Premium Health
55/100Where the value is
- All-inclusive flat pricing stated to cover medical consultation, provider visits, medication, supplies, and shipment in one number
- Month-to-month with 'the option to cancel anytime if unsatisfied' — no long-term contract
- Names three real, licensed pharmacy partners (Hallandale Pharmacy, Red Rock Pharmacy, Strive Pharmacy)
The tradeoffs
- The $275/$445 base price is NOT the ceiling: reaching the higher labeled doses costs an additional $100/mo or $150/mo, pushing the real cost to $375-$595/mo
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Premium Health Management Inc. dba Premium Health in February 2026. We still list and link to Premium Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
CeliaRx
55/100Where the value is
- LegitScript seal displayed
- Offers both injectable and oral-dissolving-tablet formats
- Multiple dose tiers available for both drugs
The tradeoffs
- Not primarily positioned as a weight-loss clinic -- broader peptide/longevity focus dilutes clinical weight-loss framing
- No disclosed supply duration per SKU, so real monthly cost can't be confirmed from the site
