Nucore Health vs ShedRx
The verdict
ShedRx takes it — 87/100 to 58.6/100.
ShedRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The widest formulation spread on the board — injection, drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill, plus a real brand Zepbound lane.

Graded #367 · C
Strengths
- Physician-owned and LegitScript Certified — strong trust signals
- Available nationwide in all 50 states
- Care and pharmacy fulfillment run on OpenLoop Health's licensed network
- Broad menu — compounded GLP-1, microdose tirzepatide, NAD+, sermorelin, MIC B12
Where it loses points
- Published pricing is gated behind the intake quiz — no upfront cost shown
- Legal terms and privacy are posted as downloadable documents, not web pages
- Compounded GLP-1 is not FDA-approved and prescribed off-label (per their own notice)
- Longevity and microdose positioning is marketing; evidence varies by use
Graded #3 · B+
Strengths
- Four GLP-1 routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill
- Brand Zepbound and Wegovy available beside the compounded line
- Health coaching included with membership, plus a published 120-day weight-loss guarantee
Where it loses points
- The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
