The verdict

Woodwork takes it — 73/100 to 63.5/100.

Woodwork grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Woodwork is a men's health telehealth platform built by Grindr that offers compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medications alongside ED care, with a focus on serving gay and queer men.

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.

ElixaMD

Graded #258 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
  • Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
  • Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
  • HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)

Where it loses points

  • $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
  • Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
  • Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
  • Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
Woodwork

  • Compounded semaglutide offered as injection or oral tablet

  • Free shipping, included lab work, and 1-on-1 care coaching
