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
HealthSource
HealthSource is a telehealth weight-management platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (injectable and oral sublingual) dispensed through a US-based FDA 503A licensed partner pharmacy.
Why it's a deal
- Three GLP-1 options: compounded semaglutide injection, tirzepatide injection, and oral sublingual tirzepatide
- 24/7 access to care team via HIPAA-compliant platform with unlimited physician messaging
- Every program covers the cost of medication, supplies, and telehealth visits — no separate pharmacy fee
- Subscription auto-refund if monthly reassessment is not completed
- Available in all 50 US states including Alaska and Hawaii with 3–5 day shipping
The fine print
- No physician names or clinical leadership disclosed on public pages
- No LegitScript certification found
- 503A partner pharmacy not named — less transparent than providers disclosing their 503B pharmacy
- Labs not mentioned on any product page — baseline bloodwork protocol unknown
- WooCommerce e-commerce storefront may feel more transactional than clinical
