Metabolyz vs RxSpan MD
The verdict
RxSpan MD takes it — 86.8/100 to 59.6/100.
RxSpan MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A physician-led telehealth under board-certified founder Dr. John Diaz with a broad GLP-1 menu — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by injection or oral capsule, plus a brand-name lane and microdosing — on transparent all-inclusive pricing to all 50 states.

Graded #339 · C
Strengths
- Three GLP-1 programs: standard semaglutide, dual-agonist tirzepatide, and a microdose protocol for near-goal or dose-sensitive patients
- Nutrition, movement, and lifestyle coaching included in all programs at no extra charge
- Medication compounded in licensed 503A/503B US pharmacies with temperature-controlled, unmarked direct-to-door delivery
- Licensed provider supervision with direct messaging access and structured check-ins throughout
- Telehealth across all 50 states; BMI 27+ eligibility (25+ with weight-related condition)
Where it loses points
- Pricing is fully gated — not disclosed until after consultation, preventing upfront cost comparison
- Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name options (Wegovy, Zepbound) available
- No LegitScript certification or named medical leadership found on public-facing pages
- Labs not mentioned as included — unclear whether baseline or follow-up bloodwork is offered
- Newer brand with no external reviews, published outcomes data, or notable accreditations
Graded #4 · B
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Transparent, all-inclusive published pricing — consult, medication, supplies, shipping and support, cancel anytime, from ~$194/mo compounded semaglutide on an annual plan
- Both injectable and a real oral (capsule) route, plus compounded and an advertised brand-name lane
- Physician-led by a named, board-certified founder (Dr. John Diaz) with 24/7 messaging and coaching
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide are not FDA-approved (not the same as Wegovy/Ozempic/Zepbound)
- Published pricing is for the compounded line — brand-name pricing isn’t itemized
- A prescription isn’t guaranteed — a provider reviews eligibility after checkout
