About Trellis Vitality
Trellis Vitality is an online longevity clinic that frames weight loss around body composition rather than scale weight. Compounded semaglutide starts at $150 a month and tirzepatide at $199, with every dose priced the same and no membership or consult fee layered on top. The program pairs GLP-1s with at-home biomarker panels, a 90-day re-test, and muscle-preserving options such as tesamorelin and glycine formulations. Trellis is a care-coordination company; prescribing is done by the Arora Health provider network and dispensing by Houston pharmacy VialsRX.

Medication is billed separately from a required annual membership, and the program bundles unlimited clinician messaging, dietitian access and express cold shipping.

Trellis Vitality
What we like
- Names both its pharmacy (VialsRX, Houston TX) and its prescribing network, with a street address and phone number for the pharmacy.
- All dosages cost the same, and there is no membership fee or consult charge on top of the monthly price.
- Frames the program around body composition, with at-home biomarker panels and a 90-day re-test rather than scale weight alone.
- Will review labs from an existing compounded program and recommend protocol adjustments free of charge.
Watch-outs
- Headline stats (92% biomarker improvement, $4,000 average annual saving, 3.4 weeks saved) are unsourced and cannot be checked.
- The "4.7 / 5 · 5,000+ current patients" rating names no review platform, so it cannot be checked against a public record.
- Prescribing runs through the Arora Health network, shared with several unrelated telehealth brands, so the clinical layer isn't exclusive.
- Refund eligibility is decided per order rather than by a stated policy, so outcomes are discretionary.
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
