Nalena vs TeleSlim Clinic
The verdict
Nalena takes it — 71.2/100 to 56.1/100.
Nalena grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Nalena is a women-focused, GLP-1-only telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with medication included — no separate membership or visit fees.

Graded #98 · C
Strengths
- Compounded GLP-1 from $149/mo with medication included — near the floor of the compounded market
- Transparent fee model: no hidden fees, no membership, cancel anytime
- Money-back guarantee — uncommon among compounded telehealths
- Clinical provider disclosed: Beluga Health, P.A. in Houston, TX
- Women-focused positioning
Where it loses points
- Per-dose pricing not published — only the 'starting at $149' entry price
- No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP badges on public pages
- Compounding pharmacy partners not named (only 'multiple USA certified pharmacies')
- Houston address looks like a virtual office rather than a clinical facility
- No brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) — compounded only
Graded #423 · C
Strengths
- Board-certified obesity-medicine physicians oversee care
- LegitScript certified with a named dispensing pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy)
- Transparent, low monthly membership pricing with multi-month plans
Where it loses points
- Medication cost is separate from the 99-dollar membership and not clearly published
