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
Vitalex Health
Vitalex Health is an Atlanta-based telehealth practice offering compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program through partner U.S.
Why it's a deal
- Flat-rate pricing starting at $199/mo with no consultation fee or dose-change surcharges
- Three distinct programs — Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and a lower-dose GLP-1 Microdose protocol for body composition
- Names its legal entity (Vitalex Health, LLC), a real street address, phone number, and posted clinical hours
- Named lead clinician (Laqueta Nelson, MSN, FNP-BC) instead of an anonymous care team
- Working Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and HIPAA Notice pages, not dead links
The fine print
- Brands itself “physician-led” sitewide, but the only named clinician is a nurse practitioner (FNP-BC), not a physician
- No LegitScript seal or other third-party pharmacy-verification badge found anywhere on the site
- Compounding pharmacy and prescribing medical group are referenced only generically — neither is named
- Exact price is not published — the $199/mo figure is only a starting point confirmed after provider review
- Domain was registered in April 2026 — a brand-new practice with no independent reviews found
