The Trump administration has announced a sweeping deal with pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to drastically reduce the cost of GLP-1–based weight-loss medications in the United States.
Under the new program — known as TrumpRx — the monthly price for injectables such as Wegovy and Zepbound will drop from roughly $1,000–1,350 to about $350, while upcoming oral versions could be available for as low as $149 per month. For Medicare beneficiaries, coverage will expand and the out-of-pocket cost will be capped near $245, with some patients paying as little as $50.
This policy marks a historic milestone in the accessibility of anti-obesity medication and could open the door for millions of Americans who previously could not afford these treatments. It will also reshape the broader metabolic-health industry, influencing both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.

Medication Is a Treatment — Not Maintenance
At Aset Nutrition, we welcome every advancement that helps people live healthier lives. But we also believe it’s crucial to maintain perspective:
weight-loss drugs are a tool, not a solution.
GLP-1 therapies can help control appetite and blood-sugar response, yet they cannot replace the fundamentals of balanced nutrition, sufficient minerals, regular movement, and metabolic balance unique to each individual.
Without sustainable habits — such as mindful eating, adequate hydration, quality sleep, and micronutrient sufficiency — weight loss achieved through medication alone can easily rebound or lead to new imbalances.
True wellness means finding your own body equilibrium, not outsourcing it entirely to a prescription.

The Bigger Picture: Integration, Not Substitution
This price reform may expand the conversation around obesity management. It reminds us that the future of metabolic health lies not in choosing between “drugs vs supplements,” but in integration — a partnership between modern medicine and nutritional science.
As a supplier of high-quality functional ingredients such as OEA (Oleoylethanolamide), Alliin, OAA, and Pentadecanoic Acid, we see our mission as supporting the body’s natural equilibrium, complementing medical interventions with science-based nutrition.
In the end, balance is the best medicine.
