Daily Supplement Schedule for Weight Loss or Healthy Weight Management

By Ethan Boldt

June 5, 2025

Weight loss or healthy weight management is a goal for many of us, and it can send us in many different directions to help achieve it. For example, we adopt new diets, join new exercise classes and try new supplements.

But it’s overwhelming how many options there are in those three categories alone. So many ways to eat, so many ways to exercise and, yes, so many supplements. (We cover some nutrition and exercise options in our article about a “fat loss day.”)

For the purpose of this article, we will focus on your supplement choices and offer up the best ones for weight loss or healthy weight management. Additionally, below is an optimal daily supplement schedule for conveniently putting those into your routine.

Just a reminder first: You should always consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen aimed at healthy weight management.

Also recognize that sustainable weight loss typically means losing about 1 to 2 pounds a week. Unrealistic expectations can also set you up for failure, such as abandoning your supplement routine before you’ve given it a chance to work. (We typically recommend using a new product for at least 90 days to give your body time to adjust and respond.)

Below are the best supplements as well as times in the day to boost your weight loss efforts. Do it all or pick a few that make sense for you.

1. Start your day with protein

Many of us don’t make the connection between protein and weight loss, but it’s real. Protein foods and supplements aren’t just about lean muscle building and muscle recovery.

The benefits of protein also include healthy weight management, reduced food cravings, increased thermogenesis (fat burning) and improved stamina. Plus, protein can help you preserve hard-won lean mass and a healthy metabolism during weight loss.

In addition, many of us simply get enough protein in our day. So start your day with a high-protein breakfast, such as a protein shake with either Multi Collagen Advanced Lean or Whey Protein + Fat Loss.

Both supplement options are designed to help you burn calories and boost your metabolism. Multi Collagen Advanced Lean Powder (cinnamon flavor) is a collagen powder from 10 food-based sources. It's a healthy weight management* supplement designed to help you burn calories and boost your metabolism.

Whey Protein + Fat Loss* powder (vanilla cinnamon flavored) is a whey protein powder formulated with 23 grams of grass-fed whey protein and organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein. Claims include less body fat*, more strength* and increasing your metabolism*.

Both feature a proprietary and clinically studied superfood Fat Loss Blend that includes organic ashwagandha root extract and organic ceylon cinnamon. This unique combination simultaneously promotes fat loss*, burns calories* and increases your metabolism*, making it an ideal choice for those aiming to achieve and maintain a lean body composition*.

*In addition to an overall healthy diet and lifestyle, including regular exercise

Protein shake recipe:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 frozen banana

• 1 tablespoon almond butter

• 1 scoop Multi Collagen Advanced Lean powder or Whey Protein + Fat Loss powder

Add to a power blender and blend well.

2. Take “Lean” capsules with the rest of your supplements

Along with your high-protein breakfast, take your supplements. Usually that’s a multivitamin and a probiotic at the very least. Consider adding Multi Collagen Advanced Lean capsules as well.

Featuring collagen from 10 food-based sources, Multi Collagen Advanced Lean Capsules is a supplement with a weight loss* ingredient that helps you burn calories* and boost your metabolism.

Benefits include 6 times more weight loss**, 3x more waist and hip reduction and 4X better body mass index (BMI) improvement.

**Lean capsules key ingredient. Compared to diet and exercise alone in a 16-week human clinical trial with healthy overweight individuals who followed a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

3. Get in some fiber, too

Another key nutrient besides protein that greatly improves satiety levels and can help you reach your healthy weight loss goals? Fiber.

The average person only gets 15–20 grams of fiber each day when you should be getting 25–40 grams daily from a variety of high-fiber foods.

Finding it challenging to hit that fiber number? Ancient Nutrition's Organic Fiber (available in pineapple mango and raspberry lemonade flavors) is a gentle-acting, easy-to-mix fiber powder that features acacia fiber and konjac root. It also contains a SBO probiotic strain called Bacillus coagulans for additional gut support and improved nutrient absorption.

Simply mix with water, Organic Fiber reduces occasional constipation, gas and bloating, in addition to promoting proper digestion, a feeling of fullness (satiety) and intestinal well-being.

4. Get more out of your workout

Whether you work out first thing in the day, midday or in the evening, often you wouldn’t mind a little extra energy. After all, “preworkouts” are popular for this very reason, but they usually contain artificial ingredients, excessive caffeine, preservatives and more.

Instead, whip up a glass of cold water with Ancient Nutrition’s Clean Energy. It contains 74 milligrams of caffeine per serving — less than a typical cup of coffee — and comes in two delicious flavors: cherry limeade and strawberry kiwi.

It’s powered by an Ancient Superfood Energy Blend of coconut water, organic beet root, Ancient Mineral Complex, organic coffeeberry and apple extract. These ingredients are backed by clinical studies.

Clean Energy is designed to promote alertness, focus and cognitive health, plus physical performance and endurance. It even promotes lean muscle and strength for a healthy body composition.

5. Recover from your workout

Post-workout is also a good time for protein, for it promotes the natural replenishing (with amino acids) of muscle fibers that are typically and normally broken down during exercise.

The best protein powder for workout recovery? Study after study shows its whey protein, in part because it’s absorbed more rapidly than other types of protein.

Make yourself a high-protein smoothie using one of Ancient Nutrition's whey protein powders along with high-protein Greek yogurt. You’ll get around 37 grams of protein.

High-protein smoothie recipe:

• ½ frozen banana

• ½ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt

• 1 scoop Whey Protein (chocolate, vanilla or chocolate peanut butter)

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup ice

Add to a power blender and blend well.

6. Combat afternoon cravings

A couple of hours after your lunch, you may get hit with those afternoon cravings for sweets. If you’re trying to forgo such snacks, make up this green tea weight management drink that features Multi Collagen Advanced Lean powder.

While you can simply mix this amazing collagen powder with water, we’ve coupled it with a few other ingredients that can help with healthy weight management, metabolism boosting, calorie burning, detoxifying and more. Plus, it’s the type of drink that you’ll enjoy sipping on.

Recipe:

• 8 ounces hot filtered water

• 1 scoop Multi Collagen Advanced Lean Powder

• ½ lemon, juiced

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• ¼ teaspoon turmeric

• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne powder

• 1 inch knob ginger, grated (or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger)

• 1 teaspoon raw honey (or half a dropper of liquid stevia if you want to avoid sugar)

In a large heat-proof glass or mug, add in 8 ounces of hot water and 1 scoop of Multi Collagen Advanced Lean. Mix with a frother or in a blender until protein powder is fully blended.

Add in lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, cayenne, ginger and honey (or liquid stevia). Froth, blend or stir until combined.

Pour into glass. Top with an additional slice of lemon.

7. Have a satisfying, protein-rich dessert

Before the day ends, it’s a great idea to have a low-sugar, protein-rich dessert to satiate.

A chocolate chia seed pudding can be prepared the night before or that morning. It’s delicious, full of protein as well as healthy fats.

Chocolate chia seed recipe:

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ scoop Bone Broth Protein Chocolate (or Whey Protein Chocolate)

• ¼ cup plain, unsweetened almond milk

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• coconut whipped cream, optional

• raspberries, optional

• cacao nibs, optional

In a medium-sized bowl, add chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, sea salt, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes and then stir again.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir the mixture again before serving. Top with coconut whipped cream, raspberries and cacao nibs.
