I watch what I eat, do some physical activity daily (cardio/weights/yoga) and am in a rut.

Colon Broom and Happy Mammoth are not GLP-1 drugs. Those are basically probiotics. Hers is an online medical service that has doctors who prescribe GLP-1 drugs.

OP is just confused. They aren't seeing ads for OTC GLP1s. They are seeing ads for services that prescribe GLP1 meds, perhaps compounded, perhaps not.

There are a LOT of online ads for OTC pills claiming to be GLP1 drugs. She's not confused about what she sees, just about the legitimacy of the pills.

She specifically asked about supplements by name (check the OP) that use "GLP-1" phrasing in their ads. I've seen them, too. They are extremely misleading and likely illegal, but people fall for it. At least she had the brains to ask about it before taking random garbage supplements.

Don't take random diet supplements. If they worked, the store shelves would be empty.

There is no such thing as GLP-1 over the counter medications. Supplements like this are not reviewed or studied by the FDA and frequently have false claims attached to them. It doesn't help that the current administration is too inept to enforcing their policies on false claims made by supplement makers.
