- #126Mixx Health & Wellness— Mixx Health & Wellness is a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth clinic under medical director Dr. James David Lawrence III, MD (Georgia), sourcing 'Compounded GLP-1/GIP' from a named pharmacy, Promise Pharmacy (Palm Harbor, FL).68/100
- #127Neuvé Health— Neuvé Health prices twelve GLP-1 products openly — injectable and sublingual, standard and low dose, with a B12 or a glycine base — and then says three different things about whether the medication is inside the monthly figure.68/100
- #128SexyMD— SexyMD prints "from $199" and "from $299" on every page, but those are its 48-week commitment rates: the four-week price is $269 for compounded semaglutide and $369 for tirzepatide.68/100
- #129Oak— Publishes nine different "starting" prices and attaches a term to none of them — the two cheapest appear only beside a $200-off badge its own affiliate page defines as a three-month package, so this ranking files no figure for Oak at all.65/100
- #130MyDrHank— Every price this site advertises is a twelve-month prepay rate — its price display returns the cheapest term by design — so the real month-to-month cost is $249-$349, not the "from $171" on the page.65/100
- #131Alternate Health Club— Alternate Health Club is a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth storefront offering semaglutide at $129/month and tirzepatide at $169/month, both marketed as flat rates that do not rise as the dose is titrated up a real.67/100
