Ascend Vitality vs Society of You
The verdict
Society of You takes it — 62.4/100 to 60.9/100, but only just.
Society of You grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Society of You is a US telehealth brand (Society Management Group) offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication filled through named partner pharmacies (Emerald and Striker). Ascend Vitality is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
