Mint Med takes it — 84.7/100 to 58.4/100.
Mint Med grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Low both-molecule pricing ($117/$159) and verified — but only 36 states.

Graded #373 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified with an independently verifiable seal (#50306023) and HIPAA compliance — a strong trust signal for a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth
- Names its dispensing pharmacy: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy, LegitScript-certified and NABP-accredited, licensed in 49 states plus DC
- Flat pricing at every dose ("same price at every dose, no surprises") plus free expedited shipping, so your cost won't rise as you titrate up
- Competitive prepay rates — compounded semaglutide as low as $179/mo (12-mo) and tirzepatide $299/mo — with zero interest and no credit check
- Money-back guarantee for qualifying patients who complete the full 28-week program without losing weight; available in all 50 states + DC
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- Even the "monthly" plan requires a 3-month commitment with three months of medication shipped and billed upfront — limited month-to-month flexibility
- Standing month-to-month pricing is steep ($279 semaglutide, $399 tirzepatide); the lowest rates require 6- or 12-month prepay
- The provider chooses semaglutide vs tirzepatide for you, so you can't freely pick your own molecule
- Registered as Aspen Health Systems LLC at a Sheridan, WY address; async model with no routine video visit
Graded #22 · B
Strengths
- $117 sema / $159 tirz
- LegitScript-verified
- Both molecules
Where it loses points
- Only 36 states
- Injection-only
- Monitoring detail sparse
