Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Care Clinics
Cheap on both molecules — $100 sema, $133 tirz — from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy across 32 states.
Why it's a deal
- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both molecules priced up front — no teaser step-up
The fine print
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route
NuBloom
NuBloom is a women's metabolic-health telehealth practice founded by family and integrative-medicine physician Dr.
Why it's a deal
- Transparent, openly published pricing: compounded semaglutide $149/mo and tirzepatide $279/mo as flexible month-to-month subscriptions
- Founded and medically led by a named physician (Dr. Marianne Pinkston Mueller, family/integrative medicine, 25+ years)
- Whole-person model pairs GLP-1s with hormone, gut-health and longevity care plus in-depth lab testing
- State coverage published openly: 49 states listed on the site (all except Mississippi)
- Optional 90-day 1:1 coaching program with weekly meetings and unlimited text support ($599/mo)
The fine print
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not named anywhere on the site — a transparency gap
- NuBloom's own LegitScript/PCAB status is not displayed; only its telehealth partner is certified
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; one FAQ loosely calls them 'FDA-approved,' contradicting the product pages
- All sales are final and medical consult fees are non-refundable; no returns on prescription products
- Disputes go to binding individual arbitration; the Terms' governing-law state is left as an unfilled '[STATE]' placeholder
