Eloria vs Lumen Meds
The verdict
Eloria takes it — 65.6/100 to 64.6/100, but only just.
Eloria grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Eloria is a clinician-led GLP-1 weight-loss telehealth platform operated by Arora Health & Aesthetics. Lumen Meds is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
