About ElleS
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.

Injectable, sublingual and tablet forms are all offered, at $266 per month upward for the compounded GLP-1 semaglutide and $399 per month upward for compounded tirzepatide. An online medical history comes first. Next an independent licensed provider takes a telehealth call and writes where appropriate, and the parcel goes home. Lean Rx works out of Sacramento, advertises pricing with nothing hidden, and states that it is a technology company rather than a healthcare provider. No list of states exists.

ElleS
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to ElleS
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $269 a month, 45% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $349 a month, 40% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- 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
