TRT Nation vs Vital Edge
The verdict
Vital Edge takes it — 65/100 to 63.1/100, but only just.
Vital Edge grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Vital Edge is a Chattanooga, TN telehealth practice offering physician-supervised GLP-1 weight loss nationwide by video, with medication shipped to your door each month. TRT Nation is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
