Vital Harmony Rx
39/100Where the value is
- Explicit compounded-medication + 'not a pharmacy/manufacturer' disclosure on-site
- Both a semaglutide (GLP-1+B12) and a tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP+B12) option
- Operates on a named physician network (Beluga Health)
The tradeoffs
- NO pricing published anywhere on the site — a major gap for a cost-comparison directory; buyers cannot evaluate value without contacting the company
- No specific state list (only 'entire country' claimed)
Believe Health
37/100Where the value is
- Publishes a full peptide catalog with 19 priced entries before any intake, while publishing no GLP-1 price at all
- Names its operating company, Believe Health LLC, in terms updated in June 2026 — the August record found no entity at all
- States plainly that you are charged only after a physician approves a plan
The tradeoffs
- No GLP-1 price is published anywhere — every treatment page reads "AVAILABLE BY CONSULTATION" where a figure would sit, while the same pages promise "flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees"
- The low-dose GLP-1 is sold without naming its molecule on any page
