Modern Age vs The Virtual NP
The verdict
The Virtual NP takes it — 60.8/100 to 58.7/100.
The Virtual NP grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The Virtual NP is a nurse-practitioner-led telehealth weight loss clinic prescribing FDA-approved branded GLP-1 medications, Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.
