About Southern Vitality and Weight Loss
Prices at Southern Vitality and Weight Loss open as low as $99/mo on compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with nothing charged for membership and no fees hidden behind it; vitamin injections and peptides are sold too. The telehealth consult costs nothing, delivery is free, and check-ins land every two weeks under physician supervision. The operation has been running since 2012 out of Georgia. It does something most rivals will not, naming three compounding partners: RX Compound Store, The Pharmacy Hub and PerfectRx. Which states it covers is never published.

Titrating up does not raise the rate, which is flat and monthly: $79 to start on compounded semaglutide, $109 on compounded tirzepatide, the telehealth visit and shipping absorbed into both. Clinicians come from the OpenLoop Health network. Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC operates the service and puts names to its five dispensing pharmacies as well as to the physicians who prescribe.

Southern Vitality and Weight Loss
What we like
- 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
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- 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 and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

- Names 5 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
