VitaStir review

For a reader who intends to hold a deliberately small dose this is one of the more useful catalogs here, and for an unglamorous reason: the price is attached to the milligram, publicly, on both molecules, and the lowest rung is the cheapest by a wide margin. Someone holding the entry dose pays a fraction of what the maintenance rung costs, and the same shape holds for both drugs. Nothing has to be inferred, because the ladder is printed. Two features of the presentation need care. The first is the unit. A kit is four once-weekly injections and the seller calls it a thirty-day supply; four weekly doses covers twenty-eight days, so anyone reordering as they run out buys thirteen kits in a year rather than twelve, and an annual cost should be worked out from the kit rather than from the word month. The second is the discounting. Almost the whole catalog is marked as on sale, and the two struck-through figures on the weight-loss cards do not behave the way a former price should. One is struck from a number higher than any rung that ladder contains, so it is not a price the product previously carried. The other is struck from a figure that is simply the current cost of a higher dose, which makes the saving a comparison against more drug rather than against an earlier price. Both products also carry a mandatory titration notice requiring every patient to start at the lowest rung, which suits a reader starting small and says nothing about whether they may stay there.

For a reader who intends to hold a deliberately small dose, this is one of the more useful catalogs here, and for an unglamorous reason: the price is attached to the milligram, publicly, on both molecules, and the lowest rung is the cheapest by a wide margin. Someone holding the entry semaglutide dose pays less than a third of what the maintenance rung costs, and the same shape holds for tirzepatide. Nothing has to be inferred, because the ladder is printed. Two features of the presentation need care. The first is the unit. A kit is four once-weekly injections, and the seller calls it a thirty-day supply; four weekly doses covers twenty-eight days, so anyone reordering as they run out will buy thirteen kits in a year rather than twelve, and a year's cost should be worked out from the kit rather than from the word month. The second is the discounting. Almost the whole catalog is marked as on sale, and the two struck-through figures on the weight-loss cards do not behave the way a former price should. The semaglutide card is struck from a number higher than any rung that ladder contains, so it is not a price this product previously carried. The tirzepatide card is struck from a figure that is simply the current cost of a higher dose, which makes the saving a comparison against more drug rather than against an earlier price. Both products also carry a mandatory titration notice requiring every patient to start at the lowest rung, which suits a reader starting small and says nothing about whether they may stay there.

A kit is four weekly injections sold as a month, so a year takes thirteen of them.

• The semaglutide card is struck through from a figure higher than any rung it charges.
• The tirzepatide saving is measured against the current price of a higher dose.

VitaStir is one of 548 low-dose GLP-1 programs compared on this site, and 299 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The full list puts every published price in one place, with the companies that pay us listed first — something we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
