The verdict

LunaRx takes it — 61.2/100 to 58.1/100.

LunaRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. LunaRx is a bilingual (English/Spanish) telehealth practice from LunaRx LLC built around "metabolic recomposition" — compounded GLP-1 therapy paired with muscle-protective peptides and a structured off-ramp…

Carocare Wellness

Graded #378 · C

Strengths

  • Real, named local clinic in Houston with hands-on provider support, in-person visits and Google-reviewed patient experiences
  • Low entry pricing — semaglutide from $170 and tirzepatide from $200 in month 1, with 3-month bundles ($500 / $600) that cut the effective monthly cost
  • Packages include ongoing provider support, supplies and delivery
  • Also offers IV hydration and NAD+ if you want broader wellness services in one place

Where it loses points

  • Houston/Texas only — no nationwide telehealth, so it is not an option outside the local area
  • Dose-escalating pricing climbs steeply (semaglutide reaches $330 by month 5; tirzepatide $425 by month 6)
  • Compounding pharmacy is not named, and there is no LegitScript or published clinical-oversight detail
  • Small single-location operation with no patient portal — booking and support run through Calendly and direct contact
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name or oral options
LunaRx

Graded #299 · C

Strengths

  • Pairs GLP-1 with muscle-protective peptides (e.g., CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, NAD+) to defend lean mass during fat loss
  • Structured, physician-directed off-ramp taper with GI-reset support instead of an indefinite prescription
  • Bilingual care in English and Spanish across intake, messaging, and consults
  • Care directed through a named independent medical group (CareNexus Clinic PC); $0 charged if you are not approved
  • Published clinical support hours (Mon–Fri, CT) with phone, email, and secure messaging; cancel anytime

Where it loses points

  • Only a "from $199/mo" starting price is published; tirzepatide and per-tier pricing are confirmed only after a provider review
  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not named on the site — a transparency gap
  • No LegitScript or PCAB verification is displayed
  • States served are not published; the site claims "telehealth nationwide" but the Terms limit service to states where LunaRx is licensed
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this)

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
