Hormonally Balanced vs Risen Labs
The verdict
Risen Labs takes it — 57.2/100 to 56.4/100, but only just.
Risen Labs grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Risen Labs (risenlabstx.com, Risen Labs LLC) is a telehealth service offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as once-weekly injections for weight loss, alongside men's health and hormone programs. Hormonally Balanced is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
