Healthline Media announced the winners of the first-ever 2026 Healthline Awards on September 29. The awards recognize more than two dozen outstanding health and wellness products, a collaboration with Fullspan Health, a B2B healthcare platform under Healthline’s parent company, RVO Health.
Healthline is widely regarded as a reliable source of consumer-focused health information amid rising health misinformation and unsubstantiated product claims. Millions of readers rely on Healthline for medically accurate content to make informed decisions about their health.
The Healthline Awards products were evaluated with the same high-caliber expert medical review and editorial rigor synonymous with Healthline Media’s evidence-based health content.
To that end, 56% of surveyed Healthline readers say recommendations from health experts matter most when purchasing products. What’s more,82% of consumers say they value websites that combine trusted information with actionable tools.
“The line between health content and commerce continues to blur as consumers discover products through creators, social platforms, and AI,” said Christine Maguire, Chief Business Officer and EVP, Fullspan Health.
“Healthline has an opportunity to bring something distinct to that environment: trusted health expertise. That authority is reflected not only in the millions of consumers who turn to Healthline, but in its position as the highest-ranked health publisher cited by both ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. The Healthline Awards extend that credibility into product evaluation that consumers can trust.”
Each product and its manufacturer were assessed for key criteria, including:
- product composition
- potential for harm
- company integrity
- transparency around safety and quality
- whether health claims are supported by evidence
Testing criteria and minimum testing periods varied by category to assess quality, functionality, ease of use, value, transparency, and performance. For instance, additional testing criteria were given for certain products, including supplements and CBD.
“Consumers may know what’s popular or well marketed, but they deserve to know which health and wellness products truly stand up to medical rigor,” said Robin Hough, SVP of Content and Editor-in-Chief, Healthline.
“We look at ingredient safety, whether claims are supported by current clinical research, and how transparent the company is about the product,” Hough said. “If a product clears those standards, our editors then put it to the test using an objective, hands-on review process and scoring criteria.”
The Healthline Awards showcase credible health and wellness products vetted by a team of dedicated product testers and medical professionals.
Products earned one of two Healthline Award distinctions:
- Editor’s Pick — Products awarded for category-specific criteria that are the best indicators of quality, transparency, safety, and value.
- Best Overall — Healthline’s highest honor, awarded to a product that rates highest against category-specific review and testing criteria.
