HealthRX vs NewSelf

Ranked #54 for women · Grade C

The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: HealthRX

HealthRX edges out NewSelf on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 64 (B vs C). Women who want a LegitScript-certified, physician-supervised program with both molecules, an oral-tablet route as well as injections, and transparent flat pricing with no insurance to navigate. The reasoning behind that number is in the HealthRX scorecard.

NewSelf is still a genuine option — one price at any dose, three months of medication shipped up front — and a set of exit terms and unresolved compliance problems that make it the hardest program on this board to leave. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our NewSelf write-up for women goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, our ranked shortlist of NewSelf alternatives widens the field.

HealthRX

Ranked #5 · Grade B

What we like

  • LegitScript-certified (a meaningful third-party trust signal) with physician-supervised care, not a prescription-only handoff
  • Both molecules plus a rare oral GLP-1 tablet — real optionality for the needle-averse and for insulin-resistant PCOS
  • Transparent, no-insurance flat pricing — injectable GLP-1 around $189/mo, oral tablet around $239/mo, GLP+GIP around $349/mo

The caveats

  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • Some tiers are company-stated and the public site is thin, so a few figures can't be verified live
  • Brand-name tiers are pass-through and expensive — brand Ozempic runs about $1,299/mo

NewSelf

Ranked #54 · Grade C

What we like

  • One flat price at every dose for both molecules, with the dose ladder published beside it
  • Three months of medication shipped up front, so there is no waiting on refills mid-titration
  • LegitScript certified with a published, checkable ID

The caveats

  • FDA warning letter MARCS-CMS 721472, dated 20 February 2026, to NewSelf Limited dba NewSelf, over product labelling and marketing language. As of 1 August 2026 the wording the FDA objected to was still live on the site — five months on, unremediated
  • The product pages carry a badge reading 'cancel anytime', while the refund policy requires a three-month commitment and charges a full retail month as an early-cancellation fee. Those cannot both be true
  • No refunds: cancelling before the doctor's review costs a $99 administrative fee, and after it nothing is refundable regardless of shipment status
