Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Gimme Care
Genuinely cheap on both molecules ($130 / $163) with a LegitScript-certified pharmacy and all-50-state reach.
Why it's a deal
- Low flat price on both molecules ($130 sema / $163 tirz)
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Available in all 50 states
The fine print
- No brand-name option — compounded only
- No oral/sublingual form
Embody
Embody offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide via injection plus a unique compounded oral tirzepatide gum formulation.
Why it's a deal
- Among the lowest flat rates in the compounded segment — $79/mo semaglutide and $129/mo tirzepatide injection at every dose
- Unique compounded oral tirzepatide gum formulation — alternative for patients who prefer not to inject
- Available in all 50 states with no insurance friction
- 24/7 unlimited clinician messaging and dose-adjustment support included
- Medical leadership by Dr. Alan Viglione, board-certified in Internal Medicine
The fine print
- The $79 flat rate relies on an auto-applied promo 'locked forever' — list price in the terms is $199/mo and reviewers allege the lock isn't honored
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro option
- Pharmacy partners not publicly named — compounding source transparency is limited
- Compounded oral tirzepatide does not have an FDA-approved counterpart, and oral GLP-1 bioavailability remains an active area of clinical debate
