Aurelius Health Group vs Vitalex Health
The verdict
Aurelius Health Group takes it — 60.8/100 to 59.7/100, but only just.
Aurelius Health Group grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Aurelius Health Group is a telehealth platform built around compounded tirzepatide microdosing — a low-dose dual GIP/GLP-1 protocol rather than standard full-dose therapy — with optional NAD+, L-carnitine,… Vitalex Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #311 · 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
- The advertised $89 is a first-month new-patient rate; every month after it is $199
- This is a 1 mg microdose programme and nothing else — no labelled therapeutic dose is sold, so it is not an alternative to a full-dose prescription
- No state count is published, only 'most US states', confirmed at intake
- The site's own comparison table calls 2.4 mg/week the tirzepatide 'standard full dose'; 2.4 mg is the semaglutide maintenance dose, and tirzepatide is labelled 2.5-15 mg/week
- Compounded tirzepatide is not an FDA-approved finished product
Graded #337 · C
Strengths
- Flat-rate pricing starting at $199/mo with no consultation fee or dose-change surcharges
- Three distinct programs — Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and a lower-dose GLP-1 Microdose protocol for body composition
- Names its legal entity (Vitalex Health, LLC), a real street address, phone number, and posted clinical hours
- Named lead clinician (Laqueta Nelson, MSN, FNP-BC) instead of an anonymous care team
- Working Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and HIPAA Notice pages, not dead links
Where it loses points
- Brands itself “physician-led” sitewide, but the only named clinician is a nurse practitioner (FNP-BC), not a physician
- No LegitScript seal or other third-party pharmacy-verification badge found anywhere on the site
- Compounding pharmacy and prescribing medical group are referenced only generically — neither is named
- Exact price is not published — the $199/mo figure is only a starting point confirmed after provider review
- Domain was registered in April 2026 — a brand-new practice with no independent reviews found
