The verdict

NuBloom takes it — 69/100 to 59.3/100.

NuBloom grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. NuBloom is a women's metabolic-health telehealth practice founded by family and integrative-medicine physician Dr.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Next Vial

Graded #345 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript verified with named pharmacy partner (Manifest Pharmacy, Greer, SC)
  • No membership fees — one all-in price covering consultation, medication, and shipping
  • Compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and microdose options available
  • Free rushed shipping; serves 49 states nationwide
  • Board-certified physician oversight with ongoing provider support

Where it loses points

  • Tirzepatide pricing not listed publicly (starting price covers GLP-1 generally)
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
  • Labs and nutritional coaching not disclosed
  • Microdose pricing not published on product page
  • Alaska not listed among served states
NuBloom

Graded #134 · C

Strengths

  • Transparent, openly published pricing: compounded semaglutide $149/mo and tirzepatide $279/mo as flexible month-to-month subscriptions
  • Founded and medically led by a named physician (Dr. Marianne Pinkston Mueller, family/integrative medicine, 25+ years)
  • Whole-person model pairs GLP-1s with hormone, gut-health and longevity care plus in-depth lab testing
  • State coverage published openly: 49 states listed on the site (all except Mississippi)
  • Optional 90-day 1:1 coaching program with weekly meetings and unlimited text support ($599/mo)

Where it loses points

  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not named anywhere on the site — a transparency gap
  • NuBloom's own LegitScript/PCAB status is not displayed; only its telehealth partner is certified
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; one FAQ loosely calls them 'FDA-approved,' contradicting the product pages
  • All sales are final and medical consult fees are non-refundable; no returns on prescription products
  • Disputes go to binding individual arbitration; the Terms' governing-law state is left as an unfilled '[STATE]' placeholder

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
