Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
HealthRX
A LegitScript-certified program selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections, $165 or $214 a month on a rolling subscription and less on 3- and 12-month plans.
What's good
- LegitScript-certified (#50087439), a third-party check you can look up
- HealthRX publishes every plan price in one table, including what each plan renews at, before you start an intake
- The plan price includes the medication, the provider review and free overnight shipping, and HealthRX serves all 50 states
- Cancel by email; HealthRX says it refunds any dose that has not shipped
The fine print
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved, and HealthRX sells no brand-name or oral option
- The HealthRX entry rates are plan prices: $97 and $177 need twelve months paid up front, so month to month costs $165 and $214 after a lower first month
- HealthRX's subscriptions renew automatically until you email to cancel, so set a reminder before each renewal
NewSelf
NewSelf sells compounded semaglutide with B12 or glycine at $134.99 a month and compounded tirzepatide with B6 and glycine at $224.99, both held flat across every dose, in 49 states.
Why it's a deal
- The rate holds at every dose on both molecules — semaglutide across 0.25 mg to 2.5 mg, tirzepatide across 2.5 mg to 15 mg — so titrating up costs nothing extra
- Both products are compounded with B12, B6 or glycine rather than sold as bare molecules, and the formulation is stated on the product card
- HSA and FSA eligible, with the health screening, shipping and ongoing support inside the price
- Names the 49 states it covers rather than implying nationwide reach
The fine print
- The prominent $99.97 and $144.49 figures are plan floors, not the standing rates — those are $134.99 and $224.99
- Not available in Mississippi or Louisiana
- A "Tirzepatide Plus" tier at $399 a month sits above the standard product, so the flat-rate promise applies within a tier rather than across the range
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name route
