FormBlends vs NuvaHealth
The verdict
NuvaHealth takes it — 74.2/100 to 72.7/100, but only just.
NuvaHealth grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. NuvaHealth (nuvahealth.org) is a LegitScript-certified compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide starting at $159 first-month and compounded tirzepatide starting at $259 first-month. FormBlends is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #75 · C
Strengths
- Low published entry price on compounded semaglutide ($99) from a licensed 503A pharmacy
- Physician-supervised program with 24/7 care-team access and free shipping over $150
- Extensive free educational content, guides and provider comparisons on-site
Where it loses points
- Enrollment and final pricing complete on an external portal (rx.formscripts.com), not fully on-site
- $99 may be an intro rate; tirzepatide is comparatively high at $349/mo
- State availability and LegitScript status not published; pharmacy is its own FormScripts brand
Graded #65 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified seal displayed on the marketing site (the standard third-party telehealth/pharmacy accreditation)
- Free and fast delivery + 24/7 patient support disclosed on the home page
- Newark, DE address suggests a US-incorporated entity (vs offshore)
- $139 first-month price for compounded semaglutide injection is among the cheapest in the US compounded telehealth market
- $229 first-month price for compounded tirzepatide injection sits in the lower-median range
Where it loses points
- Standard ongoing monthly price NOT publicly disclosed (gated behind checkout) — patients should ask for the maintenance-dose price before committing
- Specific legal entity name + state of incorporation NOT publicly disclosed on the home page — material YMYL transparency gap
- Pharmacy partners NOT publicly named — material YMYL transparency gap
- Per-state availability NOT enumerated; verify your state ships before purchase
