The Kroger Co. and its pharmacies participate in several savings programs, including those from pharmaceutical manufacturers, that may reduce eligible customers’ cost of filling certain GLP-1 medications.
Combined with Kroger’s selection of fresh foods, protein-rich options and personalized support from registered dietitians, the company offers a holistic approach to helping customers achieve wellness goals.
“In a time when customers are seeking convenient, reliable and affordable support, Kroger delivers,” said Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health. “We’re committed to expanding access to medication, pharmacy expertise and practical nutrition guidance that puts food at the center of well-being.”
Comprehensive GLP-1 support services
Kroger offers a connected, end-to-end experience supporting multiple ways to access and pay for prescribed medications. Prescriptions from any provider can be filled at Kroger, where customers may benefit from support navigating insurance coverage, manufacturer savings programs and other cash-pay options to help identify the best price based on individual needs.
Additional services include personalized counseling and education on GLP-1 medications, including how they work and what to expect, ongoing help managing potential side effects to support adherence over time, and continuous support throughout the weight-loss journey. The retailer provides referrals to dietitians and other healthcare providers when appropriate to reinforce a holistic approach for long-term success.
Kroger customers can receive convenient and personalized virtual nutrition care from a registered dietitian to build a plan for their lifestyle. In select states, customers can complete an in-store or virtual evaluation with a licensed provider who can prescribe GLP-1 medications when appropriate.
Food and nutrition resources
Kroger offers a wide variety of fresh foods alongside protein and fiber-rich options that help support nourishment and satisfaction. The company’s dietitians emphasize the importance of prioritizing nutrient-dense foods, especially fruits, vegetables, lean protein and high-fiber choices, to help people meet their nutrition needs when on a GLP-1 journey.
In addition to food choices, Kroger offers over-the-counter products and supplements such as protein powders, fiber supplements, and select vitamins and minerals that may help address common nutrition gaps or digestive concerns when used appropriately and in coordination with a healthcare professional.
To support informed nutrition choices while shopping, Kroger dietitians recommend using the OptUP program and checking the FoodHealth Score of favorite products. These tools help identify options that align with balanced eating goals, making it easier to build nutritious and enjoyable meals.
