Do you know the Side Effects of Mounjaro?

Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy are transforming lives - but the rapid weight loss and appetite changes can take a toll on your skin, hair, hormones, and joints.

Benjamin Button Collagen is your essential companion: protecting you from Nausea, Sagging Skin, Muscle Loss and Thinning Hair, giving you confidence while you transform your health.

The Side Effects Nobody Talks About

70% of people using Mounjaro experience side effects, you're probably one of them!

Are you facing:
Gut issues like nausea, constipation, or diarrhoea
Loss of appetite → protein deficiencies
Rapid weight loss → sagging skin & muscle loss (Ozempic face)
Joint pain & wear
Hair thinning and dryness
Dull, tired skin, reduced elasticity

Up to 10% stop treatment because of these challenges. But there’s a smarter way to protect your health during the journey.

Why Collagen matters with Mounjaro

Sagging Skin and Ozempic Face

To Combat Sagging Skin and "Ozempic Face":

  • The Problem: Mounjaro causes rapid fat loss, including the fat pads that naturally support your skin and facial volume. The skin's structural proteins (collagen and elastin) may not shrink fast enough, leading to loose, sagging skin and a hollowed-out look ("Ozempic Face").
  • The Solution: Collagen peptides are bioavailable building blocks that clinical trials show can help boost skin elasticity and hydration, providing the skin with the raw materials it needs to firm up and adapt to the new body size

Protein Deficiencies and Muscle Loss

To Preserve Lean Muscle Mass:

  • The Problem: When you lose weight quickly on a calorie deficit, 20% to 40% of that loss can come from lean body mass (muscle). Maintaining muscle is crucial for metabolism and long-term health, but Mounjaro's appetite suppression makes it hard to eat enough protein.
  • The Solution: Collagen peptides are a convenient, easily digestible protein source that can help users hit their high protein targets without the heavy, often nauseating feeling of solid meals. This supports the preservation of muscle mass alongside strength training.

Joint Pain and Wear

To Support Joint Health and Reduce Wear:

  • The Problem: Weight loss (especially when rapid) and an increase in physical activity can put temporary strain on joints. Additionally, the 20% to 40% loss of lean mass (muscle) often associated with Mounjaro use can destabilize joints, leading to new or exacerbated pain and wear.
  • The Solution: Collagen is a major component of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Studies show that supplementing with specialised collagen peptides help reduce joint discomfort and may contribute to cartilage regeneration, supporting joint cushioning and strength as your body adjusts to carrying less weight and increases activity.

Thinning Hair

To Support Hair Health:

  • The Problem: Rapid weight loss is a physical stressor that can trigger a hair shedding condition (telogen effluvium). This is often worsened by low nutrient/protein intake.
  • The Solution: Collagen is rich in the amino acids (proline, glycine) that are essential building blocks for keratin (the protein that makes up hair). Supplementation provides the necessary materials to strengthen hair follicles and mitigate thinning caused by the nutritional stress of dieting.

Nausea, Constipation and Diarrhoea

To Ease Gut Issues (Nausea, Constipation, Diarrhoea):

  • The Problem: Mounjaro's primary mechanism of slowing gastric emptying frequently causes the most common side effects: nausea, vomiting, constipation, and/or diarrhoea. These issues can be worsened if overall protein intake is low or if other protein sources feel too heavy.
  • The Solution: Collagen peptides are a gentle, highly digestible protein source that is easy to consume even with a reduced appetite. They are well-tolerated and won't exacerbate the heavy, full feeling from slowed digestion. Additionally, the amino acid glycine found in collagen supports the integrity of the gut lining, which may help soothe general digestive discomfort.

Dull and Tired Skin

Rapid weight loss can accelerate the depletion of connective tissues and reveal underlying To Revitalise Dull, Tired Skin:

The Problem: While rapid fat loss reduces overall body weight, the corresponding drop in calorie and nutrient intake can lead to general nutrient deficiencies. This nutritional stress, combined with poor circulation, often leaves the skin looking dull, dry, tired, and fragile.

The Solution: Collagen peptides improve the structural integrity of the skin (elasticity and firmness), but they also enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture and improve hydration (up to 24% in studies). This dual effect combats dryness and restores a smoother, healthier, and more vibrant "glow" that reflects overall better skin health.vulnerabilities. Collagen provides the essential building blocks for cartilage and tendons, offering the body an available resource to reinforce these joints as they adjust to these changes.

The Proof

UK regulatory data confirms Mounjaro can often cause tissue deflation and skin sagging.

And in clinical trials, daily collagen peptides:

Boosted elasticity by over 20%
Increased hydration
Reduced wrinkle depth

FAQs
Yes. Hydrolysed collagen is low glycaemic, provides protein without spiking blood sugar, and is safe alongside GLP-1s.
While nothing can completely prevent sagging, collagen is proven to make a visible difference. Clinical studies show it improves elasticity, firmness, and hydration — helping skin bounce back, stay smoother, and look more radiant as you lose weight.
Most users notice changes in skin hydration and firmness within 8–12 weeks.
Yes. Daily use is safe and recommended. Most people see the best results with consistent use over 8–12 weeks.

Results refer to findings from a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial using hydrolysed collagen peptides with vitamin C over 12 weeks. Participants experienced improved skin hydration (+13.8%), elasticity (+22.7%), and reduced wrinkle depth (−19.6%) compared to placebo (PubMed ID: 39021368). Individual results may vary.))
