Peptivo
63/100Where the value is
- Four named, verifiable compounding pharmacy partners across multiple states
- Named Chief Medical Innovation Officer (MD) and VP of Pharmacy Operations, plus a physician advisory board
- Ships to all 50 states
The tradeoffs
- Exact GLP-1 pricing gated behind an intake quiz, not shown as a static table
- Company's own sibling NAD+ products use a first-month-then-higher pricing structure, raising unconfirmed suspicion the GLP-1 pricing may work the same way
ElitePhysiqMD
62/100Where the value is
- Named, credentialed medical director (25+ years, board-certified internist)
- LegitScript certified
- Nationwide coverage (all 50 states)
The tradeoffs
- Advertised '$145/mo' GLP-1 price is not broken out by drug or dose -- classic vague 'starting at' framing
- No compounding pharmacy partner named anywhere on the site
