iThriveMD vs ShedRx
The verdict
ShedRx takes it — 87/100 to 66.7/100.
ShedRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The widest formulation spread on the board — injection, drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill, plus a real brand Zepbound lane.

Graded #185 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide (from $299/mo) and tirzepatide (from $399/mo), plus microdosing tirzepatide programs
- Lab testing and personalized protocols with a medical team; free initial consultation
- Very thorough legal/policy suite (Terms, Privacy, EUA, Shipping, Returns, CCPA)
- Broad longevity menu: hormones (HRT/TRT), NAD+, peptides, IV therapy, sexual health, diagnostics
Where it loses points
- Premium pricing — higher than budget compounded-GLP-1 competitors (lowest rates need 'preferred pricing')
- Headline GLP-1 pricing is 'starting at'; full cost depends on dose and program length
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
Graded #3 · B+
Strengths
- Four GLP-1 routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill
- Brand Zepbound and Wegovy available beside the compounded line
- Health coaching included with membership, plus a published 120-day weight-loss guarantee
Where it loses points
- The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
