Alternate Health Club vs NuBloom
The verdict
Alternate Health Club takes it — 69.8/100 to 69/100, but only just.
Alternate Health Club grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Alternate Health Club (alternatehealthclub.com) is a LegitScript-verified compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide at $129/month and compounded tirzepatide at $169/month. NuBloom is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #111 · C
Strengths
- $129/month compounded semaglutide is among the cheapest in the US market
- $169/month compounded tirzepatide is competitive with established platforms
- Complimentary workout and dietary plans bundled with medication — most peers don't
- LegitScript verified
- US-licensed clinicians
Where it loses points
- Parent company / legal entity not publicly disclosed
- State of incorporation not disclosed
- Per-state availability not listed — confirm your state ships before committing
- Pharmacy partners not publicly named
- Unclear whether lab work is included
Graded #134 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, openly published pricing: compounded semaglutide $149/mo and tirzepatide $279/mo as flexible month-to-month subscriptions
- Founded and medically led by a named physician (Dr. Marianne Pinkston Mueller, family/integrative medicine, 25+ years)
- Whole-person model pairs GLP-1s with hormone, gut-health and longevity care plus in-depth lab testing
- State coverage published openly: 49 states listed on the site (all except Mississippi)
- Optional 90-day 1:1 coaching program with weekly meetings and unlimited text support ($599/mo)
Where it loses points
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not named anywhere on the site — a transparency gap
- NuBloom's own LegitScript/PCAB status is not displayed; only its telehealth partner is certified
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; one FAQ loosely calls them 'FDA-approved,' contradicting the product pages
- All sales are final and medical consult fees are non-refundable; no returns on prescription products
- Disputes go to binding individual arbitration; the Terms' governing-law state is left as an unfilled '[STATE]' placeholder
