LillyDirect Foundayo vs Trava Health
The verdict
Trava Health takes it — 68.6/100 to 67.2/100, but only just.
Trava Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Houston-based DTC telehealth offering compounded semaglutide+B12 and tirzepatide+B12 through SIX named 503A compounding pharmacy partners disclosed on Trava's own Terms + Telehealth Consent pages… LillyDirect Foundayo is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
