Read our full bmiMD review →About Shape Vantage
One product, priced at $599, is all Shape Vantage sells: tirzepatide, bought through a direct checkout link with no medical intake visible anywhere in the path. Its terms leave provider review as something that may happen rather than something that must. The profile is a hybrid gray-market one and does not fit how compounded telehealth normally works. GLP Watchdog does not recommend Shape Vantage. Establish what the actual prescription pathway is before any money changes hands.

bmiMD
What we like
- Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $139 a month, 48% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
