Näky
58/100Where the value is
- Distinct oral semaglutide drops product line ($145) as an alternative to injections — uncommon among compounded GLP-1 brands
- Separate GLP-1 microdose program offered ($185) for patients who want a lower-dose protocol
- LegitScript verification is displayed and checkable for its own website
The tradeoffs
- No prices appear on its marketing pages, several of which are missing; the flat prices sit only in store listings most visitors won't find
- A 'Wegovy® Pill' SKU at $149 uses Novo Nordisk's brand name for what doesn't appear to be FDA-approved oral Wegovy, so ask exactly what product you'd receive before you buy
Red Mountain Weight Loss
58/100Where the value is
- Care starts with a one-on-one visit with a licensed provider, by video or at one of its Arizona clinics, and includes monthly consultations
- Its founder and chief medical officer is a physician board certified in obesity medicine
- Names its dispensing pharmacy, Nationwide Compounding, which ships medication to your home with free shipping for members
The tradeoffs
- Telemedicine is offered only in Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Florida
- The "from $149" GLP-1 price doesn't say which drug or dose it buys; exact pricing is given only on a call or at your visit
