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
Kina
Kina is a menopause-care telehealth platform where GLP-1 is the weight-loss treatment, offered alongside HRT, peptide, and compounded options for menopause symptoms.
Why it's a deal
- Menopause-specialized care — GLP-1 weight treatment alongside HRT, peptide, and compounded options for menopause symptoms
- Prescribed and monitored by named board-certified physicians at Arora Health & Aesthetics, with dose adjustments included
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 50917967)
- GLP-1 from $179/month with $0 membership fees, FSA/HSA eligibility, free shipping, and cancel-anytime
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, 100% online with a roughly 2-minute intake
The fine print
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Built for women navigating menopause — less tailored if that is not your situation
- A separate $50 physician consultation fee applies on top of the medication price
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named, and the full list of served states is not published
