Ascend Vitality vs Bionomy Health
The verdict
Bionomy Health takes it — 66.6/100 to 60.9/100.
Bionomy Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Bionomy Health is a physician-led, direct-to-consumer men's telehealth service selling compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication alongside testosterone, peptides and longevity protocols.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #307 · C
Strengths
- Both injectable and needle-free oral tablet forms of semaglutide and tirzepatide
- LegitScript certified
- Transparent cash-pay pricing with cancel-anytime subscription
- Legal entity and address publicly disclosed (Ascend Vitality LLC, Sheridan, WY)
Where it loses points
- All medications are compounded — FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety/effectiveness
- No named compounding pharmacy partner disclosed
- No public state-by-state availability list (homepage cites exclusions: LA, MS, KS, NM, WV)
- Per-dose/titration pricing not published; only 'starting at' prices shown
Graded #182 · C
Strengths
- Cancellation is genuinely unconditional: no subscription, no card on file, no auto-renewal, no cancellation fee — you pay per refill
- Prices are published before intake on a dedicated GLP-1 page, and the same figures appear in the site's own llms.txt
- Available in 48 states
Where it loses points
- The $189 is a starting rate, not a flat one: the page says 'From', the product card says 'Starter', and doses are titrated every four weeks with no published price for the dose you end up on
- The homepage says muscle preservation is 'included' while the GLP-1 page sells a Muscle Preserve Pack at $109/mo as a separate line item
- No FDA-approved pathway and no oral route — the site does not mention Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro at all
- Not available in Alaska or Hawaii
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
