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
Zealthy
Zealthy (legal entity FitRX, LLC, recently renamed to Gronk Inc.) offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide via an asynchronous telehealth model.
Why it's a deal
- Serves 34 states — meaningful nationwide footprint
- Asynchronous model removes friction for patients who don't want a video visit
- Independent licensed prescribers retain full clinical authority
The fine print
- Active Novo Nordisk false-advertising lawsuit alleging trademark infringement and marketing compounded drugs as FDA-approved alternatives
- Active DOJ/FTC enforcement alleging undisclosed subscription terms, locked cancellation, and unauthorized health-data sharing
- Founder previously ran Cerebral, which settled with the FTC in 2024 over similar deceptive practices
- Recently rebranded to Gronk Inc. amid active enforcement
- FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 1 September 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
