Lumen Meds vs Tru2u
The verdict
Lumen Meds takes it — 64.6/100 to 64.4/100, but only just.
Lumen Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Lumen Meds (lumenmeds.com) is a Delaware-incorporated compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform (Lumen Meds LLC, 128 Sunset Blvd #1214, New Castle, DE 19720). Tru2u is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
