Graded #417 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Per-dose purchasing — no subscription or membership required
- 25% off plus free shipping promotion
- Broader longevity formulary (rapamycin, NAD+, sermorelin)
- LegitScript Certified badge now displayed on product pages

- Per-dose pricing still climbs with dose (semaglutide 2.5mg is $549.99/mo, tirzepatide 7.5mg $399.99/mo)
Graded #338 · C
Strengths
- Flat-rate pricing starting at $199/mo with no consultation fee or dose-change surcharges
- Three distinct programs — Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and a lower-dose GLP-1 Microdose protocol for body composition
- Names its legal entity (Vitalex Health, LLC), a real street address, phone number, and posted clinical hours
- Named lead clinician (Laqueta Nelson, MSN, FNP-BC) instead of an anonymous care team
- Working Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and HIPAA Notice pages, not dead links
Where it loses points
- Brands itself “physician-led” sitewide, but the only named clinician is a nurse practitioner (FNP-BC), not a physician
- No LegitScript seal or other third-party pharmacy-verification badge found anywhere on the site
- Compounding pharmacy and prescribing medical group are referenced only generically — neither is named
- Exact price is not published — the $199/mo figure is only a starting point confirmed after provider review
- Domain was registered in April 2026 — a brand-new practice with no independent reviews found
