What is everyone using to prevent and or repair hair loss while taking tirzepatide?

I love pumpkin seed oil with saw palmetto, that really helped me stop shedding in the beginning of my journey! Now with regrowth GHK-Cu has been an ultimate game changer!
- Belle member
I use biotin, but Belle offers minoxidil. A lot of people use that.
- Belle member
Here for the comments because I’m struggling too. At this time, using a 5% minoxidil spray and Mary Ruth hair vitamins, hoping it works. (Just started a week ago)

I have always had problems with shedding due to my thyroid. I just started GHK-CU. I am taking pumpkin seed oil from Micro Ingredients. I just started Routine shampoo& conditioner. I hope this combo will help to early to tell.

Weem gummies and routine shampoo & conditioner. Plus remember sweet potatoes, nuts, eggs, leafy greens and fatty fish are good for hair.

@member awesome

Belle now has Minoxidil so that is an option. In addition, I take prenatals and it has helped so much with hair regrowth! You should also ensure that you have gotten to the root of the problem. Blood work with your PCP can also be very useful to see if you are lacking in anything.

Hair shedding on a GLP-1 is really common and usually temporary. It's typically triggered by rapid weight loss and eating less, and often shows up a few months in. Your best defense is hitting your protein goal every day and not under-eating. If the shedding is heavy, ask your doctor to check iron, vitamin D and thyroid. Minoxidil is also available through Belle if you'd like extra support.

@member hopefully it works for you
- Belle member
@member (Maggie) totally relate to the hair loss with thyroid issues. I use Routine shampoo and conditioner too and have for while love how soft it made mine feel if nothing else.
- Belle member
@member hopefully you can find something that works for you as I can tell you if Belle offered the minoxidil tablet when I began I would started it then and saved money on things that didn’t work. I currently use it not from Belle but soon will be 😊 and it worked wonders but does take time
- Belle member
@member my only concern with minoxidil pills is I've heard you can never stop taking them or you will start losing hair again or even get worse🤷 not sure how much truth there is in that though?
- Belle member
@member I don’t really know that answer either as I heard mixed things like go topic if stop for while then try to come off. I heard you get a beard and maybe some have but for me that or been the case and the way I look at it it’s just like taking my 2 thyroid medication Pills aren’t big so I risk lifetime of being on it the same as triz for results
- Belle member
@member try prenatal vitamins! They work!
- Belle member
@member Lange I used prenatal vitamins back when I had gotten covid and I was losing hair bad and it almost stopped immediately....I didn't think of that with this... thank you for refreshing my brain lol
- Belle member
@member I can’t take the credit because when this question comes up, this solution is always mentioned. 😄
- Belle member
@member also know minoxidil is very toxic and possibly fatal to cats and dogs
