The Value Score card
Arc-1 scored on our six published factors. See the methodology.
What's good
- Displays a LegitScript certification and states it works with US-licensed pharmacies and board-certified physicians
- Both molecules open at the same figure, $199.99, so the choice between them is clinical rather than financial at the entry dose
- HIPAA compliance is stated explicitly alongside the clinical claims
- Prices are on the storefront rather than behind an intake
Read the fine print
- Pricing is per dose, so the cost climbs every time you titrate up rather than holding flat
- No legal entity name or business address is disclosed
- The states it serves are not published, and no clinicians or pharmacy partners are named
- GLP-1s sit inside a longevity catalog rather than being the specialism
The bottom line
Best for: Someone on a low dose who will re-price the program before each step up.
For comparison, see CoreAge Rx, a featured partner (Value Score 81/100).
