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
Ryze Rx
Ryze Rx is a prescription telehealth platform for weight loss, TRT and peptide therapy, prescribing through board-certified physicians and shipping from US-licensed compounding pharmacies.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide both $199/mo, with $499/$799 three-month bundles
- Physician consultation, ongoing clinical support and discreet shipping included with each prescription
- Broad catalog beyond GLP-1: TRT plus peptides (BPC-157, sermorelin, NAD+, retatrutide and more)
- Free shipping, 24hr prescription turnaround, FSA/HSA eligible; care advertised in all 50 states
The fine print
- Terms, Privacy Policy and HIPAA notice are dead links - no legal entity, refund policy or governing law disclosed
- Pharmacy partners not named - only 'US-licensed compounding pharmacies'
- Homepage advertises GLP-1s 'from $149/mo' but the catalog lists $199/mo
- On-site '4.9/5, 2,400+ reviews' is self-reported, not an independently verified rating
