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.
Read our full MangoRx review →About Marek Health
There is no published rate. Each protocol gets its own quote. Clients in the US are matched to health coaches and partnered physicians for metabolic care, lab panels of some depth, and tirzepatide or semaglutide. Before a client sees a provider the first time, labs must be drawn; testing repeats at 6-12 weeks and then every 6 months. Alongside the partnered physician sits a Marek Health Coach assigned to that client, checking in routinely twice a year.

MangoRx
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to MangoRx
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 50% above the $199 median for oral semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- 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 is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
