Strengths
- Rare oral/sublingual option in addition to injectable
- All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee
- Both molecules — semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Intro promotional pricing near $147
Where it loses points
- Compounded only — not FDA-approved
- Pricing is company-stated, not independently live-verified
- Newer and somewhat ambiguous (operates across multiple domains)
- States served are not disclosed
Bottom line — Grade C+
Best for: Patients who specifically want a non-injection option on both molecules under an all-inclusive price, and are comfortable with a newer operator whose pricing they'll want to confirm directly.

Closest here
The rankings grading nearest Direct Meds — the realistic shortlist.
Bodybuilding Health+ lists compounded semaglutide at $179 month-to-month and tirzepatide at $209. Prepaid plans lower the monthly equivalent, but the tirzepatide plan labeled Best Value costs more per month over twelve months than over six. Compare the full commitment before paying.
A Miami-founded telehealth that starts tirzepatide at $149 the first month (then $249/mo, billed quarterly) and runs semaglutide, TRT, sermorelin and NAD+ on the same account.
Vaylen is a pure GLP-1 specialist offering compounded semaglutide ($179/mo), compounded tirzepatide ($239/mo), compounded oral GLP-1 ($259/mo), and brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound, and Wegovy.
HealthRX’s current injection plans disclose the first charge and renewal separately. The lowest monthly equivalents require a prepaid year; a monthly subscription offers a smaller initial commitment.
Amazon One Medical is the unified Amazon GLP-1 channel — One Medical clinicians prescribe FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (no compounded products), and Amazon Pharmacy fulfills with same-day delivery across roughly 3,000 US cities plus pickup kiosks at select One Medical locations.
Henry's low monthly equivalents come with a full year paid upfront, so it is a poor fit for someone shopping for a short trial.
