What NuvaHealth does well
- LegitScript certified with a working verification badge
- Names four real pharmacy partners (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx) rather than one anonymous 'licensed pharmacy'
- All 50 states served per its own FAQ
- Free shipping stated as included, not itemized separately
Why readers look for an alternative
- The headline $89/$139 prices are explicitly first-month-only per NuvaHealth's own FAQ — the real month-two-plus recurring price is not published anywhere and only appears at checkout after intake
- No named prescriber or medical director anywhere on the site
- No dose-tier pricing table, so it's impossible to know what a titrated-up dose costs even in month one
- No lab testing or Certificate of Analysis disclosure
