Aurelius Health Group

Graded #275 · C

Strengths

  • Pricing fully published and bundled: $89 first month, then $199/mo all-in — more transparent than most compounded brands
  • LegitScript Certified
  • Care-inclusive model: consults, monthly monitoring, and secure messaging rather than Rx-only
  • Unusually candid about the limited evidence base for microdosing

Where it loses points

  • Microdose-only model — sub-therapeutic doses have thinner trial evidence and likely smaller weight loss than full-dose tirzepatide
  • No semaglutide or standard full-dose option
  • No named compounding pharmacy partner
  • No state list and no named medical director or pharmacist-in-charge
Elara MD

Graded #467 · C

Strengths

  • Dose-banded monthly pricing published on-site ($249–$649/mo across tiers)
  • Both a semaglutide-range and a tirzepatide-range (GLP-1/GIP) option, plus microdosing
  • Medication included in the monthly price with free fast shipping when prescribed
  • Broad reach claimed (over 40 states)

Where it loses points

  • Molecules not named on-site (only 'Personalized GLP-1') — compounded status is inferred
  • No FDA compounded-medication disclaimer published
  • No named compounding pharmacy partner — prescriptions are patient-directed
  • LegitScript certification, medical director, and full state list not disclosed
  • Pricier than several compounded competitors
