Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
Superior Remedies vs Steady State Health
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Superior Remedies
Readers who want a low-dose protocol designed on its own terms rather than a smaller version of a weight-loss plan, and who do not mind starting an eligibility check to learn the price.
Visit Superior RemediesSteady State Health
Cost-first shoppers who want not applicable -- this is a physical therapy clinic, not a GLP-1/weight-loss telehealth provider.
Visit Steady State HealthThe verdict
Superior Remedies takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 46 to 45. Superior Remedies runs three named programs — semaglutide, tirzepatide, and a dedicated GLP-1 Microdose protocol for longevity and body composition — and publishes no price for any of them. Steady State Health still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want not applicable -- this is a physical therapy clinic, not a GLP-1/weight-loss telehealth provider.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Superior Remedies.

Superior Remedies
46/100Where the value is
- Runs a dedicated GLP-1 Microdose program with its own page, framed for metabolic health and body composition rather than aggressive weight loss
- Publishes a clinical exclusion that turns business away: patients with significant weight to lose are told they would be better served by a standard GLP-1 protocol
- Charges nothing if you are not approved
The tradeoffs
- Serves only seven states (CA, IL, MI, NY, UT, VA, WI) per its own treatment-page FAQ and contact page, not the nationwide footprint the marketing implies
- No price on any program page — the only public figure is a homepage headline labeled a limited-time offer and attached to the general pitch rather than to a program
Steady State Health
45/100Where the value is
- N/A -- not a GLP-1 provider
The tradeoffs
- Does not prescribe or sell semaglutide, tirzepatide, or any weight-loss medication
- Single-location, in-person Maine-only physical therapy practice, not a telehealth platform
