Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Alan Meds
Double-digit semaglutide ($99) and a $145 tirzepatide, both nationwide, with an oral route for the needle-shy.
Why it's a deal
- $99 flat semaglutide and a low $145 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states
- Offers an oral/sublingual route
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence
- Newer operator with a thin public track record
AquaVita NextGen
AquaVita NextGen (AquaVita Wellness & Medspa) offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (ODT tablets).
Why it's a deal
- Physical address in Lake Forest CA
- Named medical director (Dr. Steve Groke)
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide including ODT tablets
- Compounding disclaimer present on site
The fine print
- Only 5 states (AZ, CA, FL, TX, NV)
- No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation
- Primarily a local medspa expanding into telehealth
- Only a first-month semaglutide price ($375, originally $499) is published; ongoing monthly price and all tirzepatide pricing remain unpublished
