The verdict

Sprout Health takes it — 86.4/100 to 54.8/100.

Sprout Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified desk that pairs low-cost compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound path — and a near-frictionless, often visit-free start.

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.

Iron Med RX

Graded #454 · C

Strengths

  • Unusually broad GLP-1 lineup — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral tablets and injection, plus microdosing and longevity add-ons
  • Online process with licensed-provider oversight, virtual consults, progress tracking and home delivery
  • Oral tablet options for people who would rather not inject

Where it loses points

  • Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
  • Labels its oral semaglutide 'research-grade' — wording usually tied to research/non-prescription peptides; confirm it is prescribed for human use
  • Does not name its compounding pharmacy or list the states it serves; the listed address is a private mailbox (PMB), not a clinic
  • Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name or insurance options; small, lightly documented operation
Sprout Health

Graded #6 · B

Strengths

  • LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
  • Both compounded ($149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide) and a genuine brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound route
  • Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required

Where it loses points

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
  • No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
  • Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated
  • "No labs, no visit" convenience also means lighter clinical oversight

Also worth a look
