Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Mint Med
One price at every semaglutide dose, $106 a month, with the seller stating plainly that there are no membership fees - which is rarer than it should be at this end of the market.
Why it's a deal
- Semaglutide is $106 at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- States in its own banner that there are no membership fees
- Prices are confirmed in the store's own catalog, not just the marketing page
- HSA and FSA eligible, with a phone number published for support
The fine print
- Tirzepatide is sold as two separate products at $145 and $179, so which one applies depends on the dose you are prescribed
- FDA issued a warning letter to Glow Medispa, LLC dba Mint Med, dated June 2026. It is public in the FDA warning-letter database and linked from this review so you can read it yourself
- Sells NAD+, sermorelin and sexual-wellness lines beside the GLP-1s
- Compounded only, with no brand-name option
- No oral or sublingual route
HealthRX
A LegitScript-certified, physician-supervised program that's one of the few offering a genuine oral GLP-1 tablet alongside injectable — with transparent flat monthly pricing and no insurance required.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified (#50087439) — a genuine third-party trust signal
- Physician-supervised telehealth with licensed-provider intake
- Both molecules plus a rare oral GLP-1 tablet for the needle-averse
- Transparent flat monthly pricing with no insurance required
The fine print
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved
- Some pricing tiers are company-stated and the site is thin — confirm before you buy
- Brand-name tiers are an expensive pass-through (Ozempic ~$1,299/mo)
- States served are not publicly listed — confirm coverage before you sign up
