Read our full Hers review →About Vital Edge
One flat monthly fee covers the consult, the medication and shipping, and does not rise with dose. Compounded semaglutide is $350/mo, compounded tirzepatide $450/mo, and compounded oral capsules run from $199/mo; brand-name Rybelsus, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic are stocked too, an unusually broad menu. Vital Edge practices out of Chattanooga, TN, with physician-supervised GLP-1 weight loss delivered by video nationwide and medication shipped to the door monthly.
Read our full Vital Edge review →Pros & Cons
Hers
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
- Serves all 50 states
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Hers a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Vital Edge
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $199 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $269 a month, close to the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Vital Edge
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
