Pros & Cons
Alloy
Pros
- ✓Broadest GLP-1 formulary in our catalog: brand Wegovy + brand Zepbound + oral Wegovy + compounded semaglutide + compounded tirzepatide + compounded liraglutide
- ✓All consulting doctors are certified by The Menopause Society — only ~1,000 such certified practitioners exist among ~20,000 OB-GYNs in the US
- ✓Brand-name Wegovy starting at $199/mo and compounded liraglutide starting at $80/mo cover both ends of the price/access spectrum
- ✓STARTGLP1 promo code knocks $50 off the first month per the public site
Cons
- ✗Not available in Louisiana or Mississippi (verified) — readers in those two states should be routed elsewhere
- ✗Initial consultation is $49 and is separate from medication cost — readers should know there's a non-refundable upfront fee
- ✗Menopause-specialty framing — best fit for women in menopause/perimenopause, not the right product for men or younger women whose primary need is weight loss
Aurelius Health Group
Pros
- ✓Pricing is fully published and bundled ($89 first month / $199/mo all-in) — more transparent than many compounded-GLP-1 DTC brands
- ✓LegitScript-certified seal displayed
- ✓Care-inclusive model (consults + monthly monitoring + secure messaging) rather than transactional Rx-only
- ✓Unusually candid about the limited evidence base for microdosing
Cons
- ✗MICRODOSE-only model — sub-therapeutic doses have a thinner RCT evidence base than the FDA-approved full-dose tirzepatide regimen (the site acknowledges this); expect smaller weight-loss effect than standard dosing
- ✗No semaglutide / standard full-dose option disclosed
- ✗No named compounding pharmacy partner
- ✗No specific state list and no named medical director / PIC disclosed
- ✗LegitScript ID number not captured at verification (seal present)
