Rapid weight loss leaves your hair without the raw material it's built from. This page explains what's happening — and the 90-day plan that gives your follicles what they need to grow back.

If you recognized even one of these — keep reading. There's a reason it's happening, and you're early enough to do something about it. ↓
When food runs short, your body sends nutrients to your organs first. Hair gets whatever is left over — and right now, that's not much.
See the research →Hair roots react to sudden change by letting go of their strand and resting. So the shed shows up months after you start — right as the weight comes off fastest.
See the data →A 2025 study of 3,700 women found hair loss about twice as likely on semaglutide. Researchers point to how fast the weight comes off — not the drug itself.
Read the study →Doctors call this kind of shedding telogen effluvium. In plain English: too many hairs took their rest break at the same time. The root under every hair you've lost is still alive, and within weeks it starts building a new strand. What that strand is made of depends on what you feed it.
The medication works by switching off your appetite — that's the point of it. But hair is built from food: protein, iron, zinc, vitamins. A typical day now looks like this:
Hair is 90% protein. A strand that grows during a shortage comes in thinner — and once it's grown, it stays that way. The strands your follicles start this month decide how full your hair looks by winter.
On the nutrient–hair link: Almohanna et al., 2019 review → · On collagen peptides & hair structure: placebo-controlled trials measured improvements at 8–12 weeks. Example RCT →A simple rule of thumb: if the shedding started suddenly, soon after the weight loss began, that's what Retaine is built for. If it crept in over years, see a specialist instead. Selling you the wrong fix helps no one.
You just read the three problems — not enough nutrients coming in, roots on pause, new strands growing in thin. The 90-Day Plan answers each one, every day, for one full growth cycle.
Iron, zinc, vitamin D, B12, biotin, selenium — the ones that disappear when your meals shrink. Every dose listed below.
10 g of collagen peptides — the same daily dose used in the clinical studies — stirred into your morning cup. You won't taste it.
Peptides and caffeine, applied at the scalp — right where new hair starts. 30 seconds before bed.
Hair is built from a short list of nutrients. Here's each one, what a typical day on a GLP-1 actually provides, and how Retaine fills the difference:
| In Retaine daily | Why your hair needs it | Your ~1,200 kcal alone | With Retaine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collagen protein10 g | Builds the strand itself | ~35–45 g of the 50–60 g needed | ✓ Gap closed |
| Vitamin D32,000 IU | Keeps follicles in growth mode | ~100–200 IU of 600–800 IU | ✓ Covered |
| Iron18 mg | Carries oxygen to the root | ~7–9 mg of up to 18 mg | ✓ Covered |
| Zinc15 mg | Runs the growth cycle | ~5–7 mg of 8–11 mg | ✓ Covered |
| Vitamin B12500 mcg | Energy for hair-building cells | Often short when meat is skipped | ✓ Covered |
| Biotin5,000 mcg | Feeds keratin production | Varies by diet | ✓ Covered |
| Selenium100 mcg | Supports the cycle, dosed at the safe level | Varies by diet | ✓ Covered |
| Ashwagandha300 mg | Eases the stress of rapid change — a known shed trigger | Not in any diet | ✓ Included |
"Typical" estimates: national dietary survey averages scaled to a ~1,200-kcal reduced-appetite intake — your diet may differ. Targets reflect general adult recommendations, not a diagnosis. Some capsule doses (like vitamin D and B12) are intentionally higher than the daily target because only a fraction of oral vitamins is absorbed — every dose stays well within established safe upper limits. Talk to your doctor about your individual needs.

A follicle needs 8–12 weeks to rest, restart, and push out a strand you can actually see. The clinical studies measured their results at 12 weeks for exactly that reason. That's why this is a 90-day plan — and why the guarantee covers all 90 days, not the first 30.
All three steps — capsules, collagen, serum — delivered monthly for the three months one growth cycle takes.
