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
Tru2u
Tru2u is a US direct-to-consumer telehealth and wellness store offering provider-guided compounded GLP-1 weight-loss therapy alongside hair, skincare, and supplement lines.
Why it's a deal
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus a combined GLP Squared injection
- Both injectable and oral GLP-1 tablet options available
- Transparent upfront monthly pricing with free shipping
The fine print
- No compounding pharmacy publicly named and no LegitScript seal shown
- Tirzepatide at 345 dollars per month is higher than many compounded competitors
- States served are not published; site states US-only availability
