Losing hair while losing weight on GLP-1?

Retaine is a 3-part daily system — nutrient capsules, collagen peptides, and a scalp serum — designed to support your hair's health and growth cycle while you're losing weight fast and eating less.

The part no one warned you about

Why hair sheds during rapid weight loss

It's not just you, and it's not random. When your body changes this fast, your hair often reacts. Here's what's actually happening — calmly, without the scare tactics.

1

You're eating less — so is your hair

Appetite suppression means smaller meals, and smaller meals often mean less vitamin D, zinc, iron, and protein — nutrients your hair depends on. Hair is one of the first places your body cuts back when intake drops.

2

Rapid change can trigger a resting phase

Fast weight loss is one of the known triggers of telogen effluvium — a temporary state where more follicles than usual shift into their resting-and-shedding phase. It typically shows up 2–5 months in, which is why it feels like it "came out of nowhere."

The good news: it's usually temporary

This type of shedding generally resolves as your body adjusts — and the follicles are still alive. Nutrition and scalp care matter most during this exact window, which is why consistent daily support is the whole idea behind Retaine.

Retaine is a dietary supplement that supports hair health and helps fill nutrient gaps when you're eating less. It is not a drug and is not intended to prevent or treat any side effect of any medication. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

One simple daily ritual

Three steps. Morning, coffee, night.

Each part of the system covers a different piece of the puzzle — nutrients, protein building blocks, and the scalp itself.

☀ Step 1 · With breakfast

Daily Hair Nutrient Capsules

The nutrients most commonly under-consumed when your appetite is switched off — at doses chosen for the hair growth cycle, not label decoration.

  • Vitamin D (2,000 IU), zinc (15 mg) & selenium (100 mcg) support the normal hair growth cycle
  • Iron (18 mg), B12 (500 mcg) & biotin (5,000 mcg) help fill common gaps when you're eating noticeably less
  • Ashwagandha root extract (300 mg) helps your body manage occasional stress — a known factor in shedding

☕ Step 2 · In your coffee

Collagen Peptide Powder

When meals shrink, protein is usually the first thing that slips — and hair is made of protein. This is the easiest 10 grams you'll get all day.

  • 10 g hydrolyzed collagen peptides deliver amino acids your body uses to build keratin — the protein hair is made of
  • Boosted with lysine, methionine & cysteine — three amino acids especially relevant to hair structure
  • Unflavored and fully dissolvable — disappears into hot coffee, tea, or a smoothie with zero grit
Retaine Shed-Phase Scalp Serum — frosted glass dropper bottle
☾ Step 3 · Before bed

Shed-Phase Scalp Serum

Nutrition works from the inside. This works right where the shedding happens — a lightweight, leave-in serum for the active shedding window.

  • Topical peptides support a healthy scalp environment — the soil your hair grows in
  • Caffeine energizes and invigorates the scalp at the follicle level
  • Weightless, non-greasy, no rinse-out — apply to your part lines in 30 seconds and sleep on it
Built for the GLP-1 journey

Why 90 days? Because hair works in cycles.

Hair responds slowly — a full growth cycle phase takes months, not weeks. That's why Retaine is designed as a 90-day plan, matched to the timeline your hair is actually on.

Months 1–2

Start protection early

Your appetite drops before your hair reacts. Starting nutrient support now means your reserves are topped up before the typical shedding window even begins.

Peak shed window
Months 2–5

Stay consistent

This is when most people notice the drain, the brush, the ponytail. It's also exactly when daily nutrition and scalp support matter most. Consistency here is the whole game.

Months 5+

Support the regrowth cycle

As shedding settles, new growth needs the same building blocks — protein, minerals, vitamins — to come in strong. Keep feeding the cycle you want.

"I finally felt like I had a plan"

★★★★★

The shower drain panic is real

Started my medication in March, and by month three I was genuinely scared to wash my hair. My doctor said the shedding was likely temporary, but "wait it out" felt awful. I've been on Retaine for about 10 weeks now. Shedding calmed down around week 7 or 8 — can't say for sure what did it, but I'm keeping the routine.

Wish I'd started sooner

Down 34 lbs and thrilled — but nobody warned me about the hair part. I found Retaine after googling at 2am. The collagen honestly disappears in coffee, which is the only reason I've stayed consistent. Three months in, my ponytail feels less thin. Not miraculous, just steady.

Sandra K., 55 Month 6 on a GLP-1 · Verified buyer
★★★★☆

Good system, wish serum bottle were bigger

I like that it's one box with everything instead of me piecing together five bottles from the drugstore. The capsules are easy on my stomach, which matters because it's already sensitive on the meds. Only gripe: I use the serum generously and run low by week 3. Four stars for that.

Deb R., 51 Month 3 on a GLP-1 · Verified buyer

Started before the shed, glad I did

My sister lost a lot of hair on her weight-loss meds, so I started Retaine the same week I started mine. Now at month 4 — some extra hairs in the brush but nothing like what she went through. Obviously everyone's different, but I feel like I got ahead of it instead of reacting to it.

My stylist noticed the new growth

The shedding started for me around month two and honestly it hit my confidence harder than I expected. Been on the full system since June. At my last appointment my stylist pointed out all the baby hairs along my part. I nearly cried in the chair. Still on my journey — 22 lbs to go — but I feel like myself again.

★★★★☆

Practical, not magic — and that's fine

I'm a nurse, so I side-eye anything that promises the moon. Retaine doesn't. It's sensible nutrition for people who are eating 1,200 calories a day, plus a scalp serum. That's exactly what I wanted. Two months in: hair feels stronger at the roots. The night serum step is easy to forget when I'm tired — that's on me.

Ingredients & transparency

Every dose on the label. Every "why" explained.

No proprietary blends, no pixie dusting. Here's what's inside and the reason each ingredient earned its place.

Vitamin D3 2,000 IU
One of the most commonly under-consumed nutrients on a reduced-calorie diet — it's mostly found in fatty fish, fortified dairy, and eggs, exactly the foods that shrink first when your appetite drops. Vitamin D receptors are present in hair follicles, and adequate vitamin D supports the normal hair growth cycle.
Zinc 15 mg
Zinc supports the hair growth cycle and normal protein synthesis — the process your body uses to build hair. It's concentrated in meat and shellfish, which many people eat far less of when portions shrink. We use a gentle, absorbable form dosed to support without overdoing it (excess zinc can work against you).
Selenium 100 mcg
A trace mineral that supports the hair growth cycle and normal antioxidant function in the body. Deliberately dosed at 100 mcg — enough to support, comfortably below the level where selenium becomes counterproductive. Precision matters more than bigger numbers.
Biotin 5,000 mcg
The best-known hair nutrient, and it earns the reputation: biotin supports keratin production, the protein your hair is built from. Heads up from our formulator: biotin can interfere with certain lab tests, so tell your doctor you're taking it before bloodwork.
Iron + Vitamin B12 18 mg / 500 mcg
Iron supports normal oxygen transport to tissues — including the scalp — and is one of the nutrients most strongly linked to hair health in women. B12 supports normal energy metabolism and red blood cell formation. Both are found mainly in meat, which is often the first thing people can't finish anymore.
Ashwagandha root extract 300 mg
Rapid body change is a stressor, and stress is one of the recognized contributors to temporary shedding. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen traditionally used to help the body manage occasional stress and support a sense of calm — a quiet but meaningful part of the formula.
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides 10 g + lysine, methionine, cysteine
Hair is roughly 90% keratin — a protein. When daily protein intake drops, hair is a low priority for your body. Hydrolyzed collagen provides readily absorbed amino acids, and we add extra lysine, methionine, and cysteine, three amino acids especially relevant to keratin structure. Unflavored, from grass-fed bovine.
Scalp serum: peptides + caffeine topical, nightly
While nutrition works from within, the serum cares for the scalp directly. Topical peptides support a healthy scalp environment, and caffeine invigorates at the follicle level. Lightweight, fragrance-free, and designed to be left in overnight without residue on your pillow.
No proprietary blends — every dose disclosed 3rd-party tested for purity Non-GMO

Questions, answered honestly

Frequently asked questions

When should I start Retaine?
The best time is early — ideally within your first two months of treatment, before the typical shedding window (months 2–5) begins, so your nutrient reserves are supported in advance. That said, if you're already noticing shedding, starting now still puts support in place for the rest of the window and the regrowth phase that follows.
When will I notice a difference?
Hair works on a slow clock. Most members say the first thing they notice — typically after 8–12 weeks of consistent use — is less hair in the brush and drain, then new baby hairs along the part line. That's why we built this as a 90-day plan and why we don't promise overnight anything. Anyone who does is selling you a story.
Is this kind of shedding permanent?
Usually not. Shedding associated with rapid weight loss is most often telogen effluvium — a temporary shift of follicles into their resting phase. The follicles remain alive, and this type of shedding typically resolves over time as your body adjusts. If your shedding is severe, patchy, or continues long-term, please see your doctor or a dermatologist — that's worth checking properly.
Can I take Retaine with my medication?
Retaine is a dietary supplement — vitamins, minerals, collagen, and a topical serum — not a drug, and it isn't designed to interact with your treatment. That said, everyone's health picture is different, so please talk to your doctor before adding any supplement to your routine, especially alongside a prescription medication such as semaglutide or tirzepatide. Bring the label to your next appointment — every dose is disclosed.
What happens if I stop my GLP-1 medication?
Your hair doesn't run on your prescription schedule — it runs on its own cycle. If you've recently stopped, your hair is still working through the effects of the rapid-change period, so many members continue Retaine for 2–3 months afterward to support the regrowth phase. And if you simply want to stop, that's easy too (see below).
How does the subscription work? Can I skip or cancel?
The 90-Day Plan bills monthly at $69 for three months — that commitment exists because the hair cycle genuinely takes that long, not to trap you. After your first 90 days, you're in full control: skip a month, pause, or cancel in two clicks from your account page. No phone calls, no retention scripts. And the 90-day money-back guarantee covers you the whole way.
What are the ingredients? Any allergens?
Everything is listed in the Ingredients section above with exact doses — no proprietary blends. Allergen notes: the collagen is bovine-derived (not vegan; not suitable if you avoid beef products). The capsules and serum are free from gluten, dairy, soy, shellfish, and nuts, and everything is non-GMO and 3rd-party tested. If you have a known allergy or take biotin-sensitive lab tests, check with your doctor first.
How fast is shipping?
Orders placed before 2pm ET ship within 24 hours from our U.S. warehouse, and shipping is free on every order. Most members receive their first box in 2–4 business days. Subscription refills ship automatically so you never have a gap — consistency is the whole point.
