The honest version
of the GLP-1 internet

Every number here carries a trial name, a dose and a week. Where the evidence is thin we say so in the first sentence, not in a footnote. Where it does not exist we say that too.

9 brands, 5 molecules

Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound and the other five

Brand is not molecule. Semaglutide is sold as three brands and tirzepatide as two, and they differ by what they are licensed for, not by what is in them. Every approved name in one place, plus a table that puts all nine side by side.
