — the hormone linked to androgenic hair thinning. The 10:1 extract means you're getting a concentrated, effective dose.
→ DHT-blocking support for hormone-related thinning
Ashwagandha Extract
200mg · 10:1 extract
Cortisol — the stress hormone — is a major driver of telogen effluvium. Ashwagandha is clinically validated to reduce cortisol levels, directly addressing a root trigger of GLP-1 hair shedding.
→ Reduces cortisol-driven hair shedding
BCAAs (L-Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine)
500mg · 250mg · 250mg
Branch-chain amino acids provide the raw protein building blocks needed for keratin synthesis. Critical when GLP-1-suppressed appetite means total protein intake is lower than the body needs.
→ Rebuilds the protein foundation of hair
Built by a physician who sees this in her patients every week.
I'm Dr. Jennifer Mbianda — triple board-certified in Family Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Aesthetics. I built Jealthy because I kept watching my GLP-1 patients succeed on their medication and then panic about their hair.
There was nothing on the market formulated specifically for this problem. So I built it.

- Every Jealthy ingredient chosen based on clinical evidence, not wellness trends
- Formulated specifically around what GLP-1 therapy depletes
