Nothing is priced publicly; the numbers appear after the CareValidate intake. ElleS Inc. sells its weight-loss line as 3- and 6-month packages that fold the telehealth visit, the medication and delivery together, covering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as injectables and as oral capsules, plus a microdose. The catalog runs much wider, into TRT, HRT with estradiol, sexual health, hair loss and longevity via sermorelin and NAD+, with a Registered Dietitian on hand. No LegitScript certification is displayed, and no name is attached to the pharmacy partner.
