ShedRx (Shed)
87/100Where the value is
- Four routes to a GLP-1 — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill
- Brand Zepbound and Wegovy available alongside the compounded line
- Available in all 50 states, with health coaching included and a published 120-day weight-loss guarantee
The tradeoffs
- The advertised "as low as" prices ($159 semaglutide, $239 tirzepatide) require a TWELVE-MONTH commitment — month-to-month is $199 and $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
Fitness RX
70/100Where the value is
- $119/mo all-in including medication, 1:1 physician consults, and unlimited messaging ($100-off-for-life intro promo)
- Both compounded (injectable + sublingual semaglutide/tirzepatide) and brand GLP-1 (Wegovy, Zepbound)
- Integrated fitness and nutrition/behavioral coaching (linked to the BodyFX brand)
The tradeoffs
- Promo-driven landing page; compounding pharmacy and legal entity not named
- Tirzepatide and brand pricing may differ from the advertised $119/mo plan
