Luvo Health

#53 of 53

2.4/10

Luvo Health is a multi-service telehealth clinic running weight loss beside microdosing, longevity, skincare, hormone replacement and testosterone. Its GLP-1 line covers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, compounded semaglutide tablets, and brand Ozempic and Zepbound, each with its own page and published price. Pricing is quoted per week and billed in 4-week cycles, which reads cheaper than the monthly figure it works out to, and the brand rates are among the highest we track.

Pros & Cons Compared

Luvo Health

Pros

+Publishes a price on every medication page and a full 4-week grid on /pricing, with no intake required to see either
+Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+Will transfer your prescription to any licensed pharmacy you choose, in writing, and coordinates it for you. Most compounded programs we track lock you to their own pharmacy

Cons

−Brand pricing is the highest we track: Ozempic $1,299 per 4 weeks ($325/week) and Zepbound $350/week, roughly $1,408/mo against NovoCare self-pay at $349
−Prices are quoted per WEEK and billed per 4-WEEK cycle, so a year is 13 cycles rather than 12 and costs more than the monthly reading suggests
−The cheaper per-week floors ($45 semaglutide, $67 tirzepatide) require longer commitments whose terms and totals are never published
−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; 'prepared by licensed pharmacies' is as specific as the site gets
−No legal entity is disclosed on the homepage, pricing page or FAQ
−No lab panel is offered or required, and no third-party review profile could be located

Maximus

Pros

+Lowest published microdose medication price we track, $79.99/mo semaglutide; consultation and lab fees are separate
+GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
+Maximus markets a semaglutide formula with added glycine and B12 as a way to ease nausea; we found no Maximus-specific clinical trial validating that claim
+Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

−The $99.99/mo rate is introductory: standard dosing is $299.99/mo, with consultations billed separately at $28-35 and labs at $199-349/yr, so budget on the standard rate, not the intro
−Compounding pharmacy partners are not disclosed, a transparency gap for a healthcare platform
−Bulk-plan prices rise as your dose escalates; ask for the full dose-price schedule up front so total cost isn't a surprise
−FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding

Our Verdict

Maximus edges out Luvo Health with a score of 5.1/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Maximus is published $79.99/mo; total not verified. Luvo Health offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
