Grade B+ · #5Vaylen
Editorial reviewThe widest formulary on the board — both molecules, brand-name and oral routes — nationwide and LegitScript-verified.

Winner: Vaylen
Vaylen takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 88/100 to 87/100 (grade B+ vs B+). Anyone who wants every option on one account: compounded, brand-name or oral, without leaving to shop around. ShedRx still earns its place — people who want an oral or sublingual option rather than weekly injections.
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.
