Gut Metabolic

A food-science magazine on the gut microbiome and metabolic health — every claim sourced.

Prescription GLP-1

Which of these will tell you the price before you sign up?

This is a gut-health publication and its ranked shelf is a probiotic board, not a drug board. But we do link out to prescription GLP-1 programmes, and it would be indefensible to send a reader to one we had never written up. So here they are — all 14 of them, scored on the question this publication actually cares about: 13 publish their price before the medical intake and 1 do not.

A supplement and a prescription drug are different decisions and we do not rank them against each other. If you are weighing the two, start with what the evidence actually shows about the gut–GLP-1 axis.

Price visible before intake

Price hidden until after intake

Not an accusation of anything, and not a claim that the eventual price is bad — only that you cannot compare it before giving the company your medical history, which is the one thing this index measures.

Assume any company listed here may compensate us — see our disclosure. It never changes a score, and the score here is computed from whether a price is published, not from what it is.
