GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked
questions

How do you decide which protein powder ranks first?
Every candidate is scored the same way from public NIH label data: dose adequacy against a clinical reference, form quality, third-party verification, label transparency, and price per effective dose — plus a GLP-1-specific tolerability check. The top pick is whatever scores highest; no brand can pay to move, and we earn nothing on any pick. How scoring works: /glp-1-supplements/methodology/.
Which protein formats tend to sit easier for people on GLP-1 medications?
Our GLP-1 check rewards clear and hydrolyzed whey formats, which are generally lighter on the stomach, and marks down sugar alcohols (erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol), which can add to GI discomfort when gastric emptying is already slowed. That is a scoring signal about products, not personal medical advice — whether to add a protein supplement at all is a conversation for you and your prescriber.
Do you earn money when someone buys a protein powder you rank?
No. There are no sponsorships, no paid placements, and no commissions on this ranking — we earn nothing on any product named here. Each product card also states whether we have any relationship with the product at all.
Where can I see every protein powder you scored, not just the winners?
The full scored table is linked from this page, and every score on it is reproducible from the same public label data and published method — you can check our work product by product. How scoring works: /glp-1-supplements/methodology/.
