Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Trimi Health
The ultra-budget pick: two-digit semaglutide and a $125 tirzepatide — one of the lowest flat tirz stickers on the whole board — shipped to all 50 states.
Why it's a deal
- Ultra-budget on both molecules — $99 semaglutide and a class-low $125 tirzepatide, flat with no teaser step-up
- Tirzepatide at $125/mo undercuts most of the flat-fee field on the priciest molecule
- Nationwide 50-state reach, so the low price isn't gated to a handful of states
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence before you buy on price alone
- Compounded injectable only — no FDA-approved brand-name or oral/sublingual route
- Newer brand with a thin public track record
ElixaMD
ElixaMD is a doctor-guided online weight-loss telehealth offering compounded semaglutide injections from $179 the first month, with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
- Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
- Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
- HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)
The fine print
- $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
- Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
- Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
