Ark Health vs Green Cap Health
The verdict
Green Cap Health takes it — 63.2/100 to 56.8/100.
Green Cap Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Green Cap Health is a Texas-only telehealth practice with a vertically integrated model: it is both the prescribing clinical practice and the in-house compounding pharmacy.

Graded #406 · C
Strengths
- Broadest menu in the directory — compounded sema/tirz injection, oral sema, brand Ozempic and Mounjaro, Sermorelin, MIC/B12
- Consistent pricing at all dosages — flat rate, no escalation as you titrate up
- Compounded oral semaglutide at $125/mo is competitive for a niche most providers don't offer
- Free expedited shipping included
- Phone support published (uncommon among DTC platforms)
Where it loses points
- States served not listed — can't confirm coverage in your state without contacting support
- LegitScript status not disclosed — no badge or verifiable ID
- FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not displayed
- Medical director / clinical lead not named — only generic 'certified healthcare providers'
- Pharmacy partner not named; 503A vs 503B unspecified
Graded #258 · C
Strengths
- Vertically integrated: the prescribing practice and the compounding pharmacy are the same company, so the supply chain is short and named
- Same-day provider review and 1-3 day discreet shipping
- The full commitment ladder is published, so the month-to-month rate and the six-month rate can be compared directly
Where it loses points
- The advertised $2.63-a-day and $79 first-month figures do not correspond to any purchasable plan; the cheapest real rates are $129/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, both on six-month commitments, and month-to-month is $179 and $279
- The terms disclose a separate Weight Management Program Membership Fee, charged periodically on top of the plan and revealed only during checkout — it appears on no product page
- The terms also state recurring fees are charged in advance without seeking any additional authorisation
- Service is Texas-only, so nothing here is available to a reader outside that state
- The site's terms link out to lifemd.com's terms — the legal text is another company's
