Factor Health MD vs telos rx
The verdict
telos rx takes it — 85.4/100 to 67.2/100.
telos rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified, HIPAA telehealth with one of the deepest published catalogs on the board — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (oral and microdosed routes included) alongside PT-141, intranasal NAD+, and a long recovery/GH peptide bench — with compounded GLP-1 starting from $49/mo on an annual plan.

- Multi-product platform (GLP-1, longevity, vitamin injectables, men's health, bundles)
- HSA/FSA accepted — uncommon for compounded GLP-1

- Full states-served list not disclosed
- No named medical director

Graded #9 · B
Strengths
- Deep published catalog — sema, tirz, PT-141, intranasal NAD+, recovery/GH peptides, GHK-Cu, Dihexa, HRT
- Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, not injection-only
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA, with US providers and pharmacies, HSA/FSA and free shipping
- Low GLP-1 entry — from $49/mo microdosed on an annual plan
Where it loses points
- Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved, including the peptides
- Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1 and the lowest rates require annual lock-in
- No named clinicians and thin third-party reviews
- Several research-grade peptides carry limited clinical evidence
