The verdict

Nava Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Nava Health is a functional and integrative medicine practice offering its NavaRX medical weight loss program with GLP-1 medications (semaglutide and tirzepatide, brand or compounded).

Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
