NuuVim vs Velvet Rx
The verdict
NuuVim takes it — 71.1/100 to 58.1/100.
NuuVim grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. NuuVim is a Texas-based DTC telehealth program offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injectable and oral forms — oral access is uncommon here — plus limited brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound.

Graded #101 · C
Strengths
- Low compounded entry pricing — semaglutide from $79/mo, tirzepatide from $133/mo, flat all-dose pricing
- Both injectable and oral compounded options for semaglutide and tirzepatide (oral access is uncommon)
- LegitScript Certified and HIPAA-compliant
- Two named compounding pharmacy partners (Hallandale Pharmacy and Pharmacy Hub), both vetted in our directory
- Operating legal entity disclosed: NuuVim LLC, Texas governing law
Where it loses points
- No founder, CEO, medical director, or pharmacist-in-charge named
- Refund and cancellation policy not surfaced on the site
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- Doesn't disclose which pharmacy fills which drug or form
- FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 19 March 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
Graded #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
