Verdict86/ 100

A LegitScript-certified desk that pairs low-cost compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound path — carrying an FDA warning letter from September 2025.
Visit Sprout HealthThe verdict
Winner: ShedRx
ShedRx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 87/100 to 86/100 (grade B+ vs B). People who want options rather than one route: a needle-free form, a brand pathway, or coaching included instead of sold separately. Sprout Health still earns its place — patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding.
Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.

ShedRx
What we like
- Four routes to a GLP-1 — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill — plus brand Zepbound and Wegovy
- Tirzepatide $299/mo month-to-month falling to $239 on a twelve-month plan; semaglutide $199 falling to $159
- Health coaching included with membership rather than upsold
- Publishes a 120-day weight-loss guarantee, which almost nothing else here offers
The caveats
- The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires committing to twelve months — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
Sprout Health
What we like
- LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
- Both compounded ($149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide) and a genuine brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound route
- Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required
The caveats
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
- No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
- Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated
- "No labs, no visit" convenience also means lighter clinical oversight
- FDA issued a warning letter to Sprout Health Partners LLC dba Sprout Health in September 2025; it is public in FDA's warning-letter database
