Auren Rx vs Science & Co
The verdict
Too close to call — both grade 72.9/100 (C).
Auren Rx and Science & Co land on the same WeighScore, so neither clears the other on our six graded dimensions. Auren Rx sits one line higher here (#85 vs #86) on the underlying tiebreak, but it's a genuine coin-flip — pick on the factors and prices that matter most to you below.

Graded #85 · C
Strengths
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide cost the same, so the choice of molecule is clinical rather than budgetary
- A microdose lane is priced separately at $129 on auto-refill rather than folded into the standard figure
- Names its dispensing pharmacy, VialsRX, with a street address and a phone number in Houston, Texas
- Names a prescribing physician and practice, and publishes support hours of Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern
Where it loses points
- The $149 figure requires enrolling in auto-refill; a single month with no commitment is $179
- Two different medical groups are named for the same service — Wasef Health, PC on the contact page and FAQ, Beluga Health, P.A. in the telehealth consent
- Product pages advertise a free online visit while the Terms make the initial online visit and any laboratory testing the patient's responsibility
- The FAQ says all 50 states, the Terms say service is available only in certain states, and no list is published
- No compounding class is stated for VialsRX, so whether it operates under 503A or 503B is unknown
- NAD+ is priced at two different figures on the same site, which is not reassuring about the GLP-1 numbers
Graded #86 · C
Strengths
- States twice in its footer that "Science and Co, Inc. is not a 503A or 503B compounding facility"
- Its own FAQ names the commitment behind the headline: "Plans start at $125 a month on the 12 month plan"
- The printed saving corroborates the reference price — 125 divided by 199 is 63%, exactly the "Save 37%" shown
- "Same Price, Any Dose", with no hidden fees, no monthly membership and free shipping stated in the FAQ
- Names its operating entity and state of incorporation, and says every batch is third-party tested
Where it loses points
- The number it leads with is a twelve-month commitment; the per-month rates are $149 and $199
- Only two figures are published per drug, so a three- or six-month plan cannot be priced without starting an intake
- It says it is not a compounding facility but never names the pharmacy that is
- No lab or monitoring protocol is published
- Injection only on the pages read — no oral route and no brand lane
