About MangoRx
Verification is still outstanding on the GLP-1 side of MangoRx (Mangoceuticals). Pricing, states, pharmacy partners, and clinical workflow have not cleared our YMYL check, so this stays a stub entry. The men's health platform sells compounded GLP-1 weight management, and beside it hair loss programs, ED treatment, and testosterone replacement therapy.

MangoRx
What we like
- The monthly figure covers medication and consult
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide at $299 a month, 50% above the $199 register median for the same drug and form
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Embody
What we like
- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $129 a month, 52% 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 figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- Names 4 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition
Watch-outs
- 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
