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
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
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes a Value Score.
