How we rank & what counts as “legit”

Every provider in this ranking is scored against our published six-factor rubric[1] — value, effectiveness, user experience, trust & safety, accessibility, and support.

Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro are separately FDA-approved under their own NDA numbers[4][5]. Published Phase 3 efficacy for semaglutide 2.4 mg (~14.9% mean weight loss over 68 weeks) comes from the STEP 1 trial[6], and for tirzepatide (~20.9% at the 15 mg dose over 72 weeks) from SURMOUNT-1[7]; the SURMOUNT-5 head-to-head published in 2025 compared the two directly[8].

Insurance coverage for anti-obesity medications varies widely by state Medicaid program and commercial plan[9][10]. Compounded and brand-name GLP-1s are generally FSA/HSA eligible with a prescription under IRS Publication 502[11].
