Lumen Meds vs Sunlight.com
The verdict
Sunlight.com takes it — 85.4/100 to 64.6/100.
Sunlight.com grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. One of the cheapest published rates in the ranking — semaglutide $88/mo, tirzepatide $157/mo, flat and stated never to rise — from a LegitScript-certified telehealth with two named, NPI-verified physicians.

Graded #232 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified
- Free expedited cold shipping — important for GLP-1 cold-chain integrity
- Lifestyle coaching included, not just medication dispensing
- Orders labs when needed
- Named legal entity (Lumen Meds LLC, Delaware) with a physical address
Where it loses points
- $0 first-month promo — verify recurring billing and cancellation terms before committing
- Standard ongoing semaglutide price not shown (only the first-month promo)
- Per-state availability not listed
- Pharmacy partners not named
- Health quiz required before you see final per-patient pricing
Graded #7 · B
Strengths
- Cheapest published semaglutide in this ranking ($88/mo) with competitively priced tirzepatide ($157/mo), both flat and stated to never increase — not quiz-gated, the FAQ states the exact figures
- LegitScript-certified with two named physicians and public NPI numbers (Lion MD network), rather than an anonymous "licensed clinicians" claim
- No membership fee, cancel anytime, free shipping in 1-2 days, a fresh 4-week supply every month
- All 50 states served, plus a separate live NAD+ program on the same domain
Where it loses points
- Injection only — the hero banner's "Injections and oral options available" line does not match the live site: no oral GLP-1 product page exists and sunlight.com/oral-semaglutide/ 404s
- The $157 tirzepatide figure sits inside a collapsed FAQ accordion rather than the hero, so it takes one extra click to find even though it is genuinely on the page
- Sermorelin is marketed as "launching soon" and is not yet live — do not expect it today
- No published lab or monitoring cadence, and the compounding pharmacy partner is referenced only generically, not named
