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
Trimrose
Trimrose (Trimrose Inc.) is a cash-pay telehealth platform for compounded GLP-1 weight loss, offered as a weekly injection or a daily oral option.
Why it's a deal
- Free, no-cost, no-obligation online eligibility quiz before any commitment
- Offers a choice of a weekly compounded GLP-1 injection or a daily oral option
- Fully online — assessment, provider review, and home delivery with ongoing support
The fine print
- Runs on the CareValidate white-label platform and isn't the medical provider itself — a support@carevalidate.com address is exposed on the site
- Pricing isn't shown publicly; the cost and the specific compounded molecule appear only after you complete the eligibility quiz
- The states served, pharmacy partner and any LegitScript/503A certification aren't disclosed on the public site
- Markets 'up to 22.5% of body weight' — a trial figure for branded tirzepatide, not a guaranteed or compounded-specific outcome
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes a Value Score.
