Marek Health vs telos rx
The verdict
telos rx takes it — 85.4/100 to 66.9/100.
telos rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified, HIPAA telehealth with one of the deepest published catalogs on the board — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (oral and microdosed routes included) alongside PT-141, intranasal NAD+, and a long recovery/GH peptide bench — with compounded GLP-1 starting from $49/mo on an annual plan.

Graded #173 · C
Strengths
- Lab panels are core: initial comprehensive labs + 6–12 week follow-up + ongoing every 6 months — rare among GLP-1 providers
- Dedicated Health Coach paired with each client alongside partnered licensed physician as standard Proactive Care Team
- All 50 US states served; 100% telehealth with routine physician check-ins every 6 months built into the program
- Human optimization framing attracts pragmatic patients; partnered physicians selected for data-driven, high-leverage mindset
- No set subscription plan — custom protocol built around client health goals with option to cancel anytime
Where it loses points
- Pricing fully gated — no published rates; intake assessment required before quotes, limiting upfront comparison shopping
- Annual in-person physical required from own PCP or urgent care (every 12 months) — not provided by Marek Health
- No LegitScript certification found; platform explicitly disclaims being a healthcare clinic, which reduces regulatory trust signals
- Weight loss is one of many services alongside TRT, hair, brain focus, sexual health — not a dedicated GLP-1 platform
- Compounded vs. brand medication details not disclosed publicly — medication type determined post-intake with partnered physician
Graded #9 · B
Strengths
- Deep published catalog — sema, tirz, PT-141, intranasal NAD+, recovery/GH peptides, GHK-Cu, Dihexa, HRT
- Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, not injection-only
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA, with US providers and pharmacies, HSA/FSA and free shipping
- Low GLP-1 entry — from $49/mo microdosed on an annual plan
Where it loses points
- Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved, including the peptides
- Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1 and the lowest rates require annual lock-in
- No named clinicians and thin third-party reviews
- Several research-grade peptides carry limited clinical evidence
