Every GLP-1 product on this site is scored 0–10 on six axes by editorial staff, with each clinical claim verified against FDA labeling and peer-reviewed trials. The axes are weighted differently per page template (a diabetes page weights A1C reduction higher than a cash-pay cost page).
Not every page weighs axes equally. On a “best for type 2 diabetes” page, effectiveness and safety dominate. On a “best in California” page, accessibility matters more. The literal weight constants below are pulled live from src/lib/ranking.ts. When that file changes, this table changes.
| Page template | Effectiveness | Safety | Value | Accessibility | User experience | Trust |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default (homepage, generic rankings) | 30% | 25% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 15% |
| Best GLP-1 for [condition] pages | 40% | 30% | 5% | 5% | 5% | 15% |
| Best GLP-1 in [location] pages | 25% | 20% | 10% | 25% | 10% | 10% |
| Head-to-head comparison pages (X vs Y) | 35% | 25% | 10% | 5% | 10% | 15% |
| Alternatives to [product] pages | 30% | 25% | 15% | 10% | 10% | 10% |
| Best [category] pages | 35% | 25% | 10% | 10% | 5% | 15% |
Emerald percentage = highest weight per template. Every template’s weights sum to ~100%.
Each product has an optional manualOrder field. When set, it overrides the computed score and forces a fixed position. We use this sparingly. For example, we may bump an FDA-approved product above a compounded one even when the math is close, because we believe regulatory safety should weigh higher than the algorithm sometimes admits. Every manual override is logged in our editorial changelog.
Every clinical claim is checked against FDA prescribing information and peer-reviewed trial data, with the primary source cited inline so you can verify it yourself. If a clinical claim cannot be sourced, it does not ship. Independent licensed-clinician review is in progress.
The six-axis rubric is the only input to scoring. We have affiliate relationships with some brands we cover and not with others. When a product without an affiliate relationship outscores one with, the unmonetized product still ranks higher. See our affiliate disclosure for full details.
