Healthspan

+Deepest rapamycin-centered longevity formulary we track: oral and topical rapamycin, SGLT2 inhibitors, metformin, acarbose, LDN and methylene blue
+Low entry pricing for core longevity drugs (rapamycin from $64/mo, metformin $27, acarbose $25), shown on the homepage
+Strong patient sentiment: 4.8/5 across ~402 Trustpilot reviews, with a founder who responds personally to negative reviews
−Brand-name GLP-1s require the $99+/mo membership on top of the medication cost ($299/mo Zepbound, $149/mo Wegovy pill)
−Longevity uses of rapamycin, SGLT2 inhibitors and metformin are off-label, and headline claims (e.g., an 8-year average biological-age reduction) are self-reported
−Dispensing pharmacy and medical group are not named on the public site
