The ad goes on to tout Hims & Hers' weight loss drugs as less expensive alternatives to medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, which both contain the active ingredient semaglutide and are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity, respectively.

On Super Bowl Sunday, many tuning into the big game saw a controversial ad from the telehealth company Hims & Hers. The minute-long spot begins by skewering the American health care system, saying it's "designed to keep us sick and stuck" while profiting off of America's obesity epidemic.

Anne-Marie Zanzal, 60, and her wife Tonda McKay, 62, have also experienced the more positive changes that weight-loss drugs can have on romantic relationships. They say they had reached the "fat and happy stage of life" but realized being overweight was affecting their energy levels.

And for those people, when it comes to weight loss, proper diet, rest and exercise will always be important. But there are a few affordable over-the-counter supplements that they can add to their day that can help get the pounds off.

Compounded semaglutide is legal, but it's not regulated in the same way as medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.

The telehealth company Hims & Hers put out a Super Bowl ad that skimped on clarifying that its compounded semaglutide medications aren't FDA-approved.
