The verdict

ZYP Medical takes it — 74.3/100 to 72.9/100, but only just.

ZYP Medical grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. ZYP Medical is a men's-health-oriented telehealth practice prescribing compounded GLP-1 medications for weight loss across six states. Kin Meds is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

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.

Kin Meds

Graded #75 · C

Strengths

  • Brand-name options too — Wegovy injection and pill, Zepbound, Foundayo from $149/mo entry pricing
  • LegitScript verified
  • Clearly identifies itself as the intake platform and a licensed third-party pharmacy as the dispenser
  • Broad longevity menu (Sermorelin, NAD+, Glutathione) plus TRT, hair, skin, and sexual health

Where it loses points

  • The third-party pharmacy partner isn't named, and Kin Meds isn't itself a licensed pharmacy
  • Per-state availability not listed
  • $149/mo brand pricing is the insured entry tier — cash-pay patients should expect higher real costs
