The verdict

BioGlow Health takes it — 69.2/100 to 67.2/100, but only just.

BioGlow Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. BioGlow Health is a physician-supervised multi-vertical telehealth brand — weight loss, peptides, testosterone, ED and hair — that ships compounded medication to all 50 states with a free consultation and… Optimized Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.
