HealthSource vs Nova MD
The verdict
HealthSource takes it — 71.2/100 to 66.6/100.
HealthSource grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. HealthSource is a telehealth weight-management platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (injectable and oral sublingual) dispensed through a US-based FDA 503A licensed partner pharmacy.
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.
